Star Wars Visions Volume 2 Review

 

Star Wars fans i'm currently writing this review on May 4th and to celebrate this day Disney have decided to release quite a few Star Wars content ranging from animated films to full fledged animated series. With one of those series being one that I was highly looking forward to and so then join me as I review the second season of the show that ditches the anime theming of it's first season for a world wide theming with the show in question being called simply just "Star Wars Visions" enjoy.

As with the first season this season of the show doesn't have a plot with each short film having it's own plot. Now then interms of what i personally thought / felt about the actual plots that are actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plots that are actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes were really good with episode two of this show having the best plot of this whole entire season in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this show is Úrsula Corberó as Lola , Luis Tosar as The Sith Master and Eva Whittaker as Daal. Also starring in this show is Alex Connolly as Baython , Noah Rafferty as Quinn , Molly McCann as Keena , The Addams Family star Anjelica Huston as Sith Mother , Niamh Moyles as Ghost , Valentina Muhr as Koten , Julia Oviedo as Tichina , Maxine Peake as Kalina Kalfus , Charithra Chandran as Annisoukaline Kalfus , Daisy Haggard as Dorota Van Reeple , Bebe Cave as Julan Van Reeple , Denis Lawson as Wedge Antilles , Ashley Park as Ara and Young Ara , Eugene Lee Yang as Toul , Daniel Dae Kim as Bichan , Camille Cottin as Loi’e , Lambert Wilson as Jon , Kaycie Chase as Hétis , Uraj Sharma as Charuk , Sonal Kaushal as Rani , Neeraj Kabi as An Inquisitor , Lillete Dubey as Rugal , Sahil Vaid as Maghadi and A Scavenger , Daveed Diggs as Crux , Anika Noni Rose as Eureka and Mother , Jordyn Curet as Livy , Mpilo Jantjie as Aau , Tumisho Masha as Abat , Cynthia Erivo as Kratu and Faith Baloyi as Attu.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty really good. With all of the cast members for this season turning in some really good performances be they funny or just straight up dramatic each and every actors and actress that's starring in this season really did bring there A game acting wise.

Doing the animation for these episodes are El Guiri , Cartoon Saloon , Punkrobot , Aardman , Studio Mir , Studio La Cachette , 88 Pictures , D'Art Shtajio and Lucasfilm and Triggerfish. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in these episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in these episodes was in all honesty really good with all of the episodes animation that showcases why each studio was chosen and showcases alot of why and how these studios produce some really good animation in each of their outings.

This isn't really a spoiler but it's something that as a fan of Aardman that I really loved but in their episodes there's an easter egg relating to A Grand Day Out. Which I was not expecting but at the same time when I saw it I rewound the scene that it appears in just because it was so cool to see them reference something that alot of people might have forgotten about and it makes me wonder if there are more hidden easter eggs in their other films and TV shows as well just because it seems so out of place to include one in this short film and nothing else.

I will very much admit that unlike the first series batch of episodes the episodes in this series were for the most part very lackluster. With their being not that many strong or even memorable episodes this time around but when you compare that with the first series that had alot of memorable and strong episodes it makes me wonder why are the episodes in this series just not as good as the ideas that alot of this series shorts gives us are alot stronger then the ones in the first series but for some reason the episodes as a whole are better in the first series then they are in this series.

While alot of this seasons episodes are strikingly beautiful to look at alot of them are either a story about or involving a jedi or about or involving the sith. Which does get boring after a while as those stories all end with either that sith being defeated or that jedi recruiting someone new to join the jedi order and that's just not that interesting as to me the most interesting and the most fun stories to see in this show as a whole are the ones that dare to try and do something new and focus on people who perhaps wouldn't be given any screen time anywhere else.

Now then the longest episode of this season is episode five which has / had an grand total running time of exactly eighteen minuets and one second with the shortest episode of this season being episode four which has / had a grand total running time of exactly eleven minuets and thirty two seconds. With all of this seasons episodes not lasting over twenty minuets but I will admit that when you run into an episode that could have been longer you really do feel just like you do when you run into an episode that could have been shorter but I will admit that alot of these episode really do have some really good pacing to them tho.

So now then since this is an action show that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty really cool. With this shows action being almost on par with the action that we get in the live action Star Wars movies with episode five having the best action just due to how well built up it's action is in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall while this isn't a bad season of the show it's quite clearly not as good as this shows first season was this is despite having alot of really good looking episodes and some interesting plots as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very show in this very review and as such that means that this very season earns itself a really grand old score of exactly a 7.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Star Wars fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful the official Star Wars fandom wiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on the official Star Wars fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Star Wars Visions Review

 

Anime and Star Wars fans when I did my review of the very first episode of Star Wars Visions my intention was to very quickly follow that review up with a review of the entire series of Star Wars Visions. However I got sidetracked and so I didn't really get around to reviewing the entre series as quickly as I had originally wanted to do however i'm getting around to it right now and so join me as I give you my review of the TV show that introduced anime to the world of Star Wars with the TV show in question being called simply just "Star Wars Visions" enjoy.

Now then there actually isn't a main plot for this show since every single episode of this show tells a different story with a much more different set of characters. This is in all honesty a rather interesting take to take with the Star Wars franchise since it means that we get to explore the Star Wars galaxy in a way that's never been done before and this is in all honesty a rather fun way to explore the Star Wars galaxy in my opinion anyways / at least.

Starring in this show is Jaden Waldman as T0-B1 and as The Child Village Chief and Kyle Chandler as Mitaka. Also starring in this show is Brian Tee as Ronin , Lucy Liu as Bandit Leader , Stephanie Sheh as Saku and as Villager B , Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Jay , Bobby Moynihan as Geezer , Marc Thompson as Lan and Additional Voices , Shelby Young as K-344 and Child , Temuera Morrison as Boba Fett , Jonathan Lipow as B-2ON and Additional Voices , Neil Patrick Harris as Karre , Alison Brie as Am , Karen Fukuhara as F , Nichole Sakura as Haru , Kimiko Glenn as Lah Kara , Simu Liu as Lah Zhima , Andrew Kishino as Margrave Juro and as A Steward Droid , Masi Oka as Ethan , Jordan Fisher as Dan G'vash , David Harbour as Tajin Crosser , Anna Cathcart as Lop , Hiromi Dames as Ochō , Henry Golding as Tsubaki , Jamie Chung as Misa and rather oddly enough we also have freaking Star Trek legend George Takei as Senshu.

Now then in terms of what I personally thought / felt about the acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show in all honesty I in all honesty thought / felt that the acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was shockingly really freaking good. I say shockingly because for alot of these actors this was there first time doing voice acting and so the acting that's in this show on paper shouldn't have been as good as it was in my opinion anyways / at least.

Doing the animation for this show is Kamikaze Douga , Studio Colorido , Trigger , Kinema Citrus , Production IG , Science SARU and Geno Studio. Now then in terms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's featured / presented to us in this very show and in all honesty I in all honesty thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this actual show is really freaking yes there are some episodes that don't have that good animation but those episodes are in the minority and are not the majority of the episodes in my freaking opinion anyways / at least.

Now then this is something that I noticed quite early on in this series but from what I can tell almost every single episode of this show takes on a different sub genre of anime and Japanese media. With the very first episode of this very show being a samurai film and the second taking on what can only be descried as an idol anime show but in space and so on and so fourth / on and I have to say that I found it really interesting that the Japanese creators chose to take this approach with these episodes since it made the episodes all the more fun and entertaining trying to see and trying to work what form of anime sub genre that that particular episode was going to be based on / around in my freaking opinion anyways / at least.

Now then yes there are some episodes that are in this very show that are alot better then others like for example the worst episode for me at least was "The Village Bride" just because it wasn't that interesting of an episode for me personally. However tho with that being said there are alot of episodes that are in this very show which are in a word phenomenal like for example "The Duel" and "The Twins" to name but a few and so having at the very least one bad story in a sea of good stories is only a very good thing in my opinion anyways / at least. 

Now then what I really liked about this show is the fact that it showed that anybody can fall to the dark side of the force no matter how pure and how innocent there motive is. Which was something that I found to be rather interesting because it harkened back to Star Wars: Episode III Revenge Of The Sith which showed us a very similar idea only here we get to see it done to people who aren't always jedi which makes / made that idea all the more interesting and intriguing to / for me personally in my opinion anyways / at least.

Now then there are nine episodes in this series with no episode lasting longer then twenty two minuets which means that in total there should be at the very least a two hour and thirty minuet running time for all of the episodes combined but i'm not exactly sure on / about that tho so don't hold me to that. How tho I will say that this series really could have done with a few more episodes simply just because I was having a such a great time watching this show and that just goes to show you how good of a show that this very TV show actually even freaking is in my opinion anyways / at least.

Now then this show is being listed as an action show up and on IMDB which means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's featured / presented to us in this show and well in all honesty I in all honesty think / fell that the actual action that's featured / presented to us in this very show is OK best. This isn't true for all of the episodes just the overall vast majority of this show episodes which is a shame because when this show does have a action sequence / set piece it really is something to well and truly behold in my opinion anyways / at least.

Overall this show was alot better then what I thought that it was going to be since everything that's Star Wars these days will nine times out of ten be pretty freaking bad but luckily tho this show was one of the very freaking few Disney Star Wars products that was actually pretty freaking good in my opinion anyways / at least. Now i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very show in this very review and that means that this show earns itself / gets a grand old score of exactly a 9.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Star Wars fandom wiki page and from the official Disney fandom wiki page. With my personally favourite website to use to get images from this arc being the official Star Wars fandom wiki page this is simply because the official Star Wars fandom wiki page actually has alot of images from this episode and plus all of the of the images that are currently up and featured and on the official Star Wars fandom wiki page are all fairly freaking high in freaking quality and as well as being fairly high definition.
