The Pit message is actually a big part of Star Wars as well (has mostly been in the novels and only recently shown in live-action in Andor) and can be applied to many civilizations that have had their resources taken (including Asian countries). As a black person, I didn't actually apply this story only to the African continent but more universal of people ignoring others pain because it's more convenient :/ You project it as only applying to African Americans because that is what you saw (I guess) but it can also apply to child labor going into apparel that we wear or any other exploitation, how we ignore our homeless population. You don't have an entity like the Empire in Star Wars and NOT explore these things that after being a franchise for so long. Either way, loved The Pit and really love Aau's Song and The Spy Dancer.
I'm black and yes, my ancestors were slaves. I'm in my forties and a mom. Episode 2x8 didn't bother me in the least because there were multiple races in that pit. It wasn't just black people so I took the story to be for any society in which they use and abuse people to gain wealth and prosperity. It's a timeless story so the idea that the Empire did this tracks. Also, I think if anyone wanted to combat racism, make more unique heroes of all races with cool powers and abilities saving lives and helping people. And I do agree with that guy who told you he was sick of slave movies. I am too. Unless you present an accurate true story that took place back then that is completely unique and no one heard about it, let's have black protagonist be heroes and doing good. Let's stop showing black people only being raised in violent inner cities, and forgo a lot of stereotyping.
I'm 55. Stories like this are Necessary. Just because certain individuals may or not be tired of a type of story, it's someone else's first time. I have a 33 year old child and I have a 9 year old with 5 other children in-between. We need stories to speak to each generation. Shakespeare has been around for hundreds of years. We're still telling his stories. Love you guys. Peace.👍🏾🤎💪🏽
Ep7 was the opposing side of Ep2 but somehow had the same feeling. Also noticed Star Wars has a lot of youth finding your path themes in it. There’s a lot of kids being taken away. Lol
Episodes 8 and 9 are perfect examples of why we need future Star Wars movies to expand the setting of the Galaxy. In 8 we have an incredibly India and South Asian inspired looking planet and not only is it absolutely gorgeous, it feels like it belongs in Star Wars. And in 9 the Tibetan and Himalayan inspired setting is absolutely breathtaking. Plus the story of Au and her voice purifying the Kyber is beautiful. Fun Fact: In canon Kyber Crystals can only be red if the force wielder holding it purposely channels the dark side of the force through it. The process is called “bleeding” the crystal.
I've had many, more emotional connections to the stories in season 2, these are all great, but I have to say that eps 7&9 are my favs. I think part of the reason is that it deals with girls who are adored by the men/boys of their family. I know I'm not alone in this, but at best, I was tolerated by my father and brothers. I'm well into adulthood, but I still feel that sting and hollowness, so 7&9 are really bittersweet. As a little girl, I mean really small, there were 3D puppet books. You can see them if you do an image search. Anyway, I've collected a few over the decades, and ep9 reminds me very much of those books, but in a SW universe. It's universal, but I think ep8 was mainly based on the diamond mines in Africa.
After browsing the comment section of several reaction channels my conclusion is that the diversity is the main strength of Visions. Each person has their own favourite based on personal preferences. Mine are 1 and 9.
The extras for each episode provide insight into the production studio and the inspiration for story elements. For episode 8 the writer is an employee of Lucasfilm who happens to be black, they then contracted with a unconventional Japanese studio that is owned and run by someone who happens to be black. Although the prisoners were of all skin tones i don't think they intended any subtlety.
Me,I'm black, late 40s. I enjoyed episode 8 on it's own but yeah, struggle movies. I am really tired of them. We are so much more than our scars. That's probably why I love Auu's song from South Africa. Beautiful storytelling.
26 and I liked it because they didn't make it about a race struggle because at some point you get tired of seeing stories about slavery and oppression of black people and just wanna see black people thriving or even just goofy and fun. There were a lot of black characters but them being black wasn't the focus which is why I liked it. May I also say I appreciate an anime studio that can actually draw black characters well because so many can't.
To those complaining about the plot of episode 8, here's a question for you: Do you all have the stamina to climb out of a pit that high? Even with equipment? (it's likely they were brought down by a ship the deeper they went) and you can't just climb out to a deep hole with just pickaxes anyway. Sheesh! Oh and so long as slavery still exist we definitely need to keep telling stories about them. Seeing as slavery exist in many different forms today. You don't have to be a minority for it to concern you(thinking like that just makes you ignorant)
Aau's Song is one of my top three episodes of Volume 2 along with Sith and Screecher's Reach. Overall Volume 2 was a MASSIVE improvement over the first IMO.
Really enjoyed the Bandits ep too. The Pit, sadly, was my least favourite episode of Visions. The animation felt cheap and the story was a bit too cliched for my liking.
For episode 8 and your comments on your friend, “he is tired of slave movies/shows and would like to see some positive movies/shows”… I understand, but I also see there must be balance… I’m a black male raised and born in the US with African ancestry… To me, history (good and bad, the road that got each race up to the pt where they are now) is extremely important and this is seen and reflected other races (movies on Japan invading China, Jewish movies on the holocaust)… History is very important because during these tragic periods of each race, the world turned its back on them… So keeping history present does 2 things in my opinion, 1st, the race that experienced this, it’s make them to know and see thinking that rises up in people or society that can lead to a repeating of history and 2nd, with the unity of that race, develop safe guards through organizations to call out and/or protect their people to prevent the same tragic history… And the best perfect example of these 2 are seen in the Jewish community… Through their holocaust, they have masterfully applied these 2 principles… Now, me as a black man, slavery was 1 of the most horrific events in human history which lasted for nearly 400 years….and the fact of this, is the damaging affect is still seen in us today (not looking at the individual, but looking at blacks as a whole in American… And I know I will have a lot of arguments with that statements, but collectively we pull in enough money to run a country, but we have nothing as a people collectively, we are individuals…)… And the other side to that is, I agree with your friends commend on that we also need to see some positive movies/shows pre slavery of our great history, the great contribution blacks gave to the world and the great civilizations we had… It seems the only historical movies/shows seen about blacks are about slavery, like we had no history before that or we didn’t contribute to the advancement of society…. But I’d say, that our (blacks) responsibility to do, we need to study, research and tell our own history, because no one will do justice to someone else more than yourself…
I'm 29 and black. I agree with your friend I have grown tired of slave movies, but I did enjoy this episode because this history isn't often seen through the lens of Star Wars. But, in future I want to see Black People do awesome shit! Bring back Mace Windu and make Finn a Jedi! Give us a Black Sith Lord! And make Movies/T.V. where we are doing general badassery!
I think Chiwetel Ejiofor would play a great Sith Lord, his character in Serenity gave off major Sith Lord vibes. Chukwudi Iwuji could make for a good Sith Lord too.
yeah they really fucked up with finn's storyline and really screwed over john boyega. hope he comes back as a jedi in the jedi order movie they announced.
22:06 Star Wars using its platform to draw attention to issues Americans ignore is great. Disney did it with the Falcone and the Winter Soldier, so seeing them do something similar yet different here is nice. That said, I imagine what you picked up on went over the heads of many people who are divorced from these sorts of issues. You've likely heard that Black Americans aren't a monolith, and that's still true. Many Black Americans are descendants of enslaved Black Americans, but not all Black Americans, as some came to the US of their own choosing well after--they have a history they are proud of; heck, they know where they came from! Not having the baggage descendants of enslaved Black Americans has got to be liberating. Knowing your family's past, your history is a source of pride for most people I assume, but what do you suppose that's like for the descendant of an enslaved Black American who's family has suffered pretty much since colonial times? They might not have suffered to the same degree as enslaved peoples, but that's not what I'm getting at. The American government has been very good at making it difficult for Black Americans to climb up. The Unions victory over the Confederate army was supposed to do many things, promises were made, but there was a lot of clawing back and slave owners were paid reoperations, $300 for every slave freed on April 16th, 1865 via the District of Columbia Emancipation Act--about $5,600 in 2023. The enslaved were given freedom, but they were left to fend for themselves, and some ended up going back to their former owners because they had nowhere else to go. They weren't slaves but were given slave wages since the government didn't do anything to help them going forward. 40 acres and a mule was not given as originally promised. Enslaved Blacks had skills, but no one in the south wanted to pay them. Licenses were created to keep skilled enslaved people from making a decent living! The had no money to get a license, so they could make their own barber shops, tailor shops, restaurants or whatever because some Americans wanted to punish the people they had to let go. Anyway, while the US cannot distinguish Black people in Americans anymore than they can Asians, Blacks in the US get the same treatment, which isn't all that great. Those who's families struggled getting by all through the Civil Rights movement, the Vietnam War and the 80s with Regan still had a hard go at things, as society wasn't made for us. Police stops in the US are a reminder that no a whole lot has changed. Police in the US don't deescalate situations, they dial things up to elven the moment they get on the scene around Black people--too many videos show that it's the person on the other end of the gun trying to deescalate the situation--up is down and down is up. Hollywood movies and TV dramas haven't done Black people any favors either, portraying us as thugs, pimps, prostitutes or just bad people for years, and this is after portraying us as lazy since after the civil war. Lazy? Skilled workers who wanted to work, but weren't allowed. People who wanted a home, but couldn't buy one. People who wanted to go to school, but weren't allowed to go to one or to one that offered a competitive education. Personally, I think the US needs more stories about non-White people. Period pieces. Americans should learn about James Marion Sims, how modern day medicines quickly evolved in a short span of time--you can do a lot when you don't consider people human or only three-fifths a man. Americans should definitely have to learn about Henrietta Lacks and her contribution to science then and now--she's saving lives even in death, and against her will. Yikes! Americans should also learn about how big pharma made billions off her DNA while not paying her family a single cent. The US' disregard for the well-being of Black Americans in medicine has been going on for years. The Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment ended not too long ago, 1972! Being enslaved is horrible for sure, but everything that followed was equally horrible. If Americans understood their history, they'd better understand why Black Americans want reoperations. For those arguing that the people who did the enslaving is no longer alive, that's no the issue. The country that allowed it, sustained it and built itself with it, still is. The country has a debt it needs to clear, but money alone won't solve the problems and hurt the country has put millions of Americans through. Education and representation needs to evolve, and Americans really need to do away with hyphens. Americans are called Americans outside the US, so why don't they follow every other country in the world. When Americans can start seeing other Americans as Americans too, we won't need Disney or Marvel to find a clever way to teach us or remind us of our past.
This is what annoys me with you guys sometimes. why did you have to bring up the fact that the all the protagonists were female at the end there? them being girls/women had no influence on the story. they were good protagonists in good stories, and just happened to be women. isn't that the goal? isn't the main complaint against "woke" messaging is that they pander for the sake of it? none of the episodes here pandered to anyone.
I didn't even notice the female protagonist thing until I randomly saw an article about it. Just goes to show that good stories help immerse you into the worlds they create.
Episode 7 irked the hell out of me. It is just difficult for me to get behind little bad ass kids with no discipline. Its not the kid per se' but the adults around who tolerate their little bad asses. Its one thing if they are super young but when they are old enough to know better and keep doin' stupid shyt...that I just told you not to do?? You JUST got us kicked off the train but you go and start levitating shyt again??? I just can't. Let me baby sit her little ass... I bet there won't be NO more of that. Uncle Prod don't play that shyt.
This series I thought was ok, but the logic in Episode 8 bugged me. Everyone in that pit were the villans in this story. They all dug the pit together with the kid, then they let him climb the wall by himself and run to the town and get killed. No one helped him.. at all. They all had pick axes. They could have just dug some stairs and walked out. The kid died because they couldn't work together or were just too lazy to save themselves smh.
episode 8 was the most retarded, for me. "Oh no, we've been left down here! We're going to starve!" me: "Oh for the love of... YOU HAVE YOUR TOOLS RIGHT THERE WITH YOU! DIG YOUR WAY *UP!"* "Oh, if only we could make the people notice us!" me: "For fucks sake... you have SIX INDUSTRIAL-GRADE FLOODLIGHT GRILLS! POINT THEM *UP* LIKE A GIANT SEARCH LIGHT!" it's the Interstellar retarded syndrome: "We got this far by the power of love.".... yeah, and the hundred scientists and engineers behind the construction of the vehicle you're flying, all be damned, right?
@@OneRandomVictory didn't say it was quick... I said it's possible, given that they all have the tools they were stranded with. and even though it would take time, none of the characters seems to have aged in the time it took them to dig down there.... so, it would take the same time up as it took down. I hate stories that are crafted for the sake of "giving a message", and forget the setting they're put into. this is clearly a Bible adaptation that knows nothing about Star Wars, IT's lore, or the lore of _the world itself beyond the time frame of 5000 BC_
@@bcn1gh7h4wk A literal city was built in the time it took them to dig that hole. You're also making the assumption that they even had enough food and water to survive down there in the time it would take to dig their way out.
@@OneRandomVictory precisely what I'm saying: it doesn't make sense, except when asking the characters to do something about it. more to it: the kid assumes the people will listen to the one random guy asking for help, and lo and behold, they do.... the people could have simply *kept doing what they were doing up to that point while the city was being built,* which was, not giving a crap about who built it. what happens if the people just leaves them to die? what happens if the workers just STFU and start digging up from the first go? it's the same thing.... if one doesn't make sense, neither should the other. it's only when you try to bend the story into the Kobayashi Maru, to then resolve it by the power of friendship and strawberries, that it goes to shit.

Yep its the Rich vs the poor Oldest story in the world
Star Wars has had slaves before this isn't new.
I checked episode 7 was animated by an Indian studio based in Mumbai which is neat given that India does not produce many animated shows.
I think T-Series on TH-cam has some animated Indian videos
They're also working on the Gremlins animated series apparently.
the animation looked a lot like what is used in the civilization games

Thank you Idk if you guys read my comment but thank you ( I asked in last video to upload three episodes per video )
someone might have already commented it but ep 8 has post credit scene

Aau's Song is one of my top three episodes of Volume 2 along with Sith and Screecher's Reach. Overall Volume 2 was a MASSIVE improvement over the first IMO.
Really enjoyed the Bandits ep too. The Pit, sadly, was my least favourite episode of Visions. The animation felt cheap and the story was a bit too cliched for my liking.
Glad you liked it. I thought the second whole season was awful.
truly experienced pit engineers would have left themselves a ramp against the sides to get out of the pit but slaves, not so much.
I think the stormtroopers also felt bad for what they did, so that's why they didn't open fire.
Imma need ole girl from Ep2 to meet ole girl from ep7

You JUST got us kicked off the train but you go and start levitating shyt again??? I just can't. Let me baby sit her little ass... I bet there won't be NO more of that. Uncle Prod don't play that shyt.
This series I thought was ok, but the logic in Episode 8 bugged me. Everyone in that pit were the villans in this story. They all dug the pit together with the kid, then they let him climb the wall by himself and run to the town and get killed. No one helped him.. at all. They all had pick axes. They could have just dug some stairs and walked out. The kid died because they couldn't work together or were just too lazy to save themselves smh.
episode 8 was the most retarded, for me.
"Oh no, we've been left down here! We're going to starve!"
me: "Oh for the love of... YOU HAVE YOUR TOOLS RIGHT THERE WITH YOU! DIG YOUR WAY *UP!"*
"Oh, if only we could make the people notice us!"
me: "For fucks sake... you have SIX INDUSTRIAL-GRADE FLOODLIGHT GRILLS! POINT THEM *UP* LIKE A GIANT SEARCH LIGHT!"
it's the Interstellar retarded syndrome: "We got this far by the power of love.".... yeah, and the hundred scientists and engineers behind the construction of the vehicle you're flying, all be damned, right?
Firstly, digging your way up would take a lot of time. Secondly, the stormtroopers clearly shut the power off when they left.
@@OneRandomVictory didn't say it was quick... I said it's possible, given that they all have the tools they were stranded with.
and even though it would take time, none of the characters seems to have aged in the time it took them to dig down there.... so, it would take the same time up as it took down.
I hate stories that are crafted for the sake of "giving a message", and forget the setting they're put into.
this is clearly a Bible adaptation that knows nothing about Star Wars, IT's lore, or the lore of _the world itself beyond the time frame of 5000 BC_
@@bcn1gh7h4wk A literal city was built in the time it took them to dig that hole. You're also making the assumption that they even had enough food and water to survive down there in the time it would take to dig their way out.
@@OneRandomVictory precisely what I'm saying: it doesn't make sense, except when asking the characters to do something about it.
more to it: the kid assumes the people will listen to the one random guy asking for help, and lo and behold, they do.... the people could have simply *kept doing what they were doing up to that point while the city was being built,* which was, not giving a crap about who built it.
what happens if the people just leaves them to die?
what happens if the workers just STFU and start digging up from the first go?
it's the same thing.... if one doesn't make sense, neither should the other.
it's only when you try to bend the story into the Kobayashi Maru, to then resolve it by the power of friendship and strawberries, that it goes to shit.
RRR overrated
