StarWars: Visions Volume 2 delivers another thrillingly original, visually vibrant batch of galactic adventures.
Star Wars: Visions Volume 2 Score Details “With its second batch of shorts, Star Wars: Visions has cemented its place as one of the most exciting and refreshing titles that Lucasfilm has right now.” Pros Cons When Disney originally acquired Lucasfilm back in 2012, few could have predicted that one of the studio’s most exciting projects would turn out to be an anthology series of animated shorts, but such is the charm of Star Wars: Visions.
As was the case with the show’s first batch of shorts, there isn’t a plot description to give for Star Wars: Visions Volume 2. Its episodes all tell self-contained stories that have little-to-nothing to do with each other outside of their shared, galactic setting. However, unlike the series’ first nine episodes, which were created by seven animation studios based solely in Japan, Star Wars: Visions Volume 2 features work from artists from all around the world.
The greater diversity of its Volume 2 artists ensures that all of Star Wars: Visions’ latest shorts look, sound, and feel distinct from each other. One standout installment, titled Aau’s Song, comes from the Cape Town, South Africa-based Triggerfish Animation Studios, and it visually and narratively embraces a level of gentleness that feels like a genuine first for the Star Wars franchise.
Its weaker episodes aside, though, Star Wars: Visions’ second season is, for all intents and purposes, a smashing success. The wider array of international artists behind Volume 2 allows it to feature stories that pay direct homage to cultures that have never been integrated into the Star Wars universe before.
