Season 2 Review: Star Wars: Visions Volume 2 delivers some of the most inspiring Star Wars stories of this decade, simply by blending together the beauty of a story-rich globe and setting it free among the stars. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Watching Star Wars: Visions sparks a kind of endless wonder that hasn’t been present in the franchise for some time now. By tying itself to the Skywalker Saga or even exploring adjacent stories, the anime series allows its creators to craft some genuinely groundbreaking stories, many of which are deserving of their own extended universes.

Season 2 Review: Star Wars: Visions feels like the best Star Wars we’ve had all year. ... Star Wars: Visions may be too good. ... It makes you wish that Lucasfilm would loosen the reigns a bit. It turns out that Star Wars feels most like Star Wars when it’s defying all expectations. Read full review

Season 2 Review: Volume 2 transcends that ambition to all Star Wars supporters, and more profoundly, those who have followed content that now lies outside of continuity. Each story stands apart from another while all carry a collective thematic element that binds the series to the official canon of the continuity. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Yes, it’s visually and stylistically lush; but the stories presented here are diverting more than they are engrossing, making the whole thing feel a bit like franchise-flavored empty calories. Read full review

They got me with the first episode and they put heart and soul into everything. I watched the season in one sitting and say the force is strong here. It is as expected a mixture of Japanese culture aka anime, Samurai movies, style, tropes and ideas included into Star Wars. There is already an overlap as Samurai and Jedi are similar (Codex, lifelong training, great warriors, can fall to the dark side etc.) Before anyone mentions it: I know that most Jedi are not fighters but those are rarely shown in the movies, series and books (If you don't believe me just look up the agricultural corps, medical corps and diplomatic corps of the Jedi Order). Just as remark for the Show: The episodes are out of continuity or at least hard to pinpoint and hardcore fans should find some errors but this was never the point. It is about telling compelling stories, use ideas and connect this with the studios. I think I give an overview about the episodes: “The Duel” is inspired by “The seven Samurai” and an amazing start. Well paced, amazing style and impressive characters. Highlight of the show and worth continuing. “Tatooine Rhapsody” is unlike everything I expected and works quite well. I wont spoil anything and just say the episode rocks ;-). “The Twins” has great action, interesting ideas and 2 likable characters with the twins. Also good philosophical dilemma. “The ninth Jedi” has a great story, great characters, surprises and I hope they continue the story as I see great potential here. Easily another highlight. “T0-B1” This is charming and warms your heart. I was reminded of Astro Boy and Pinocchio. Good idea, main character and optimistic outlook. “The Elder” shows an adventure that has a meaningful lesson. Be it for a Jedi, Padawan or the viewer. “Lop and Ocho” is again something I want to see more of. Great lovable, characters, moral dilemma and emotions. Another highlight. “Akakiri” is like a Samurai drama and I am amazed that they pulled this of. This was awesome ride and I was deeply impressed. Many of these episodes are so good that I want to see more of the characters and how their stories progress. Even the episodes that are not my favorites have hearth and soul put into. Visually the style is excellent and truly a strength. Overall I give a 10/10 and say it was refreshing and amazing. We need more like this and I recommend it for fans of Star Wars, Japanese movies / culture and maybe even non fans.… Expand

I love anime and Star Wars!
When I found out there was going to be a series that combines my two favorite things, I knew I was going to love it.

It is very hard for me to assign a single score to the entire "Star Wars: Visions" series, because I absolutely hated 90% of it. But that 10% that I liked was amazing.

So, my note on "Star Wars: Visions" is that the first episode is an absolute must watch for any non-kid Star Wars fan, since it does have some pretty graphic violence. I loved how it tried to broaden what Star Wars can look like, visually. It wasn't just more desert or sand planets.

The second episode was fun enough that you could give it a try, but whatever you do, stop there. Every other episode in this series is a total dud. They are not even worth the 10 minute run time to check out.

I give it an A, make a point to see the first episode, but stop there.… Expand

This is the best Star Wars content since The Clone Wars and while there are many anime tropes and a few of the shorts don't quite work, the vast majority breathe new life into Star Wars with a unique style.

In fact, considering the safe and by-the-book nature of these anime (which are visually quite boring for the most part), a lot of fan-made material out there actually showcases way more originality than what this series presents. Not insultingly bad; just all and all very average once we're past the first episode. Disney's Lucasfilm is simply continuing its trend of producing uninspired content despite having virtually unlimited budget and creative power. Move along, move along.… Expand
