Star Wars Visions - Tumblr Posts
I have no idea of what this song is about, I'm not even aware of Star Wars: Visions (shame on me!) and why it looks like like anime, but I'm completely impressed by this ethereal melody and the gentle voice. Now eager to watch this episode at least as I'm soooo inspired not only by the song but also by landscapes and short scene shown in the clip. Want to have it here.
Star Wars: Visions is actually an anime. It's made by actual anime studios in Japan.
Thank you!:) It seems reasonable and cool, especially considering the fact that Star Wars saga was initially inspired by Japanese cinema and Japanese culture as well.

CW: abuse
To me, the Sith have always been about power, about manipulation, about abuse. They offer false hope as a lure to ensnare people when they are at their most vulnerable. They offer you what you think you need while gutting your support system, isolating you from those who could pull you back above water. Before you know it, the decisions you say you are making are no longer your own. And so, the visually brightest scene of the episode becomes its darkest moment thematically.
I am amazed that Star Wars continues to tell meaningful, complex stories about survivors, those who are able to liberate themselves from the confines of interpersonal and systemic abuse, as well as those who are unable to break free… yet.
This is why hope is so fundamentally important, not just in Star Wars or in storytelling, but in the real lives we lead. There is always, ALWAYS hope.
And may the Force be with you.
I couldn't figure out how to put it in to words last night when I was summarizing my thoughts on Visions S2, but I think "Screecher's Reach" does a really good job with the concept of the Sith/dark side as corruption, in how it takes familiar, positive elements we've seen in other Star Wars stories, and twists them. Everything is recognizable on the surface, but just...off. Unsettling in a way that isn't obvious at first.
For example, the repetition of a mantra. We've seen this before, but usually with something that invokes the Force. An appeal to strength and courage seems positive enough (and in another franchise might very well be), but it definitely seemed odd, not Star Wars-y...until it took a dark turn when the protagonist describes herself as "strong" in reference to her taking a life, and the appearance of a Sith. It made complete sense then.
Another example, the test in a dark side cave. We've seen this before, as a way for Jedi to face themselves and confront their fears. And the narrative seems to travel this route, until it's revealed that the test was not to face herself, but another being - and kill them. Luke fails a Jedi's test by bringing his weapon and fear and anger with him, and sees his own face when he kills the illusionary Vader. This short turns that on its head, with our protagonist passing a Sith's test by taking up a weapon already inside. She sees nothing (that's shown to us) when she kills the real, living Sith. She doesn't face her dark reflection, but it is her reflection since she goes with the Sith in the end.
And of course, the mentor and leaving your old life behind - usually positive in this franchise. But here, while it has all the same trappings of the more positive or bittersweet departures (even echoing Shmi's "don't look back"), the audience knows that the Sith doesn't have any good intentions here, and that nothing but misery waits for the protagonist, not the better life she's expecting.
every single star wars visions short in BOTH seasons is either "imperialism is bad" or "here is my sith lord OC" and that's exactly what star wars is about which is why star wars visions is the best star war

Star Wars: Visions | 2.01: Sith
I may be getting emotional over hair of all things…
From Padawans who cut off the braid to hide…
… to Padawans who cut it off because they’re done hiding.
. . .
(I love that when Kanan was ready to fully embrace his identity as Caleb Dume in Rebels, he shaved and cut his hair again so he would look like he used to as a child - because he was reuniting with his past as a Jedi within the Order, to the point that he died the way his Master did, saving his loved ones by making them run and sacrificing himself…
… And when F is ready to fully embrace her identity as a Jedi, she cuts off her braid because she is not a Padawan any longer, she is a Jedi, and she can and will be a Jedi even without the guidance of a Master.)
