    As a Star Wars fan since the 1980s, please sell me on why I should spend time watching this show. I have heard good things but haven’t got around to watching it yet. What makes this show among the best of Star Wars? If it is.

    I always wonder if these current three dimensional CGI animated series are cheaper to produce than live action or traditional animation.

      Mandalorian was about $15 million per episode in season 1.

      Clone Wars was about $1 million per episode.

      Certainly cheaper to make cartoons than live action, but not exactly shoestring.

      It’s difficult for me to find a good price analog to a 2D cartoon made recently that has a similar amount of action, and doesn’t have the budget weirdly skewed by licensing.

      I would guess that to make a traditional animation as detailed, full of motion even in backgrounds, and full of constant action scenes it would probably be more expensive and time consuming compared to 3D.

      3D animation is definitely a lot easier/cheaper than 2D, and probably a lot cheaper than live action. Making a good looking 3D character is harder than drawing a frame in a cartoon, but once you have it, animation is much easier, since you don’t have to make a new model for each frame. I assume it’s also easier to make effects for 3D than live action, since they’re stylized and don’t have to look lifelike, which is the goal of most CGI in live action media
