I mean, if you want to be crazy, why not be really crazy? And the episode even manages to outholdo the infamous Holdo maneuver by going to town with the concept and turning the dial all the way up to 11. The idea of a laser sword whip used by the sister is certainly novel, we haven’t seen that before. To enjoy this episode you need to be able to appreciate the completely over the top duel between the twins, as the brother desperately wants to save his sister from herself. The artwork is really good and the character designs of the twins, especially the dark armor, is excellent. It’s about family, it’s epic, it’s bold and it even offers a few new ideas here and there. But the sister won’t have any of that and goes after her brother and what follows is a very over the top duel between the two siblings which the brother more or less wins, but things are open-ended with the brother stranded on some desert planet (most likely Tatooine), vowing to find his sister again so he can save her (from herself). But the brother has had a vision and seen that his sister will not survive this dangerous procedure, so he steals one of the kyber crystal cores. There is this new hyperspace cannon mounted on a twin Star Destroyer, powered by a kyber crystal, but it needs to be filtered through two pieces of “dark armor” the twins are wearing to reach its actual power. However, in my opinion the basic premise of the short: Twins created through the Dark Side with a pre-destined purpose who become at odds with each other when the brother cannot go through with a plan that would kill his sister is certainly 100% Star Wars. It is bold, it is epic, it’s hyperactive at times and so over the top that some people may be turned off. I wouldn’t fault anyone if they considered The Twins to be batshit crazy and insane. Cutting a star destroyer in half with a lightsaber is a thing now
