There’s something so visceral and unsettling about seeing how the dancer’s lost son was forced into literally maiming himself to erase any “other-ness”

this season of visions was so good. at least half the eps made me cry and i’m just so in awe of the animation. just absolutely mesmerized by it. and the stories, wow wow. a lot of them had some really dark themes, but the HOPE that was present too. that’s what it’s all about!

#i really enjoyed s1 of visions but i really really latched onto these stories a lot in s2 #i’d have to think about my ranking #but immediate standouts for me are #screecher’s reach / aau’s song / bandits of golak / in the stars #but i really did. love them all! #i feel bad leaving the others out lol #sw visions #sw visions spoilers #star wars

SW Visions S2E7-9

On the whole I liked these too. They really varied from ep to ep IMO.

Ep 7 felt very similar to an earlier one (nr3?) and I think I preferred that one. Enough was different that maybe I shouldn't feel that way, but like the earlier ep, it also felt pretty slow until a final (slow-mo) action scene kicked things into gear. It did feel very SW and stayed true to the 'teachings' I guess.

Ep 8 started off really well. It was pretty dark, but definitely something the Empire would do. The ending felt a bit... too sweet and happy, in contrast.

Ep 9 (Aau's Song) was amazing. Absolutely my favorite. Visually it managed to be adorable and beautiful at once, the actual songs (including the song over the credits) were suitably ethereal, and it had some interesting Force abilities. This felt very SW, like it could be canon but doesn't have to be. Definitely the best one all-round IMO

I think I liked S2 as a whole a lot more than S1? Possibly because I spread them out more, possibly because I knew beter what to expect this time.

I have to ask though: why does every other lightsaber-wielding character have a fancy lightsaber? Light staff, or 2 sabers, or a fancy color, or even a combo?! When did a single lightsaber stop being cool?

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.

Still thinking about Screecher’s Reach, actually. How the red never left Daal’s cheeks from likely years of being exposed to the steam. How Baython’s eyes were heavy and tired, how he kept up a smile for Quinn and Keena. How the ghost’s scream sounded like a TIE fighter when they were sitting around the campfire. How the actual ghost was a blind sith woman using the force to sense intruders in the dark. How Daal’s first use of the force was to reach for the light, only to then crush and kill what she didn’t understand moments later. How the Sith’s ship looked like an angel’s wings descending. How the Sith guided her into the light of the ship like a lure, and we watched in horror as it swallowed Daal whole. Just, man. I love it when star wars is good.

You know people complain a lot about there being "too much Star Wars content these days" and it's entirely another conversation about how this is Not At All A New Thing but besides that... you know you don't need to engage with it, right? If you don't like what a new show or series or comic is doing, you don't need to interact. You can stop watching a show. You can ignore what that book is doing. You can create your experience and if you're not having fun, you can always turn it off

#on another note: different things are for different audiences. visions is for a different audience than andor is for a different audience th #not all of it's for you #the amount of people i've seen go “UGH why are they even MAKING ahsoka” #like. you don't have to watch!!! #of course it's fine to critique a change you don't like #but if you're not having fun it's totally ok to stop watching #but i feel like fan culture makes you feel like you HAVE to be up to date and keyed in #i haven't actually watched much of any of the shows (tcw included) LMAO #so if anything i'm proof you can just chill in your corner #anyways #personal #star wars #star wars ahsoka #ahsoka series #ahsoka spoilers #ahsoka show #star wars fandom #fandom critical #star wars fandom critical #sw #sw fandom #fandom: star wars #type: meta

i really liked “i am your mother” :) like it’s about the mother-daughter relationship but also a little bit about her embarrassment about coming from a lower class family.... it’s a simple story but there’s also an extra layer underneath to think about too!

SW Visions S2E4-6

These were even better! Maybe not as visually striking, but still pretty and the stories were more fun. They all could have totally fit in canon as well? With maybe a few changes, of course.

I really enjoyed that the ones by the British and French studios (4 & 6) were *so* British and French in theme and look and feel. I hope that's true for all the other shorts as well.

Ep 5 really felt very SW, when they went to the Council I half expected to see familiar characters. Glad the whole thing about Light and Dark didn't turn into a Grey/balance/everyone's both thing, but an ebb and flow, a cycle. That's what we've seen in the saga, so that was cool.
