Getting Animatrix flashbacks.
New trailer for Visions. Coming September 22nd. On another note, filming for Kenobi has wrapped up.
Visions turned out pretty cool. Not all of them hit the spot for me, but some of them really did work and I think their takes on the Star Wars mythos is almost better than some of the mainline stuff. The Ninth Jedi's handling of the lightsaber for example just really worked for me.
I'm rather surprised that many of them ended on an open note, I'm somewhat hoping we'll get another season to continue some of these storylines. Some of them feel like they could make for good mini series of their own.
I feel like I really got the most joy out of them when I stopped trying to imagine them as part of the greater Star Wars Universe and more like Final Fantasy instalments where a similar lore and mythology exists but it's all it's own thing. So while there are a Republic, an Empire, Sith, Jedi and so on, I felt it worked best when they were seen as their own things that are similar and represent the same concept but aren't exactly the same.
The Japanese steampunk aesthetic mixed with Star Wars-isms really worked for me. I guess it's not too surprising seeing Star Wars does take inspiration from Japanese culture.
One thing that did disappoint me was that they didn't really use this opportunity to examine the world from outside the Jedi focus. But I can't really blame the studios for making Jedi narratives. If I were allowed to craft my own story in the SW universe, I'd probably also choose to follow a force sensitive character.

I like how this tribe also knows about the force, but they call it a different name. To them it’s called Magina. They even have a different “force be with you” saying.
It gives me Jedi fallen order game vibes. Where Zeffo are force users, but have a different name for it than the Jedi do. To them it’s the “life wind” or something.
It’s an episode that shows another example of the “force” existing outside of the Jedi.
That's something i also really liked. Rebels brushed upon it too once, but it was kind of nice, seeing how it was integrated into their culture.Just finished the 4th episode village bride:

I hope it's true. While not all episodes were my cup of tea, I did like seeing the different takes on the world and mythos. Hopefully with this being season 2 we might get other aspects of the universe other than Jedi and Sith.RUMOR: Season 2 of Star Wars Visions to release this fall.
Oh dang I need to read Ronin before then lolRUMOR: Season 2 of Star Wars Visions to release this fall.
