Star Wars Visions: Volume 2 - Review
Tumblr media
I am one with the 4th and the 4th is with me, and it's time for Star Wars to return into the experimental animation department for Visions' second season.
I had high opinions of the first season, so the second had a high standard to live up to. But this is what I thought about it
Spoilers for Visions: Volume 2. Watch it first if you don't want to be told major plot points and what my opinion on it is
And again I was left impressed and satisfied. Very glad to see Visions hit a home run once again because there is a lot of meat to bite into of a similar and different variety to the previous season.
As we have for the review of last season we'll start with the negatives to get them out of the way.
What Wasn't Great
No existing story is picked up A small gripe would be that after the great episodes of the first season it was an overall shame that none got a continuation, despite their potential for greater mileage. It's not entirely a bad thing, but it's a shame nonetheless.
The runtime still lacks Before we were looking at 20 minute episodes, but it seems volume 2 has ran down to episodes as short as 10-15 minutes. Which for a fan never feels long enough. While nobody's asking for padding, some episodes could've benefited from a bit more time to flesh out their action or emotional scenes.
Dumb Hopeful Child is Dumb (Twice) Once is passable but twice is worth noting, but the 'In the Stars' and 'Bandits of Golak' storyline both seemed to use the same idea of a force sensitive child's ignorance to how much the empire would hammer down on them, leading to the older sibling to step in. Rani and Tichina may have endearing qualities, but given what the episode tells about their past bereavement at the hands of the empire you'd think them to be at least a little more apprehensive towards using the Force in front of the Empire.
'This Path is only meant for you' (Thrice!) While one side is Jedi x2 and another Sith, there's also a similarity in conclusion in 'Screecher's Reach', 'Aau's Song' and again 'Bandits of Golak' with the young force sensitive having to leave their companions in order to complete training with their master - who in the former and latter is adamant to only take the one child - in search of a better life. In comparison, Daal's tragic story which sees her forced to kill to fall into the dark was more compelling than Rani's previously mentioned naivete stumbling into it, but Aau's tale achieves the opposite side of being hopeful as a counter to Daal's which I'll get more into. But again since Visions is meant to be fresh stories from appraised animation studios, it's a shame that you see duplication: it wouldn't have been too difficult really to tell each other what your story is so there's no overlap.
The Pit's main conflict is easily fixable While 'The Pit' acts well as a well-animated story with a dark turn midway, the whole problem of them being stuck in a hole they have dug felt like it could have been resolved a numeral amount of ways other than 'one will climb out into the imperial controlled city to tell people how the imperial has built this city on prison labor' or just 'chanting in unison so they can hear', I mean they could just build steps out of the bedrock, or just climb out the way Crux did. I also think that the story didn't want to go super dark with the troopers opening fire on the civilians, even though they were okay abandoning people in a pit to die. I dunno it felt rather unambitious at times, taking stories of other media (The Dark Knight Rises) and putting it into Star Wars.
What Was Great
An immediate feast for the eyes Immediately from the episode 'Sith', we are presented with a fresh and stylish level of animation; from the sketchbook-esque world, the flat brush strokes to the classic claymation, everyone's unique take on how the Star Wars world looks offers a new and intriguing perspective. The action is dynamic and fluid too, not to mention the character design for most are unique and themed to their environment.
Aardman understood the assignment At face value 'I Am Your Mother' felt like it'd be little more than a silly story. But its unique charm, blatant references, typical anime antagonist behaviour and its relatable storyline managed to pull off a lighthearted but fun ride.
Journey to the Dark Head! My favourite for this volume has to be the fifth episode, Studio Mir's 'Journey to the Dark Head', I mean fuck yes! A story of multiple plot threads, character development, and stakes, paired with japanese-esque settings, anime visuals and an unnerving villain, not to mention the core theme of balance rather than just light and dark. It's much of what I expect from this series and much like my last favourite 'The Ninth Jedi' it leaves me desiring more.
But also, The Spy Dancer! Second only to this would be the mesmerising Spy Dancer by Studio La Cachette that came right after it. What could've simply been an episode of manipulation underlined by a stunning performance immediately got turned on its head when the imperial ended up being Loi'e's kidnapped and indoctrinated son! Providing a new layer of complexity to the entire second half. A story which could've ended in brutal tragedy was instead given a merciful and hopeful open end. I can't exactly tell you the reasons why it doesn't beat Journey to the Dark Head, it could even be because I saw it first, but these are two stories that go higher and harder than the others in the volume in the similar bar as Ninth Jedi, Village Bride, Lop & Ocho and The Ronin.
Slight Familiarity Although it is unique content, you can see many influences in the episodes from other Star Wars Legends; a Malak-like sith, Gennedy's Clone Wars aesthetic, even an actual Wedge Antilles appearance, the familiarity does usher an easier immersion into the story.
It didn't end on a bummer like last time One of my biggest critiques of season 1 was that the season ended on a sore and bitter note with 'Akakiri', but this season seemed to remedy that with the ethereal-like story of Triggerfish's 'Aau's Song'. Immediately drawn in on premise, Aau achieves where Rani and Tichina struggled in being curious but aware, and also using her powers when necessary rather than forcing another to step in. While Aau also leaves her companions behind, her choice appears a lot more soft than Daal and Rani's 'leave or continue to suffer in this poor existence', and her departure feels more hopeful than bittersweet.
Definitely more stories to expand upon While we didn't pick up anything from Season 1 (yet), Season 2 has offered even more great story paths to look into; I do feel like each episode provided enough to be explored further and most would be captivating enough to be commissioned into full series if given the chance.
Conclusion
It was another good showing from Visions to show the newer and creative avenues the Star Wars universe can take under the helm of various animation styles and creative minds. With episodes tailored to different audiences too, there is a widespread appeal. If I were to rank them from best to worst in my opinion it would be:
Journey to the Dark Head, The Spy Dancer, The Sith, I Am Your Mother, Aau's Song, In the Stars, Screecher's Reach, The Pit, The Bandits of Golak
I'd say Bandits is probably the one I liked the least because In the Stars and Screecher's Reach/Aau's Song had the same plot elements done better, in spite of its unique arabic culture aesthetic and inquisitor villain. The Pit's lack of ambition also harmed it, but the rest were all very strong stories. It's actually a very good sign how much I had to toil between where to rank the third to fifth spots, with Aau's Song and I Am Your Mother surprising me on their quality, Screecher's Reach is great too with its tragedy but I do like positive stories over 'trauma be upon thee'. But yeah I think I'll gush a long time over Dark Head and Spy Dancer, that's some premium gourmet star wars there.
Bring on a Volume 3.

Star Wars Visions S2E01 - “Sith” (El Guiri Studios) dir. Rodrigo Blaas

Victor, fuente de sabiduría de ot de confianza, necesito que me aclares cosas. 1) lo de alex y denna está confirmado? 2) cómo que se rumorea que salma está con una bailarina? Por que? 3) se sabe que pasó con las albalia? alguna vez (post ot) llegaron a confirmar si estuvieron juntas? o porqué ya no se llevan?
DIOS ANON SE VIENE INFODUMP LO SIENTO MUCHÍSIMO NO SABES LO QUE ACABAS DE HACER
1) no sé si está al 100% pero en la academia tonteaban muchísimo, la que ahora es la ex de alex subió historias de estas de despechá y desde que salieron están literalmente TODO EL RATO juntos, en plan creo que todavía no les he visto separados más que en las firmas, es exagerado.
2) de esto tengo capturas espera sjdjsd pero básicamente a salma le molaba una bailarina (leire) cuando estaba en la academia y desde que salió salma y ella tontean mucho por twitter (y en comentarios de ig también creo)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
3) VALE A VER TODO ESTO SON TEORÍAS pero hasta dónde yo sé. O nunca estuvieron juntas o estuvieron / casi estuvieron más o menos en Fallas 2019 porque siempre estaban juntas, compartían las mismas canciones en stories tipo indirectas, etc. Pero de nuevo, a lo mejor simplememnte eran amigas y ya la verdad (lo gracioso es que lo que sí se ha confirmado que existió fue Miki y Natalia lo que es bastante xd). Es posible que Natalia haya dicho en algún sitio que no estuvieron ellas juntas pero no estoy muy seguro, hace mucho que no estoy en el fandom sinceramente. Lo que sí que se cree y esta es una teoría bastante bastante sólida es que se separaron por una combinación de 1) las albalias desquiciadas que les acosaban muchísimo (no sé si te enteraste que a alba le hackearon el móvil y tal) y 2) el putísimo pol granch. natalia comenzó a salir con él al mismo tiempo en el que alba y ella dejaron de aparecer juntas. posiblemente o estaban ellas juntas y nat pusiera los cuernos con pol, o eran amigas y natalia eligió de alguna manera a pol antes que alba, o yo que sé, ahí ya la imaginación. la cosa es que natalia y pol terminaron terrible, al parecer pol le hizo mil putadas y es un gilipollas (si no la conoces no me querías tanto va por él, temazo increible) y poco después alba y natalia hicieron un concierto juntas en un festival pero luego nada más. así que no sé. yo quiero pensar que son amigas pero procuran que no se sepa por redes sociales por si las albalias vuelven a enloquecer pero si te soy honesto tampoco lo tengo muy seguro por desgracia :(. en mi cabeza también nuestro nombre va por alba, pero eso es solo una teoría mía no hay pruebas ni na, solo cuadra por el timing de cuando lo sacó y tal (y lo de 'nuestro nombre' que puede referirse al nombre del shippeo y tal). y bueno por parte de alba cómo olvidar su cover de morena mía CON ESA PORTADA y bueno también es teoría mía que aura va sobre ellas dos porque me parecería súper bonito la verdad yo elijo creer <3

Star Wars Visions Season 2 Confirmed
Tumblr media
Once again Anime is coming to enrich the Star Wars universe again. This time we have a much redder aesthetic, which makes me wonder if the stories will be more Dark Side-oriented (though we had a mix of it last season with The Duel, The Twins and Akakiri being more dark side-focused) the episode names seem to suggest it too.
The most interesting company to have their hand at it are the claymation gods Aardman, responsible for Wallace & Gromit, Morph and Chicken Run. But do not underestimate Cartoon Saloon's potential, the studio that gave us Wolf Walkers have the caliber especially in the sci-fi wonder of Star Wars. Same can be said for Studio Mir (Legend of Korra & Voltron) and Studio La Cachette (Primal, LD&R's Sucker of Souls).
Wonder what we'll get from the next 9, though I'm not expecting continuation from the last nine.

the spanish left when the far right has a rise in popularity after they've spent the last few years playing stupid identity politics games, sucking up to the us, embarrassing themselves in international relationships, passing badly redacted and shitty laws in the name of feminism that only ended up screwing up women and victims of sexual assault, while doing absolutely nothing to stop the rise of costs of living and help working class people and families
Tumblr media
#oh my god who could've predicted this!#right wing parties are all united meanwhile the ''''left'''' do nothing but infight and start a billion different political parties#so meanwhile the right have all their votes concentrated on mostly two parties#the left has it all dispersed in a dozen parties#working class: help im drowning in debt i can't afford to pay rent my kids are starving im about to get kicked out of my house#la gilipollas de irene montero: vote for my buddy!!!!! bc shes a deaf lesbian 🤪#the general elections are gonna be funnnnn#I thought vox was gonna have waaay more votes tbh considering the political climate#forgot conservatives usually play it safe and mostly just vote pp#i was kinda expecting them to pull a 2016 podemos but usually the left is way more risky with the way they vote#talking about podemos....... lmfao#they're in the absolute mud#con las leys de mierda que pasaron los dos últimos años y la campaña con los eventos drag que hicieron es lo que se merecen la verdad#no puedes ir con esa mierda de discurso viendo tal y como están las cosas en españa y esperar no llevarte la hostia descomunal#tienes a medio país en la ruina viviendo en zulos y con los precios de todo por las nubes#cagon dios aprovecha y haz campaña en torno a eso y déjate de las gilipolleces de los guiris#qué cojones le importa al votante medio las políticas de identidades si lo que les preocupa es que no llegan a fin de mes#es que uf#luego a llorar porque los imbéciles de vox se llevan todos los votos de las zonas rurales y la clase obrera#que a ellos les importa 2 cojones los trabajadores y las familias obreras pero al menos saben qué hacer para ganarse el voto
