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.
Visions, in its wild swings and vivid reconceptualizing of the universe, is freed from the obligations of canon, and in so doing becomes one of the most exciting pieces of Star Wars media we’ve seen in years.

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.

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.
Though Star Wars: Visions can sometimes feel repetitive, those frustrations are minor versus the glorious idiosyncrasies of the... well, visionary work of the diverse animators here.
Star Wars: Visions consists of nine stand-alone shorts, with the best providing a fascinating wedding of that far-away galaxy to imagery and themes rooted in Kurosawa's films.
For an anthology, Star Wars: Visions is remarkably consistent in its quality. There are no flat-out bad episodes in the bunch, though some are stronger than others. The weakest tend to rely too heavily on a prior investment in the ongoing battle between the light side and the dark side.
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.
Joder que buena serie.

Very hit and miss, with no care to keep the anthology series coherent in any way other than it is loosely based off of Star Wars. The stories, characters, target age, and art styles are all over the place. Many 'episodes' are kid-centric, while a few like the first are more adult, not sure of whom they are targeting and not capable of pleasing both at the same time. With most of the nine 'episodes' being very short, this smacks of just wanting anything to fill in the missing blanks of not having enough new content (aka the Netflix effect).

Unfortunately, the large majority of the episode are flat-out boring and unenjoyable. A handful of them 'save' the series though. I've watched the first 6 episodes and can only highly recommend the 3rd. 1, 2, and 5 are passable, but nothing I think I'd ever watch more than once.

Very disappointing. It feels like the studios were given the go-ahead to use certain elements that are present in SW, such as lightsabers, sfx, and catch-phrases, but they were prevented from using any content which could be in any way construed as canon. As a result, these tales feel extremely distanced from anything that "feels" like Star Wars. There is no SW music present, and very few characters or alien species that we know. Instead we get super stylized astroboy style droids and jedis that do too much talking or are fighting in outer space??? The last chapter felt a bit like "Tales of the Jedi" comics from the 90s and was my fav of the bunch, but most of the others really fell flat. Both "Star Wars Tales" and "From a Certain Point of View" were far better stort story anthologies, most likely because they had far more oversight given to them. Some of the animation on display is quite good, but the stories and characters were uninspiring for me at least.
