Brick Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Not a fan of anime really, but this does sound like a cool concept, and I guess those are noteworthy studios (the only big one I know of is Studio Ghibli) so these could be very cool stories.

Ghost_MH Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 This will be cool. Looks like they managed to grab some great talent to help out. It would be nice to see one of these studios tackle a full length series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Will these be considered canon stories? I would guess no, but maybe some will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentbob Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Just a heads up that the series started today and they are fucking amazing. Watched the first 4. . . high on Moby Dick and them lightsabers GLOW! Plus the music has been nothing but stellar. They better green light a 2nd season and I’m only half way done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greatoneshere Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 I mean, less anime and more global sounds good and bad, but if they want to go more Love, Death, Robots than "Japan-US specific Star Wars collaboration" that's fine. I'm just happy for a season 2, season 1 was excellent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar SFLUFAN Posted August 17, 2022 Author Share Posted August 17, 2022 Quote And so Visions volume two is sort of a global tour of some of the most interesting animation studios on a global level. We have studios from Africa, Chile, England, Ireland, France, India… and the guiding light there was that we wanted their storytelling to be a reflection of what Star Wars meant in their culture, but also a reflection of the myths and stories that could only come out of their cultural context." Now we're talkin'! Give me African/Indian mythology-infused Star Wars! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greatoneshere Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Season 1 was really good, I'll definitely be watching season 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentbob Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 Friendly reminder that these are out now. I’ve watched 7 of the 9 so far and fuck are they beautiful. I think 7 so far is my least favs but the first 5 are amazing (Cinderella 99 really makes them colours pop) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dualhunter Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 On the one hand it's nice to see different art styles but on the other, purposely making the framerate suck to imitate claymation sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentbob Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 I didn’t mind the claymation like animation on a couple of them. I enjoyed the different styles we got this year and all of them seem to work for me but the 7th. That animation style didn’t work for me as much, and it came off too kiddish for me at times. Sure we got kiddish ones but the story telling/animation worked. I would rate it a solid 9/10 myself and looks like a 3rd season is happening Star Wars: Visions Season 3 Is in Development at Disney+ WWW.COMINGSOON.NET Star Wars: Visions Season 3 is reportedly in the works at Lucasfilm and Disney+. The first two installments are now available for streaming. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skillzdadirecta Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 I went to start watching Season 2 last night and realized I never finished Season one So I have a whole bunch of Star Wars to get me through the weekend. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatoneshere Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 I finally got around to watching season 2 of this over the past week and it was fantastic! About on par with season 1, which seemed more space and action-heavy focused, whereas this season seemed more character and planet-heavy focused. I didn't mind the tradeoff and it was nice to see Star Wars go global with more African and South Asian influences. I'm definitely looking forward to a season 3. I'm surprised more on this board aren't watching this given this is probably the best film/TV content Star Wars has put out in a very long time, alongside Rebels, The Last Jedi, Rogue One and Andor. It's not canonical but people should still tune in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This series continues to be a fantastic representation of just how wonderfully creative and emotionally resonant the Star Wars universe can truly be when not artificially constrained by the shackles of canonicity. This season was definitely elevated over the first for me largely due to the variations in animation and global cultural influences. The South Asian-influenced episode (The Bandits of Golak) was especially eye-poppingly gorgeous, but each and every one of them is a visual delight to behold in their own right! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah this is what Star Wars should be, shackled to canonicity or no it doesn't need a "house" style for every project. Really hoping for a season 3 and that more people watch this stuff.
