I've only seen the first handful of episodes of the first season, which I enjoyed, but I have to admit, this looks even better. It looks like it will a lot more interesting variety of styles.
 
Because of my overzealous excitement for Aardman, I overlooked that Cartoon Saloon is also involved! They produced the gorgeous film Wolfwalkers, one of my favorite animated films of the last decade. They also did The Secret of Kells and Song of the Sea, which I've been meaning to watch.
 
Secret of the Kell is fantastic, it was the first Cartoon Saloon production I saw, and I loved it.
Definitely really looking forward to their episode.
The Aardman episode should definitely be a lot of fun.
The one with the kid with the face paint looks interesting too.
 
StarWars.com has a synopsis and cast list for each of the episodes.

I'm pretty excited about some of the names in their like Anjelica Huston, Denis Lawson's return as Wedge, Daniel Day Kim, Cynthia Orivo, Anika Noni Rose and Daveed Digs.
 
Because of my overzealous excitement for Aardman, I overlooked that Cartoon Saloon is also involved! They produced the gorgeous film Wolfwalkers, one of my favorite animated films of the last decade. They also did The Secret of Kells and Song of the Sea, which I've been meaning to watch.

Wolfwalkers and Song of the Sea are extraordinary. I've not see Kells.

The first season of Visions was (generally) outstanding and, up until Andor, the best piece of SW content in many a year. Looking forward to another season!
 
I've only watched the first two episodes, but they were both really good.
The art style in the first episode, Sith, was really cool, I loved all the stuff that the main character did with the paint.
Screecher's Reach, the second episode, was really good too. The only thing I was not real clear on was if the woman at end was another Sith or a Jedi.
 
I don't think we're meant to draw a conclusion either way but it felt like it leaned more Sith to me.

After watching them all I really enjoyed Sith, I am Your Mother, Screecher's Reach, The Spy Dancer, and Journey to the Dark Head. The others were well done just wasn't as into them.
 
May as well be, since we seem to have two of them. Someone might want to edit the thread title to reflect this though, for the sake of clarity.

Random observation that might be a spoiler but not really: Was I the only one unreasonably happy to see yet another mini-rig show up in 'The Spy Dancer'? What's that now, like three or four appearances in media recently? Don't know what's going on with LF, but there seems to be a bit of a spate of them lately! Good call on massively upscaling it too. Now the MTV-7 actually looks like it makes some kind of sense.
