![]() ![]() This was all about hope and finding the light in the dark. “The Pit” focuses on a young prisoner, Crux, who is forced to dig for kyber by the Empire and plans an escape for his people when they are abandoned. This time we see our main characters looking to the memory of their mother’s strength and with that, they can beat the Empire together. Usually, when we see characters looking to the dead for help in Star Wars it’s through the force. Koten and Tichina are both force-wielders like their mother, and I liked that the force had nothing to do with their mother still being with them in their eyes. The stars also kept the paintings alive, keeping the memory alive of those who have passed. This episode felt very focused on one of my favorite Star Wars lines, “No one’s ever really gone.” Koten and Tichina’s people believed that after you die you become a star that watches over you. Koten and Tichina in “In the Stars” (Disney+) I love the claymation style, the characters, and scenery were beautifully detailed. The animation in this one was my favorite out of the three episodes. They continue to fight for their survival until they are discovered by Imperial forces. “In the Stars” is about two sisters, Koten and Tichina, who are the last of their kind since the Empire took over their homeworld. “In the Stars” – Punkrobot Studios from Chile I loved the horror aspect that Cartoon Saloon has brought to Star Wars with this short and would love to see more projects like this. In Irish and Celtic folklore, a Banshee is a supernatural being whose wailing scream at night was believed to foretell the death of a family member of the person who heard it. I love that this story was based on Irish folklore with the Screecher being a Banshee. Usually, the shorts are enough for me but I would love to see a part two to this one. After she defeated the Screecher and the Sith showed up to take her away, it started glowing red indicating that it was a beacon the Sith used. I was not expecting this 15-minute short to have a Sith plot twist, but I loved it!ĭaal’s necklace was a focal point throughout this episode, something I found myself very curious about. ![]() I thought Daal and her friends would find something in the cave and end up running away together. I thought this episode was going to just be about found family like many Star Wars stories. Daal and the Screecher in “Screecher’s Reach” (Disney+) The themes of the dark side and the light side are beautifully drawn in this episode and add to Daal’s struggle with wanting more in her life. The animation in “Screecher’s Reach” is a 2D style with beautiful watercolor-like scenery. “Screecher’s Reech” is about a young girl, Daal, and her friends who work in a factory venturing out to a legendary cave with a dark pull. “Screecher’s Reach” – Cartoon Saloon from Ireland Here are my thoughts on “Screecher’s Reach”, “In the Stars”, and “The Pit” from Volume 2. Be sure to check out Vin’s reviews for “The Spy Dancer”, “The Bandits of Golak”, and “Aau’s Song”, and Wiktor Reinfuss’ reviews for “Sith”, “I Am Your Mother”, and “Journey to Dark Head”. With there being so many animation styles and stories this season we have split up reviews into three parts. It makes you realize the galaxy, and our own world is a beautiful and rich place. It’s beautiful to watch different countries include their cultures in Star Wars. I hope they continue to include more for next season. I love that Lucasfilm decided to reach out to more studios for season 2. Star Wars: Visions Volume 2 has brought us more Star Wars stories from around the world.
