This was EXACTLY what I wanted when I first heard about Visions.
So what did I want? An original take on Star Wars with new stories, widely different in visuals and content, which are not connected to the main saga and feel fresh and unique without being lore-breaking or "generic sci-fi" : in some other episodes I got the impression the creators knew nothing of Star Wars other than "there are lightsabers".
The deceptively simple art style is moody and effective; the dark final twist left me speechless. I was expecting something cozy and safe, the speed-run version of the Hero's Journey, and I got a Star Wars horror short with an unsettling ending. Neat.
Well played Cartoon Saloon, this took some guts... I'm kind of surprised it was greenlit to be honest.
