Episode 1: Sith - fucking rules
Episode 2: Screecher's Reach - gonna have to think about this one some more but I loved it
Episode 3: In the Stars - damn, I wasn't ready for three bangers in a row??
Episode 4: I Am Your Mother - incredibly charming, very funny, Aardman Star Wars was an amazing combo
Episode 5: Journey to the Dark Head - the first mid episode. Cool animation, I wish we got to see the big Jedi ship in full, but the story didn't do anything for me and the writing was pretty bad
Episode 6: The Spy Dancer - I liked this one okay, I thought the animation was sweet. If this is the middle ground for this season I'd be pretty happy
Episode 7: The Bandits of Golak - I wasn't sure about this one at first, but the second half of this episode is also fuckin sick
Episode 8: The Pit - I liked the animation in this one, but I think I needed more to happen in it. There was some tonal dissonance for me too, like the premise was really dark but the resolution was then weirdly saccharine.
Episode 9: Aua's Song - Loved this, just a huge smile on my face the entire time. I'm a huge sucker for when anything is resolved through the power of song, and I really gravitated to the stop motion, the story, the character designs, and the fact that there was no empire involved. Loved that this was the closer.
I think the highs of this season of Visions were a little lower than the 1st season. I would watch whole series set in the Ninth Jedi or the Village Bride from season one, and I'm not sure that any episodes here stood out to me in the same way.
But as an anthology, I thought this season was really strong. Even the episodes that I didn't like, like "Journey to the Dark Head" were creative in ways that Star Wars is typically lacking. I hope they do more seasons of visions, and I hope that it somehow, against all odds, opens the way for real creativity in the franchise. Just pay for 24 episodes of an animated Star Wars show and leave the rest up to the animation team, Disney, you won't even notice the difference in your budget.
Really, really happy this season came out, some of these were amazing and genuine and very sweet.
