Star Wars: Visions Volume 2 Discussion - Renegade Animation #106

May 15, 2023 by Michael Kaye in Animation, Renegade Animation

In this episode, Captain Kaye and the Animation Guru discuss Star Wars: Visions Volume 2, featuring 9 brand new animated shorts from around the world.

What’s going on, everyone? This is your Captain speaking, and I am very excited to share this episode! This time, Cameron and I are discussing Star Wars: Visions Volume 2, which features 9 shorts from various animation studios across the globe. These studios include Cartoon Saloon, Studio Mir, El Guiri Studios, and Triggerfish, among others. Tune into the podcast to hear the full discussion.



Star Wars: Visions Volume 2

As much as I loved the combination of Star Wars and anime in Volume 1, one of my notes was that I wanted to see a little more variety in the types of stories being told in each short. As it turns out, Volume 2 delivered exactly what I asked for. These 9 shorts offered variety in both animation styles and cultures represented. Some of my favorites from this batch were “Sith,” from Spain’s El Guiri Studios, “Screecher’s Reach,” from Ireland’s Cartoon Saloon, and "Journey to the Dark Head," from Korea’s Studio Mir.

"While Volume 1 was hit and miss, Volume 2 of Star Wars Visions is a home run from beginning to end. Going global with the studio collaborations unleashes a spark of creativity that the franchise has deeply needed. My favorite shorts were ‘Sith,’ ‘Screecher’s Reach,’ ‘The Spy Dancer,’ and ‘Aau’s Song.’” -The Animation Guru
