In Chaos Language

[@momo.ru-kun]

You can’t change the river’s flow by casting a stone, but live in harmony with nature, and you’ll change together. The breath of life becomes wind and will always respond. - The quote from F is so beautiful, it's like when humility and strength comes together as one.

[@HayateKusanagi]

That was it, right there. That was the moment that reminded me. It's not about religious zealots, it's not about galactic politics or terrifying superweapons. Sometimes the best tales are two people standing up in front of those who'd do wrong and going "no, no more. There won't be any more of this." Why? Because it's the right thing to do. Because that's what a knight does. They stand for those who can't. And when F's blade ignited and glowed in her eyes, when she quietly took that terrifying first step and took back what'd been taken from her by the Empire, I knew in my heart that this was what I'd been missing, and what I fell in love with so long ago. More of these, please. Please, this is what we need.

[@mrbrightsidetf2]

That was a beautiful comment and I completely agree.

[@Yayaloy9]

The short fight scene was for a reason too. Imagine an epic battle of F vs all those droids and thugs. There would be shots to the village, damage the property and risks of killing someone. The distraction by the guy and everything else was perfect.

[@theacepony3270]

In a way that's what make Ahsoka such a beautiful character. All the Jedi chose politics. Chose to defend the chancellor of the Republic and leave Mandalore to suffer. Ahsoka was the one who ignored politics, the chancellor, the Jedi, the Republic, and chose to defend them in their time of need. She was not a Jedi officially, but she knew what it meant to be a Jedi. Something others had forgotten.

[@jasoncarto]

What a single minded and narrow "Jedi" way of thinking. Full of hubris and arrogance.

[@alexkramerblogs]

The moment F started her talk of the Force and Magina as she stepped out to take on the warlord, I started crying fairly hard, and that was on the Japanese dub/English subbed version for the first time.

[@mrbrightsidetf2]

This is one of the most beautiful soundtracks I've ever heard. This alone should be proof that Village Bride deserves attention and continuation.

[@sumguy01]

What I would give to see a 26 episode season that begins with this episode…

[@theasianboy315]

@@sumguy01 That story would end with her death. Her chance to survive the Age of Empire as a Jedi is too small.

[@Marcelseizesanschaise]

@@theasianboy315 Probably, but I think that's what would make it beautiful. In nature everything dies eventually, everything returns to the living Force. For a Jedi like her, there is no death, there is is only the Force.

[@theasianboy315]

@@Marcelseizesanschaise Right. Plus, if she truly died during the Age of Empire, it's mostly because of Inquisitors. The Grand Inquisitor once said, "Do you know the key to hunting a Jedi, friend? It is patience. Jedi cannot help what they are. Their compassion leaves a trail." F is a compassionate helper. Ironically, this is what would lead her to her own ultimate destiny.

[@augustjackson1148]

I like short little stories like this in its own little bubble. Not everything needs to be a series, just more chance to ruin it. The brevity adds to its alure. A story only needs to be as long as it needs to be.

[@cjmanson5692]

Warlord: "What are you?! Some kind of a monster?!" F: "I am a Jedi."

[@vegitoblue2187]

This episode understood the Lore of Star Wars perfectly. I liked the narrative of a Jedi having lost her way.

[@matthewmclean6108]

Kevin Penkin is a GOAT of a composer!!! Blessed to have him make breathtaking music for the Star Wars Franchise! He is incredibly talented!

[@davide.schiaffino]

Thank you KZbin for recommending this suite again after 2 years.

[@liamnigenda2849]

This was the best episode for me. The episode and especially the soundtrack was beautiful. Magina x Force gave me chills the first time I heard it. I couldn’t believe Emi Evan was the ones doing the vocals. Kevin Penkin and Emi Evans definitely should work together more. This episode deserves a full show.

[@Reconzile]

I have no idea how he keeps doing it, but Kevin's work just hits me right in the gut, every time. It was no surprise to see his name in the credits.

[@InfiniteAura]

Wanna know something crazy. I don’t even fucking like Star Wars but I heard Kevin worked on the music and I was already sold on watching this episode

[@kimosheesh]

@@InfiniteAura and i totally understand you he is so good

[@Wyarak]

You know, saying this is the best thing you can say to Kevin. Cause he said he does music in order for people to FEEL things, be it bad or good, the objective is to never let indifferent. I should say, for the moment, for what I've listen, he manages to fulfill the thing ;)

[@AniDiveReverse]

I remember watching this episode, not knowing Kevin worked on it and it took like 3 seconds to know

[@yesyesyesyes4923]

The fact that the Made in Abyss composer made this makes me so happy

[@toaster_boi]

Emi's vocals were the final blow to my emotions

[@porgi2436]

I think what many people are missing, and its understandable because you have to really be into star wars to know this, is that she had a Yellow lightsaber. Yellow lightsabers were used by Jedi Sentinels, the most rare and most powerful type of Jedis. Even strongest siths were wary of those that wielded yellow lightsabers. Jedi Sentinels also were pictured as those that brought balance. They also were feared by Jedi council, and they also didnt have a seat in Jedi council if I remember correctly (as Jedi Sentinels used some parts from dark side of force). Often Jedi Sentinels were exploring different cultures and siding with people and helping them in some basic activities or sometimes resolving conflicts. Thats why she probably ended up on this planet and learns about their culture, as by nature she is Jedi Sentinel and thats what they think is right to do. Also, fun addition, but Jedi Sentinels were known for enhancing their abilities with technology, which we see here too (the High Heels). So, when she showed her lightsaber color it made this moment so amazing for me, and also Kevin Penkin score made it so epic too. I think this OST perfectly captures what I would think of being Jedi Sentinel theme :D Also when the villain in this episode asked F 'What are you?! Some kind of a monster?!" it probably is because, as I assume, he never saw person wield yellow light saber before (there were only few of them). I assume he knew about Jedis etc. but never saw this type of Jedi, thats why he thought of F being a monster. When Order 66 happened, elimination of Jedi Sentinels was priority, and we know that their number (from already small number) was reduced even more, to only max 5. Some people theorized F is last Jedi Sentinel left but we got mention of one in Star Wars Rebels too. I assume her mark on her face comes from the surviving order 66. I know this probably won't happen, but I would love separate series, or even light novel about F and maybe diving more into that mysterious faction of Jedis known as Jedi Sentinels.

[@jessetafel1495]

11:00-11:51 is a masterpiece

[@tylernash6019]

all the visions music is good but i am obsessed with this one in particular. gives me chills

[@Robert-vk7je]

Everytime

[@InfiniteAura]

That is called the Penkin effect. You have been effected and now well, you can’t leave. Welcome to bliss

[@jackmayor3574]

Classic Kevin Penkin, listen to his Made in Abyss soundtrack it's unbelievably good

[@windhale3317]

Amazing suite… My favorite soundtrack in Visions

[@BigDave58]

The soundtrack itself made this episode be in my top 3 out of all 9 episodes

[@ageekywriter]

The village bride short and this music was more than enough for me to want to write scripts and stories for these characters. (I GUESS I'LL SETTLE FOR FANFICTION FOR NOW.)

[@gracecalis5421]

I've had to make do with Samuel Kim's cover for MAGINA x FORCE, which by its own right was friggin fantastic as well, don't get me wrong. But the actual composition made by Penkin is what I was really after, and by god it's just as beautiful and goosebump-enducing as when I first heard it when I watched the episode for the first time. The drop at 11:24 will never cease to give me chills.

[@AskonDBZ]

yeah, it makes me a little sad that kim's version always get the vast majority of the attention

[@Jump_Shock]

@@AskonDBZ that’s crazy because I always get Samuel Kim’s version but i randomly found this version too which is amazing, why does KZbin keep hiding stuff

[@happyradish6886]

The violin and cello at 2:05 is freaking amazing and adds so much to this. I like to call it “dirty strings” whenever I hear something like it. I love it because it brings an eerie feel to the piece and I’m obsessed

[@Calgray720]

Same, first hearing it I thought of it as a rusty violin. Very haunting and beautiful

Everything positive that could possibly have been said about this score has already been said and *I back all of it with my entire being.* I'm just hoping like all frick that one of these days someone is going to come along and make a rendition of this score's main theme *except it's the NieR: Automato* *_boss battle_* *version of this score's theme!* Imagine a version of MAGINA X FORCE where the part at 10:13 kicks up to about 1.25 bpm and has that flurry of violins joined with those pulse-pounding charging drums, not unlike the kind that are utilized in 'Grandma - Destruction' and *_'A Beautiful Song'_* from the NieR: Automata OST!!! And why stop there? There was a version of this theme that _Samuel Kim Music_ made where they managed to work some music from Made In Abyss into the rendition. Why not make a NieR: Automata Boss Battle version of this suite's main theme that has *_'Dawn'_* from the Final Fantasy XV OST worked in which seque's into the bit at 11:25!!!?? Don't get it twisted. I freaken love the score as it is...but I want to hear the version of it that's in my head!!!
