Who else misses this show 😭😭😭
Me
Meeee
Me 😖😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😖
Me 🥺
Meeeeee miss so much
This is such a unique show with really beautiful animation, it’s such a shame that it didn’t even get a proper season 1. You have to watch a bunch of shorts, then read the books, which don’t even go by the same cannon as the show, but you have to read them anyways to understand the ending. I love the idea of having 12 main characters, and I think that the books did it really well, with each Star Darling having their own book so you could get to understand each character. The show didn’t do it as well, with several characters barely having any screen time. I’m pretty sure Astra only has one line in the entire show. I hope this show gets rebooted to get a proper season 1, as I would love to see it!
It’s so weird to me that they changed the plot so much in the show. They even changed the world building too.. like there’s sunlight and stuff in the books but it’s just always night in the web series. Also the change in personality for some of the girls (mostly Libby).. I really wish it was all done better.
@@00kat00what's Libby like in the books??
❤
@@angleleak Quite different. She’s not as hyper in the books, she’s calmer and more grounded. She’s incredibly kind and generous. She’s also always trying to please people - for example she used up almost all of her energy on her wish mission trying to keep her wisher happy instead of focusing on the main wish. She hates being mean, and is actually the first star darling to befriend Scarlet despite her loner attitude. She never babbles about boys or parties, afaik she doesn’t mention either in the books at all. She’s still ‘girly’ and her love of pink is still present, though it’s not as exaggerated as it is in the episodes.
I suppose for the show they wanted her to be the stereotypical bubbly hyper girly-girl, like a pinkie pie type character.
@@00kat00 I would've loved if she was more how she is in the books then. Her whole personality being about boys and parties and pink was honestly kinda annoying
This series was pretty unique and I'm sad that they rushed and cancelled it.
Star Darlings was only available to watch through a special streaming service and they enforced that so hard that many people were unaware of the series. The art style was distinct, yet Disney rarely mentioned or promoted it outside of the service, so no one knew there was a special show on a special service that wasn't getting viewership.
The dolls had some problems, but only one wave was released (with basic and a few deluxe Disnet sets) and Disney didn't even try at merchandise again.
I wish I'd bought them all, but I didn't expect the show to be nuked off the Earth so swiftly. (I was hoping the next set would have the movable joints move.)
What was the special service? I know they had books in the bookstore and apparently they sold ok but yeah

I like how Vega was the last one to strike at Rancora, and was the strongest to whipe her away.
I Liked it Too.
Ngl I thought she was either going to tuen bad or just die, she went from passed out/powerless to powerful enough in like seconds
Sage used her Power Crystal to Heal Her.
@@avagodfrey7910 is right
Sage use Vegas "Power Crystal" to heal vega
I was watching and at the climax when they were glowing I was like THEY'RE ASCENDING TO ANOTHER LEVEL...LIKE GEN-Z!! It's all connected!

Yeah
It’s like gen-z vs the most evil karen in the world
@@Greendragongirl HAH
Yea
I seriously don't know why this ended when it came out I was so excited, I was so young and loved it, reading the books after I watched the series. I practically loved it with my heart, seeing this again just brings back nostalgia and so many memories. All I want to do now, is go back in time. It’s so sad kids these days who are about five or six, seven or eight, won’t get to grow up with the 2000s and everything that made my childhood, great. There’s still younger kids in the comment section probably because they might rerunning it.
Who here in 2024😭

Aaa I really wish they’d give Star Darlings and Lolirock another chance. Both shows have so much potential
Lolirock was able to be completed but I wish they would have published it more and star darlings they really rushed. I really miss these kinds of shows I wish they can bring them back😢
I loved both shows and I heard lolirock will have s3 so star darlings is really sad

6:09 That's literally MLP Nightmare Moon defeat
Most of the characters apparently are inspired by them!
True though! Put them on next to each other and they’re mirror images
How's the shield so big like theirs?
Ye but nightmaremoon turned into Luna and she didnt
edi surjo
True. Lady Corgial has no redemption arc in this show. Luna did.
watching this again, after reading a lot of books, this is honestly making me tear up. this isn’t what happened in the books obviously, but I love it Sm. the books are a must read, and this series is a must watch. love u star darling forever and ever.
lowkey kinda wondering how this isnt "CZcams Kids"
atleast comments r open lol
That's what I'm saying
Because stuff.

Uhhh Vega screaming
Them crushing rocks on people uhhhhhh idk skin flaking off?
Please come back to us, Star Darlings! We miss you! 😭

2:09. Thanks for the nightmares...
2:07 Tell that to Vega!
Yup
I remember the first time I watched this, I was horrified but now I'm fine :3
@@cloxygene I had NIGHTMARES goodness TT
Wow this last episode turned dark and emotional real quick! Finally! I was waiting for the action to happen and it finally happened in the last 3 episodes! I wish these episodes were longer and not just 1 minute or 6-9 min long. It’d be nice to see a 30-min episode series for Star Darlings. It deserves it that much. Plus the music is always a plus and I’m a sucker for upbeat positive strong girl power music! Let’s hope the next season will be actual 30-min episodes and not just clips.
This aged like milk 😭😭😭😭
dream oon dream oonn dream onnn /ref
i wish that they put more episodes of star darlings bec its really nice to wach
Yea
its not wach its watch o yeah and yea i wish to be
Where can I watch this
Honestly I wish they made this a full length series instead of tiny clips
I would love to see more of them on earth and granting the wishes
Wow that was my favorite video
In the wiki they have not explained sage"s powers
Her powers and abilities are:
Positive wish energy manipulation: like all other starlings she can manipulate positive wish energy to do a variety of things.
Wish energy beam: she can project and shoot beams which are made up of very strong positive wish energy.
Telekinesis: she can manipulate positive wish energy to move things with her mind which is the most common power which starlings have.
Flight/Levitation: she can float or fly by manipulating wish energy in a certain way. she can also make other people fly by holding their hand as she demonstrated with cassie in rising starlings.
Mind reading:
Shield/barrier generation: she can concentrate positive wish energy to generate an impenetrable shield/barrier. she constantly used this power in the power of twelve to reflect and deflect attacks/beams from rancora. it seems this is her own unique power.
YES
Scarlett's voice makes everything better and more Disney-like.
Oh, this show, so many memories. . .

I don’t think it was based off of mlp and more of of zodiac signs
@@aelurial9474 Yeah, I know aaksdjf old comment. ;;
This is a mix between LoliRock, My Little Pony and kind of Winx Club all in one...amazing especially the cliffhanger at the end with the dark amulet disappearing
Kitty Cutetastic AND THEY ARENT MAKING ANYMORE EPISODES also I think the girls are based off of zodiacs and there won’t be sage + cassie or no more :( I love this show

I miss this series so much! I’m sad that it got cancelled. . .
her shields/barriers and forcefields are so strong why hasnt she used them before in the show.1:03 1:44 1:45 1:54 2:42 2:58
@Kimberly Salim lol
Because firstly, she haven’t gone to wishworld to accumulate enough wish energy, because she isnt a fully fledged and taught student about wish energy and power therefore they have a limit to their positive energy and can only rely on the positive energy stored within their wish pendent/accessory etc
This explains why she hasn’t been using it throughout the show because during that time they have only gone through SD training, not going to wishworld
This shows me that 1) you havent read all the books properly
2) you did not pay attention to when scarlet says “we do not have enough positive energy to battle her” which makes relevance to this limited wish energy power
3) they only get power at the end when discovering they can use their crystals
Here you go, you’re welcome
Don't mind me just revisiting my childhood
In the book Gemma and the ultimate standoff Rancora is defeated during Starshine Day I think it is during the battle of the bands all I remember the Star Darlings are performing onstage many of the students have witness the 12 fighting but they got their memories erased
Mom, can we have the clip where Nightmare Moon gets her existence yeeted?
No, we got that at home.

I FINALLY FOUND THIS SHOW AFTER YEARS OF NOT REMEMBERING IT😭😭
SAME IT BC I REMEMBERED SOME OF THE LYRICS FROM THE SONG
I gotta say, lady cordial being a shell was kinda creepy.
What i wish stardarlings was about:
I wish it focused more on scarlett, she really wants to tavel to earth, so how fun! The other star darlings are so bubbly espically Sage.
What else i wish is if Sage an cassie liked each other, Cassie has a crush on sage so thats would be fun
I wish the episodes were longer an had a story to them focusing on scarlett.
I'm starting to think that Sage and Scarlet are related and they got separated
2:31 raycora hunny is that a type of coral wth is wrong with your name and why is it actually cool
I so hate that this show is so short and caceled after all, cus i really like the character and the world they creat, it have a lot of potential :(
the villain just standing there while they heal and talk is killing me lol

I can't wait until we get the song they play at the end! I'm gonna be singing the same short parts of the lyrics until we do! 😂😂😂😄😄
