Star Wars Visions 2x9: Aau's Song | Reaction

[@CaptainJ62]

Like, I know these shorts aren’t canon, but I really need to see this idea of “the song of the force” or whatever expanded on in some way, it’s such a unique take on the force.

[@Dijon17]

Same!! I loved that too. Between the song in the last ep and the painting with the first I love how these stories creatively incorporate the force

[@xTehOwn]

in a way Avar Kriss can kinda hear the force and the other jedi as a form of song/music

[@feffermickel]

Rebels expanded so much of what was possible with the force, so one day we could see further canon expansions. This idea of resonance among kyber crystals is very beautiful.

[@BiasFree]

I really didn't think i was going to like this one as much as I did. It's one of my favorites from the season, it's very cute and wholesome.

[@aricaj.3006]

The vibe of this short felt very Ghibli-esque. It's definitely an atmosphere I wouldn't mind seeing more of in Star Wars, since it's honestly very compatible with the more fantasy-type elements of the universe. Also I want an Aau plushie now, she's so cute 😭

[@cajeb5396]

I need plushies of Aau, her dad, and the Jedi Kratu!!!

[@fusionaddict]

Isn't it canon that some people have force abilities that were very specialized, or that drive them in very particular directions? Like Bendu said, Ezra's ability to speak with animals. Or Quinlan Vos' psychokinesis. In Aau's case, she has another one of these rare secondary abilities, the ability to hear and feel the connection between all the kyber, and can synchronize their song with her voice to bring them back into harmony with the world and with each other.

[@brendansmith9946]

Force cleansing crystals must certainly exists. Ahsoka did it to two Inquisitor crystals and that's why her new sabers are white

[@catswithlasers]

This episode was very fun. It also showed us one of the ways you can cleanse a bled kyber crystal. Ahsoka cleansed her current crystals after she took them from an Inquisitor. Also, I liked how Aau heard the crystals singing. It reminds me of how Avar Kriss described the Force as a song she could hear. What an incredible season!

[@wolfpack_104]

The idea of using singing in order to harmonize/resonate with the crystals is such a novel idea, I'm surprised it hasn't been done sooner. An unexpectedly thought provoking episode to wrap up season 2.

[@Pidalin]

This episode reminds me all those free games on CDs from cereals or computer magazines we played when we were like 8-10 years old. 😀

[@KyleKatarnChannel]

I played the daylights out of the Captain Crunch game 🤣

[@Pidalin]

@@KyleKatarnChannel But that stop motion animation is really cute, I really enjoyed it, which was really surprise, I didn't expect anything from this episode, but at the end, pretty much all episodes in season 2 were great so I can't really say what was the best episode.

[@Dijon17]

I fuckin love that y’all call each other best friend before starting the vids. Lowkey it’s my fav part of the reactions 😍

[@ArmandoMPR]

This one and Screecher's Reach were the best, imo. This one was so wholesome and beautiful.

[@parkersaunders5698]

I would love to visit this planet in live action! Also this Jedi might be my new favourite! She has such a cool design

[@TheStorytellerWolf]

I need an Auu plush immediately :’)

[@supremefankai5480]

I'm glad they ended this season on an uplifting tone, still bittersweet with Aau having to leave her home, but I feel like despite the grim sense there is always hope for a better future.

[@tristanmilner9511]

I feel this was set after the Jedi-Sith war of 1032 BBY during the waning days of the Old Republic/Galactic Republic.

[@Mourtzouphlos240]

4:00 I thought you guys were serious Star Wars nerds. The Reverse process of Kyber Bleeding is Purifying. That's where we get White Lightsabers. We have 4 examples of purifying a lightsaber crystal in Canon although we haven't seen it "on screen". Ahsoka with her blades, Jora Melli had one, Orla Jareni had a folding saberstaff, and Luke purified a kyber for Komat.

[@Blazeor2]

You are right, normally a jedi (like Ahsoka) can clean one crystal after another with great afford, as told in the forewording. And those purified ones are WHITE not natural clear ... But Aau cleaned a whole Mountain, maybe the whole planet at once... THAT is the difference here. I think thats surprise Kyle and Bendu, not the fact of purifying.

[@auntvesuvi3872]

Thanks, Kyle! Thanks, Bendu! Thanks, Nerd Chronic! 🗣 #KyleKatarn #StarWars #StarWarsVisions #AausSong

[@HelloThere.GeneralKenobi]

With the variety of studios/countries/accents through this season there is so much potential for more and more seasons. There are also chances of some stories continued down the road. When we got the trailer, I prematurely thought that it would be my favorite episode. It was funny, but, this one stole my heart. I've already looked, sadly, there aren't any shirts available for any of this year's season. Hopefully soon.

[@gales5680]

This one has the comfiest art style and a spectacle on the background design. Regarding if this is stop motion. It's mostly not. The felt material on the characters, which apparently you can render out in Blender with a few shader tutorials, made a good impression as a stop motion production. Plus, some of the animation was done in 4s and 5s (meaning a frame of the character's movement stays for four, five or more frames instead having each frame unique. In most cases this is done to save budget and time to render the scene if it done in cgi or to save time if its stop motion.) which made it look more stop motion esque. Triggerfish Studios has mostly 3d animation works unless I'm wrong and this is their first stop motion production.

[@lisandro3614]

One hell of a season... and probably the best animated project on Star Wars so far.

[@jasonmarbach]

As dark and heavy as this (amazing; brilliant) season was, I’m so happy they closed on such a hopeful note. Really beautiful.

[@JAYWALKER1000]

So - if Au, confronted by a sith, sang and cleansed the crystal in their lightsaber - would it have any effect on the sith? Sound like we need a sequel.

[@Senbonzakura776]

This really had to be my favorite episode of them all. Totally loved the animation and story.

[@Maximum_Twang]

I've been waiting for this reaction from you guys. This was my favorite episode of the season, right up there with the bandits episode. The entire season was incredible. The dark themes that use star wars to somewhat emulate real history of the regions shown, incredible. So much of this season feel like they could even be cannon stories. I for one would absolutely love to hear more stories about these characters, especially bandits and aaus song.

[@neofulcrum5013]

This one was beautifully symbolic. Sometimes you gotta take a leap of faith and trust in those to find their voice.

[@aikozutigana8465]

This season of Visions just wrecked me. The strength of the storytelling in each episode was truly amazing and I honestly can't pick a favorite among the nine. But Aau's Song, oh gosh. It was just beautiful.

[@JoeFF85]

Crystal cleansing is totally already a thing. Ahsoka got her white lightsabers by cleansing the crystals from the Inquisitor she took down in Tales of the Jedi.

[@hobiewan79]

So fun watching your guys' reaction to this season of Visions. I loved every episode, including this one, though I think "Screecher's Reach" may be my favorite: absolutely beautiful, and so haunting... Here's hoping we get a third season!

[@tristanmilner9511]

18:11 that reminded me of a Babylon 5 quote, from an evil Emperor no less! "Do you know we assigned him one our best Pain technicians? - Pain technicians? They used to be called torturers. But ever since they got organized, it's 'pain technicians'."

[@DinoCam1795]

Fun fact: Aau’s story was inspired by co-director Nadia Darries’s life, in which she would sneak out to sing in rock bands in spite of her conservative father’s disapproval.

[@tomasjallen]

This episode together with the first one are my favourites.

[@Darth_Nycta_13]

Ahsoka cleansed the inquisitor's lightsaber crystals to use as her own (as they called to her)

[@Renkencen]

13:31 I am your Mother has no tragedy or does Ani confess that her mom is an emrassment count?

[@nerty6]

remember every jedi has a special with the force like cal with force echo. force sound

[@wolfpack_104]

I hadn't expected to really like the short film/commercial about admittedly adorable Star Wars plushies, but here we are. I'll take two please 😂

[@MikeBison_]

This whole season was honestly fantastic

[@agresticumbra]

I've said this before, but 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 they deal 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. Lastly, it is a universal theme, but I think ep8 was mainly based on the diamond mines in Africa.

[@jasonmarbach]

I need Aau to be canon and end up on Tanalorr, to survive there and learn until reappearing in proper canon later. I need it BAD. Such a unique and beautiful - maybe even vital - force specialization. And she’s so adorable and wholesome.

[@muhammadhabibieamiro3639]

Another amazing video and the finally is here

[@Mathieu_CHRC]

Awesome season, awesome episode. Thanks guys.

[@jonnyo3379]

This was my favorite of this season, the visuals were amazing, such a hopeful way to end Volume 2, and showed you don’t always need an enemy to fight/beat to create a powerful Star Wars story.

[@waldemargolebiewski5181]

This must sound amazing on very good headphones

[@jlokison]

I thinks you both might enjoy the extras for season 2 and each episode.

[@Bayard1503]

This was an amazing ending to the season.

[@votemonty1815]

I enjoyed this one. Dark Head was my favorite.

[@Olochgu]

How did you of all people not know that Ahsoka got her white crystals by cleansing an inquisitors red blade? You are so knowledgeable normally, so i'm very surprised at this.

[@Blazeor2]

Normally a jedi (like Ahsoka) can clean one crystal after another with great afford, as told in the forewording. But Aau cleaned a whole Mountain, maybe the whole planet at once... THAT is the difference here. I think thats surprise Kyle and Bendu, not the fact of cleansing.

[@Olochgu]

@@Blazeor2 3:42 - 3:51

[@FiggityJones]

Isn’t purifying the Kyber what Ahsoka did to get her White sabers?

[@ezrapark9992]

This one was especially cute and fuzzy. I love any well done Jedi youngling origin story We only have Anakin and Ashoka’s discovery story, and now we can add Aau’s story

[@rustynix993]

I suuuuuper duper loved this one. I liked 2, 6, and 9 the best this time around... and ironicly? I didn't expect those 3 to hit so good! :-D

[@JAYWALKER1000]

The inquisition what a show.......

[@bryanfoster362]

Season one had some hits and misses, but this season had no stinkers whatsoever. Great job! Can’t wait for season three 😁

[@johannesbowers7467]

This one has all the Nausicaa vibes...

[@G1Transformed]

16:41 that's the thing about crazy people, they don't know that they're crazy. Season 2 is hands down better than season one. Like you, there isn't a story that I didn't like this season. My favorites this season though are the Sith, Journey to the Dark Head and the Bandits of Golak. The stories were interesting sure, but I especially enjoyed their action sequences too. I hope some of these characters make their way into conical stories. I want to see more of a lot of these characters, even though he's dead, I want to see more of that Inquistor for the Bandits of Golak. What's his story?! I hope we get a season three and I hope the studios involved keep pushing the envelope.

[@elcantantedecorcho]

All this season has the advantage of already having a season 1, and also this is a more plural global multicultural season, since is from all over the world, while the last one was only from asia and anime. Not taking anything away from it but definetly this season is just better.

[@brandonfraterphoenixbowers]

I think season 2 were talking to everyone around the globe... of Earth. We have faced a hard global pandemic, the illegal war in Ukraine, global economic mess, etc. Facing the hard times face on is the only way because sooner or later, the sun with shine through the clouds of disappear. May the Force with us all... on our planet, Earth.

[@mikenelson1624]

❤✨🤍🌀😝💫🫶✨

[@hamhockbeans]

Ok....season 3 concussions to season 2.

[@ForceKyn]

Really enjoyed watching all the reactions from you guys but hopefully if theres a next season you guys wont read the episode descriptions before you watch because i feel like that just takes away a lot of the surprise element and ruins a bit of the experience.

[@vake1234]

i liked the 2nd season better, i like anime and japan stuff, but the first one didn't really feel like star wars for me sometime, even with good ideas.

[@HACUNA89]

I felt this was too weak and slow to end the series on. Ep3 should have anchored it.
