There’s been a level of greatness with the last few Star Wars Visions shorts that I wasn’t sure could continue, but Geno Studio’s “Lop & Ochō” carries the stride forwards, with its universal themes of found family familiar to the Saga, compelling story, and the unique position of putting a non-human character into the focus via Lop.

Droids and their place in the galaxy has always been a complicated subject that’s mostly lacked nuance in the Saga, and while Science SARU’s first Star Wars Visions short, “TO-B1,” doesn’t necessarily touch on the conversation, it does offer better representation for the galaxy’s most reliable heroes that always go unrewarded.

Every short in Star Wars Visions has a unique take on the galaxy far, far away, though out of all of them, Studio Colorido’s “Tatooine Rhapsody” seemed like the biggest swing: the band Star Waver must rescue one of its members from Jabba the Hutt and Boba Fett. For me, it worked better than expected and provided a good uplifting time, even if it all felt surface deep. Continue reading “Star Wars Visions Review: “Tatooine Rhapsody””
