We spoke w/ StarWarsVisions Vol. 2 executive producers James Waugh, Jacqui Lopez, and Josh Rimes about the themes that connect each short in the anthology.
With the introduction of Star Wars: Visions in 2021, Star Wars fans got a taste of what their favorite franchise could look like through the lens of Japanese storytellers. Now with Star Wars: Visions Volume 2, Lucasfilm has brought in animators from around the world to craft short films which casts an even broader net around what a galaxy far, far away could look like infused with the vibrant—and sometimes tragic—cultural components in a very authentic way.
WAUGH: Alright, well, I'm curious about that, too, but I think all of them, is the truth. All of them have the potential of doing that, I think, and I've said this a few times actually, I think it's a testament to the filmmaking. It's a testament to each one of these creators who had something to say, had a real character story that they needed to tell, and I think we're all deeply invested in those characters.
WAUGH: I'm sure you'll say the same thing; we work in the story trade all day long. We love building stories, deconstructing them, and finding like, why does the story work? Why doesn't it? How does the story reflect the character change, or say something? And so, it's hard not to not be dissecting narrative stories. It's what we do, it's what we love.
I am speaking to my people then. Something I really appreciated at the heart of Visions Volume 2, each of the shorts seemed to be about that struggle between light and dark rather really blatantly, or even in subtle ways like, “I Am Your Mother.” Peer pressure is kind of the dark side, in essence for that short.
