Star Wars Visions: The Village Bride Theme | 1 HOUR VERSION

[@samuelkimmusic]

Honestly I'm still thinking about "The Village Bride" and the emotional impact the soundtrack and "Efu" had on me... It was only a 20 minute short film but it was so beautiful and breathtaking. I would seriously love to see "The Village Bride" turned into a full series! Also check out the amazing artwork done by @5healthMONO twitter.com/5healthMONO/status/1443170478546243584

[@AcZe1188]

this episode literally only had a minute of action, but the build up to the said action was just so well done that the minute action felt like half of the episode.

[@wolfitom]

A well told story has only a few moment of action to make it more intense ! That's why I don't like super hero movies like Avengers etc...

This whole episode just HIT. DIFFERENT. As soon as I heard the music and the slower pace I was like “this is gonna be a GEM”

It’s my favorite episode, everything about it felt like an experience, I rewatched it with my little brother at our parents house on their home theater and it might have been better the second time

[@SandraXimen4]

[@davidromero7786]

What are you writing?

[@EChacon]

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 everything from the short for not only the animation, story and it's characters but for the soundtrack composed by Kevin Penkin with vocals by Emi Evans that can either be warm, quiet, majestic and epic, I literally got emotional listening to Emi's voice in several scenes throughout the episode. Say what you will on the Masked Female Jedi (F) story being "Done" and that the short needs no continuation, but I would love to see more of the character in a potential Anime series besides _The Ninth Jedi_ and _Lop & Ochō_

[@marcksman7896]

I loved the Duel and that's one of my favorites but The Village Bride was one of the most beautiful shorts I've ever seen. not to mention this score is out of this world in a galaxy far far away.

[@IIxCOCOxII]

Watched Visions, and then i rewatched the 4 last episodes of Clone Wars. 2 Masterpieces. My favourite SW moments.

[@EChacon]

@Keshuel No need to Sound negative, I still loved Village Bride on the connections of the Force, the main character (F) not trying to reveal most of her Identity after she remains in hiding following Order 66 and saving the day to save Haru and Saku from Lord Izuma.

[@idofx8722]

@@marcksman7896 Made by Kevin Penkin God of OSTs so yeah.

[@ANameToGoBy]

Man, I'm such a fucking nerd. I was near tears when F says, "Magina, may you rise. And may the Force be with you." Asami Seto, a Japanese VA I love (Rising Shield Hero - Raphtalia, Jujutsu Kaisen - Nobara Kugisaki) and the English Dub VA, Karen Fukuhara ( She-ra & the Princesses of Power - Glimmer) deliver this line SO well. The music build up, the expressionism in the animation, the story---it just got me man. And while the English Dub was great, hearing the Japanese line of "may the Force be with you" was just game changing for me. This series was everything I wanted growing up. Two of my favourite things: Star Wars and Anime. Thanks for this hour loop, I'm DEFINITELY going to be listening to this quite a bit.

[@vdbeull9424]

I am still somewhat disturbed by the impact this episode had on me. I didn't expect anything special from Visions, despite Japan and SW being some of the things I love the most. But in my opinion, this episode manages to achieve a perfect mix between the visual and musical beauties of Japanese animation and the SW universe. Shinto, the Japanese variant of animism, is probably one of the most significant inspirations for the creation of the Force. The Jedi were clearly inspired by the fighting monks particularly present in Japanese history (unlike European history). So seeing a Jedi wielding a lightsaber like a katana is really one of the things I dreamed of seeing. The icing on the cake is that the Jedi in question, Efu, speaks little but manages to be endearing due to her trauma and her self-build to be reborn as a Jedi. Maybe I analyze a little too much, but the intonation of her "Watashi wa Jedi" lets perceive this emotion in her to be able to be herself for the first time since order 66. She may be facing an enemy, but she does not say that with a combative or determined air, she simply says, calmly and with newfound serenity, what she is.

[@ArcNine9Angel]

Same in English in my opinion, you're the first person I've seen so far to mention the intonation, and I totally agree, loved the way it was said in tune to the music, it was heartwarming

[@strifehp]

Probably my favorite episode in Visions. The visuals, the story of a Jedi connecting to the planet of her former master and rekindling her will to fight, the mystery of her past, and the concept of “the force is in all living beings” and how the people in this world connect to it in their way (as someone mentioned before). All supported greatly by the amazing score that makes the moments it is used in more emotional. It grabbed my attention from the start and had me completely on board at the end.

[@derrickmun2215]

Agreed, this episode very relaxing and peaceful.

[@thestormcraft4012]

"There is no emotion, there is peace. There is no ignorance, there is knowledge. There is no passion, there is serenity. There is no chaos, there is harmony. There is no death, there is only the force." Young padawan you have remembered and truly understood the teachings of your master.

This was by far my favorite episode of the season. if any of the episodes deserved a continuation, it was this one. F has such a cool character design and id really love to see more of her story. They could explore her Master's connection to the planet, her life as a Padawan and Forging her very unique Lightsaber, where she got those cool shoes that helped her move so fast, how her master died in the Purge, her running from the Inquisitors and the PTSD associated with all that, making the mask to help hide from the Sith, meeting Valco and learning of his connection to her Master and the planet, and whatever happens to her after she chooses to stop hiding. This show deserves far more than its gotten so far, i REALLY hope a season 2 is in the works.

The village bride was easily my favorite episode because of the music, I’m glad that this has been extended

[@wheeliebin18]

This single 15 minute episode is, without doubt, the finest thing to come out of Disney owning the Star Wars licence. To encapsulate the essence of what it is to be a Jedi; restraint, skill, a battle against fear, control, a sense of right, reluctance to relinquish the old ways, a belief in the Force.... A whole story, told in 15 minutes, with us wanting so much more of this Jedi's story, that was how it was to watch the OT.... it was just wonderful to have that feeling again.

I'll be honest this theme is one that I've been considering giving to my current D&D character. The pain, the sorrow and the hope that she's feeling has yet still wanting to do good and fight for what she believes in and what is left of her family and to protect the people that she never expected to become friends. And her dealing with her power and finding out who she is. I've struggled in finding one and this one defiantly seems to fit. I wasn't considering this one that much because your earlier one had the sound of a lightsaber but honestly I might go for it. What's better yet is that she's an elf so this singing could totally be in elvish or even another language.

They need to release the official OST. They just HAVE to. It'd be a crime not to do so.
