Star Wars: Visions

This is nothing but a bunch of silly 100% cliche and dull childish stories in the star wars SHELL and the creators trying to be all artsy and imaginative. But they do not have neither the talent nor the experience for it. Bland and boring, all look no substance, especially no Star Wars substance except to justify the name a bit.

The bad episodes are really bad but the good ones are absolutely incredible qnd imo it makes up for the bad.

A few episodes absolutely blew me away the ninth Jedi is absolutely A tier Star Wars entertainment unfortunately there are as many bad episodes as there are good twins being the worst of the worst it felt like for some studios this was a huge passion project and you can tell they are absolute fans of Star Wars while other studios seemed to only care for the attention a Star Wars project would bring to them and didn't even bother doing genuine research like they just skimmed through Wikipedia for cool tag lines the great thing though is all these episodes are short so you should definitely give it a chance and see what episodes stick out to you.

A very unique and original series showcasing a slew of different animation and stylistic interpretations. I very much enjoyed the of anime aesthetic. As well, the music and sound design. With so many new and original characters and stories. The spirit of what makes Star Wars, feels very alive in this series. I love that Disney was willing to create something so artistically unique.

Unfortunately, the series is not without it's faults. Being a series of anime, it brings with it many tropes and cliches anime is often known for. This may not detract for more hard-core anime fans, but may be a turn off for more casual viewers. For me the dialogue often felt cringe and ridiculous. Even for Star Wars. Along with a few moments that just felt absurd, like characters fighting and talking in the void of space. If you can forgive this, this is a fun series to sit through.

Each story is self contained and original. None of this is canon and has no affect on previous or future shows and movies. Although I would have liked to have seen some "Legends" material explored or known characters given new life in anime style. But at least they aren't retreading the same popular characters, stories, and timelines. If you were expecting any legacy characters, sorry.

All that being said, I did enjoy Visions and hope for a second season. And hats off to Disney for releasing the entire series at once. I have NOT been a fan of their weekly Marvel shows release pattern. Each episode is less than 20 minutes and the entire thing is easily watchable in a single sitting.

Star Wars Visions was a bag of mixed feelings, with couple of episodes being very good and the rest of them being either average or poor.

The ones I liked were :

Twins by Trigger which had a great animation along with decent action sequences.

The Duel by Kamikaze Douga was good in terms of story, although I felt the animation could have been better. The duel between the characters was displayed with effectiveness as well.

The Village Bride by Kinema Citrus had good animation and quality storyline with a satisfactory ending.

The rest of the episodes were average and couple of them (Tatooine Rhapsody and Akakiri) were totally dull and boring.

My Rating : 6/10.
