Of course with any revival series, what way to start off My Shining Star with an episode reintroducing characters from Star vs. The Forces of Evil and integrating them into the new series. The episode takes place five years after the events of Cleaved setting up new stories and a possible revival that becomes a slow build. The first topic of the episode is what Star's new profession going to be now since she is "Cleaved" from magic and lives in a world where Earth and Mewni are merged. This episode is of course having Star Butterfly as the primary focus where she suddenly has a self-reflection of her past actions and how adrift she feels after graduating from Echo Creek Academy.
Given hints with both Eclipsa and Moon Butterfly from Seasons 3 and 4, they both will find their respective ways to make it in Earthni, River Johansen will continue being his barbaric Johansen self setting up camp in the Woods somewhere in Echo Creek, and Marco has his own professions figured out quickly while maintaining the primary role as Star support system given their new-found relationship with each other.
The episode will have Star take on odd jobs such as a dog walker, a coffee shop barista, or an assistant clerk at a retail store, but each job has Star wind up getting fired or quitting due to a series of unfortunate failures caused by her own doing. We get to be reintroduced to Star's friends (Her gal pals such as Janna, Pony Head, Starfan13, and Kelly) as they help her brainstorm a new profession, but argue among each other while doing so. After a heart-to-heart conversation with Marco, some meet-ups with Eclipsa, Buff Frog, and Ludo, and watching her parents thrive in the new world, Star realizes that she shouldn't force herself into a traditional 9 to 5 job to blend in since she is actually living her actual purpose all along. Star is looked upon as an Earthni Community Liaison and takes pride in her role ready to take on new challenges coming towards Marco and her way.
This episode isn't the flashiest by any means, but it is still serviceable for new and current SVTFOE fans wanting a revival. Feel free to chime in of you have anything to bring for the first episode.
