Is good to see a xs stock light Freighter a old republic ship
My favorite episode by far "You can't change a river's flow by casting a stone, but live in harmony with nature and you will change together."
Gave me chills just reading that
I wish they would make a whole series of this one. I feel this one really encompassed star wars and used anime to tell a very compelling story.
I'd watch it
I need a whole series of her.
@@Starvona the speed portrayed is how fast jedi knights and above truly are too
The main thing Star Wars movies have often left out is going deeper into the force and the cultures that exist within this universe. This episode going into both of those more than a lot of Star Wars stories is probably why it’s my favorite Visions episode. Plus, Kevin Penkin and Emi Evans certainly don’t hurt.
It also handles the personal aspect of the force. How many times have you heard "may the force be with you" and not feel anything? And then how did you feel when you heard her say it? There is a weight to the personal aspect of what the force means to a person. What being a Jedi is. Codes and oaths are great, but what about reason? What about why?
This was a journey of the heart as much as a tour through another culture... if not more. She followed her Jedi code and refused to interfere... but then abandoned the code to become a true Jedi. She found purpose where previously had none. It is beautiful.
The vocals for this episode's soundtrack were done by Emi Evans (Drakenguard, NieR Replicant, NieR Automata).
@@Dracobyte that’s why I mentioned her
To me the soundtrack for this episode really brings up for me. I’ll even go far as to say it’s my favorite short thus far!
The soundtrack is simply amazing
Kevin penkin baby, you see kinema citrus you know its him
The vocals for this episode's soundtrack were done by Emi Evans (Drakenguard, NieR Replicant, NieR Automata).
I also love the Taoist influence in this episode. The force does take some inspiration from Taoism and my in head cannon. All interpretations of “the force” such the night sisters, the people of this planet, or the Jedi all hail from the same origin but branched off like the Abrahamic religions.
Since the Jedi seem the most in harmony with it I'm thinking they are the ones who've stayed the most true to its teachings.
Ooorrr like all monotheistic religions they all worship the same thing but have different outlooks on it. Like the force is all present and these cultures have independently found their own interpretation of the force
The music in this episode is on another level.
Kevin Penkin made the music
@@markthetopfabricator6047 Oooh, the guy from The Rising of the Shield Hero
@@gianfrancodelgiudice4926 and Tower of God
Kevin Penkin and Emi Evans. Kevin has done some great anime OST, and Emi is behind the lyrics and vocals of some of the greatest soundtracks ever made.
So yeah, this episode has good music.
@@markthetopfabricator6047 AND MADE IN ABYSS
This was my favourite short in terms of music. Kevin Penkin really delivered on his front.
And Emi Evans as the vocals, too!

The ship the Padawan left the planet on was a Z-95 Headhunter (Clone Wars variant)
It's one of my favorite ships in Star Wars, so it is nice to see it again.
I think this one is my favorite - a lot of people seem to prefer the Ninth Jedi (which is also good) but something about this one - the music, the setting, the village's culture (I love learning about other Force traditions), the interpresonal relationships, F's background, the animation, the pacing...even though the story itself isn't particularly unique and not even that action packed, the whole thing just hit several sweet spots and just felt like a dream in some places. I want to know more about F, and I also felt even in the few seconds we get with them that the relationship between the couple was really sweet and affectionate.
everything i've been thinking. it's also my favorite :) the ending got me sooo emotional and i don't think any of the other episodes made me feel the way this one did.
Yeah, Ninth Jedi was the most “Star Wars” of them all, but I loved this one the most. I love seeing the unique cultures in the galaxy and the many ways the force appears in this universe. This has both of those, I’d say showing even more than the movies.
9th Jedi and this are my 2 faves. The music, animation and underlying message about harmony with nature give it such a Ghibli feeling for me. Love it.
@@jonathaneverson3673 super strong Mononoke-hime vibes from this one
This was my favorite episode of this series. It's so nice to see how different cultures interpret the force, the Jedi, and mix them in such a beautiful way.
The Village Bride is one of my favorite shorts from _Star Wars Visions_ and my number #1 favorite from Visions, with Ninth Jedi as a close second.
I enjoyed the short not just for its animation, but also the story, the philosophy of the Force and it's characters where the main character (F) tries not to reveal most of her Identity after she remains in hiding following Order 66 and stepping in to save the day to rescue Haru and Saku from Lord Izuma.
But the biggest highlight that made me love this short was for the soundtrack that can be warm, quiet, emotional, majestic and epic. Kevin Penkin who composed the music of this short has worked on several video games and anime such as Made in Abyss, _Tower of God_ and recently Netflix's _Eden_ so I give big props to Kevin for the score and especially Emi Evans who provided the vocals in this episode as I got emotional listening to her voice in several scenes throughout the episode.
Also, the voice of the Masked Female Jedi is Karen Fukuhara who is best known as Kipo from _"Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts"_ and Glimmer from Netflix's _"She-Ra and the Princesses of Power"_ plus Matthew Wood came to reprise his roles as the Battle Droids in his only Anime dub.
I do hope we get to see more of the Masked Female Jedi (F) in a potential Anime series very soon, besides just _Ninth Jedi_
Looking forward to your reaction to the one everyone is looking forward to: _The Ninth Jedi._
I agree, this is my favorite too, and the music/atmosphere is a huge part of why, along with some of the exploration of F's journey and the philosophy of the Force. I also really enjoyed the Elder for the same reason- it's actually the quieter moments that I enjoy. (On the other hand, I also loved The Twins simply because it was so insane and I liked the alternate take on the twins/Force dyad and using Sith manipulation to create them, and yet one is still trying to break away)
He also did Rising of the Shield Hero! Didn't know about Eden though.
@@connorsmith4319 It's a 4 episode series that's on Netflix, check it out it has the voice talents of David Tennant, Rosario Dawson, Ruby Rose Turner and Neil Patrick Harris. Funny thing is Neil Patrick Harris who voiced the villain Zero in Eden was Karre in the Star Wars Visions short, _The Twins_
The vocals for this episode's soundtrack were done by Emi Evans (Drakenguard, NieR Replicant, NieR Automata).
I love whenever the different cultures' way of perceiving what we call the 'force' is shown. This short in particular is just really good at packing a whole story into the runtime, one of the most satisfying standalone ones here.
The studio behind it, Kinema Citrus, is one i'm not too familiar with, but they've done a few recent hits with Made In Abyss, Revue Starlight, and Shield Hero. I loved the style they did this episode in, and maybe that's a sign to check out some of their other work.
Made in Abyss is one of the best shows I’ve ever watched. Def check it out
Did not know MiA and Shield Hero folks did this one. Also didn’t know those shows were the same studio. Think I can tell which stuff is a passion project for them lol, Shield Hero looks like shit compared to this and MiA
The music in this episode is AMAZING
same compositor that made in abyss, kevin penkin
This short hasn't been getting enough love from most people I've talked to. Glad you guys liked it as much as I did.
No joke, the revealing of her status as a Jedi paired with the crescendoing music and the “magina, may you rise” line almost made me cry
The atmosphere of this story was second to none.
I love all of the ways that they depict not only the Force, but also how it shows the way that noble sacrifice for her family is benevolent and likely would have worked. Then that falls apart when her sibling and the other kids try to rebel and it almost does the opposite of what she wanted, despite them having the correct reason in trying to break the system of oppression, rather than enable it. That emphasizes the REASON for the Jedi needing to come in and intervene, which is why I love this one so much.
“You would find more cheer in a graveyard.” Gimli son of Gloin.
I really like the planet's memories piece.
The first time I watched it, I missed that the mountains shifting happened sometime between the couple being kids and them being married. They were witnessing the event via memory.
When the couple was approaching the temple as the wedding ritual, there is already a giant chasm, but in the memory, the kids are building a fish run to allow the fish to swim upstream because the land and river could still reach the temple going upstream. They change the river rocky by rock, to help nature complete the cycle.
That chasm is created by the Separatists and other bandit gang disrespecting the planet and stripping the resources, and it had happened in the last 10-20 years.
The fish can no longer get to the source of the river. That ancestral connection is broken for a part of nature, caused by the Separatists. But the villagers still try and keep the balance with Magina and the planet by doing the ritual back at the source of the river.
A very funny thing if you actually caught the reference was that the ship that the Separatists arrived on the planet with was actually the same design of the Smuggler's ship from SWTOR. And if you've played a Smuggler in that game, you know how much shit that ship has gone through, so this is just another bump along the ride for her.
This and the ninth Jedi are my favourite episodes overall
Cutting the braid might be her breaking her code and becoming a rogue Jedi.
IIRC, most of the time, Padawan's have braids throughout their training and when they are promoted to Jedi Knight, their braid is cut off.
@@HalfDemonInuyasha When they are removed from the Jedi training the braid is also cut off. If she lost her master then she would need to go back to the Jedi Council to continue training with a new master or would be giving the chance to complete the trials. It seems she had a code that prevented her from getting involved, but she cut her braid off and then killed the bad people and helped the village.
Music in this episode is ON POINT.
The vocals for this episode's soundtrack were done by Emi Evans (Drakenguard, NieR Replicant, NieR Automata).
AYE!
F is a certified Jedi queen, her heels are to die for and she’s super beautiful masked or unmasked. Her reveal that was built upon was perfection!
Also, hearing Cary in Star Wars brought me so much nostalgia, particularly his Shang Tsung persona in the light side.
lmfao there aren't enough fellow F simps out there. Glad there's someone out there who felt the same way I did.
@@purplelord8531 glad to meet a fellow F admirer, she’s such a beauty in combat/her hair is gorgeous too.
How old are you? 12?
this light saber could easily work in star wars cannon since there is no defined definition of what a blade should look like just like all swords.
Exactly, I hope to see a lot more in the future.
On top of that, the dark saber shows that blades don't all have to be traditional stick blades, so there's already at least one precedent.

Definitely my favorite episode of them all. The magic, the mysticism, the music... Everything´s just so beautiful.
This is my favorite so far. I loved the reveal of her lightsaber, the music was breathtaking, I loved the art style, and the moment her heel unlocks and she shoots forward was so hype and so anime!
This one is my favorite out of all the shorts we got. The music, character designs, story-I loved them all.
by far my favorite Visions episode.
It’s official, I have a new favorite lightsaber design.
This episode made me feel so many emotions. Balled my eyes out watching it. I loved it
The music and visuals paired so well, emotionally. I was kind of heightened emotions for the whole thing, but it was F's short speech about the river, wind, Magina, and the Force, and I started crying.
If there's one thing Star Wars Anime has given us......it is INCREDIBLE lightsaber variations. I love how natural the fit with the spiritualism of eastern cultures blends with the Wars universe (Given the modification of Taoism within the Jedi code this isn't surprising). Of the shorts, I'd say all but one are Star Wars anime(essentially Anime within Star Wars). The other is anime Star Wars (the balls to the wall insanity of anime with Star Wars iconography)
I am an absolute sucker for the Japanese trope of “hero lunges to attack villain, hero winds up behind villain motionless, villain moves and falls dead to the ground.”
One of my favourite episodes from Visions. The music was beautiful
We need full series of this
I think this episode did the best job of incoproating music to enhance both individual scenes and the story of the episode as a whole. It gives an air of mystery, mysticism and otherworldiness imo.
Edit: I forgot it was Kevin Penkin who composed the music untill the commenter below reminded me. But for those who know him it perfectly explains why this episode has the best soundtrack. If you’ve never heard of Kevin Penkin - go listen to the music from Made in Abyss. Or better yet: Go watch Made in Abyss.
The music was the reason why I enjoy this so much and my number #1 favorite from Visions.
I give big props to Kevin Penkin who composed the music including Emi Evans for vocals that can either be warm, quiet, majestic and epic. I literally got emotional listening to Emi's voice in several scenes throughout the episode.
and Tower of God a ost masterpiece
Man I loved this episode
Everything to the world, characters, the lightsaber reveal, to the droid humor, it definitely is my favorite episode closely followed by The Ninth Jedi
*_Lop & Ocho_* was the other one that I liked as much as those other two, because of how well this one and the other really leaned in to the decisions to side with or against the Empire for the greater good of everyone else being a really tough and ideologically divisive decision.
In this, her sister being the sacrifice for their grandfather was a noble call, and without a Jedi was their only realistic option to keep the others from killing them. It's unpleasant, but is what you have to do at times without adequate power. With a Jedi, they are able to overcome the oppression and save everyone so it shows the importance of using power when you have it to end oppression.
That's the same conflict in Lop & Ocho, but that one goes fully in to JUST how deeply it divides people against those they love when you have to choose one of those two paths to safety, and the other means needless death. It's the same reason why the ploy in the Ninth Jedi is so important to make sure they know who they can and can't trust.
@@PierceArner I think that theme is also in the Elder (which is one of my favorite ones as well) - the duel/action in that episode was cool but what I found most intriguing was seeing how the Master and Padawan interacted, and the Master passing on his lessons on the fleetignness of strength/power and how/why we should use it when we have it.
The Village Bride is one of my favorite shorts from _Star Wars Visions_ and my number #1 favorite from Visions, with Ninth Jedi as a close second.

FINALLY. THIS ONE IS MY FAVORITE
This is definitely one of my favorite episodes; I'd love to see more of this character's adventures.
I imagine the thing with the shoes is more of just opening up so she has more room to move her legs.
Definitively looks like she had some kind of tech in her boots that helped her going that fast like some kind of boost in it.
My favorite of the season. A lot of depth to this one. Would love to see more of the masked jedi in the future.
Easily my favorite episode I want so much more of this episode please. I'm so glad you all liked it as much as me along with many others :)
Honestly wish this episode alone was its own series
I think the music really stands out in this one. LOVE the music.
First force form: Forceclap and flash!
When Visions was announced, I expected something like Halo Legends. Stories set within the universe, but through the lens of anime. Instead most of Visions is anime with a coat of Star Wars paint. This episode and The Ninth Jedi both feel like they could easily slot into the canon timeline and are my favorites as a result.
Elder, Ninth Jedi, Village Bride, and The Duel were the most like Star Wars to me, and are what I’d consider the best of Visions, too. Elder honestly could’ve been an episode of an Obi-Wan/Qui-gon series.
Yes. Both episodes are the ones that feel the most like they could easily fit sometime in timeline.
@@mr.stuffdoer8483
That’s what I thought, personality-wise they felt almost like stand ins. Obi-Wan (as of episode 1) being too eager and ambitious, and Qui-Gon being gentle and patient.
Definitely my favorite of them all.
This episode, the first one and The Ninth Jedi are my favourites!
Best animation, best stories and a moving sound... especially this one had extremely warmth pictures and created goosebumps in combination with the music! They all managed to create some Star Wars feeling/mood, which the other episodes didn’t that much to me
I wonder if people noticed that the bride and his husband were planning to kill themselves with the ward lord. In the scene inside their house shows the thermal bomb they would use in the act. Them you can notice the husband is using the backpack carrying the bomb in the encounter. I only noticed that in the second time I watched.
That is a old Republic ship model.
She put her crocs in sports mode
this was very much in the clone wars time line
her ship was a Z-95 headhunter, it's a republic starfighter
Ship is XS Stock freighter from SWTOR
oh that is a Corellian XS stock light Freighter as seen from the old republic mmo rpg game it cockpit also similar to the ebon hawk from kotor
The ship looks more like the Ebon Hawk, or the smuggler variant ship from Star Wars the Old Republic mmorpg
I agree, favorite so far
This is my favourite episode (:
this one was my FAVORITE!
My Favorite
right now this is my favorite episode I still have 5 more episodes to watch but this episode was very calm from the secenry, music, and story gave me sense of calmness
This one was really good, I can’t wait till The Ninth Jedi reaction.
I was thinking I liked the sundtrack for this one... of course this was the episode Penkin worked on.
So excited for you guys to see the next one.
This is one of my favorite episodes! The best part of it to me was the music and how it was used.
This episode and the Ninth Jedi are my favorites of the series
Calvin talkin about Kanan
Great reactions, looking forward to more.
the music was soo good
This one is my favourite artstyle wise, and one of my favourites overall as well
Kevin Penkin is just so great
This short deserves its own movie
The music in this one was the best in the series by far
Thanks, Eric! Thanks, Rick! Thanks, Calvin! Thanks, Aaron! 👰
I was worried some of you wouldn’t like this one but I’m so happy it connected with you just like it did with me
This series was DOPE
This is definitely one of the episodes I hope becomes an anime series.
Out of the first four, this episode is my favorite so far.
Calvin got teary eyed at the same point I did. Eric and Aaron should get laser eye surgery so I can more easily see when they get teary eyed.
does anyone else notice shang tsung was in this episode
This and the Ninth Jedi were my absolutes favourite of these! (The Ninth Jedi being very close second to The Village Bride for me)
Theyre really taking their time with this series. I want them to watch all the episodes already DX
They already finished reacting to all the episodes. They just release 1 episode a week.
I got Avatars vibe from this one, return to nature, one with nature, like in Avatar one with the mother tree, memory tress.
check out Samuel Kim's re-orchestration of the theme.
that guy *understands* Star Wars to a level only dreamed by the writers of the new trilogy.
I liked this episode, for me the highlight was Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa's character performance, the moment I heard the voice what immediately came to mind was "YOUR SOUL IS MINE"
This one is about the Jedi survive on the new Republic
That’s that’s the separate test don’t mess with the Jedi
Disney or whoever it is needs to release the soundtrack of this series especially this episode.
I wonder if that is a broad saber from the Star Wars Canon?
I really like this one
How did you guys not pick up that Shang Tsung was in this?!
Kill la Kill meets starwars am i wrong?, lol
The bride sounds like princess yue from avatar.
Best episode
Yay
If they thought this one was good, I cannot wait until they do the next one.
Ohhhh the next one will be sooooooo awesome.
How have we got another person complaining about heels 😭
