Let me toss out my FAVORITE low-key awesome moment of this episode:
When Kara comes in and SEES HIM WITH IT and says: "Hey! You did it! You finished the lightsabers!"
Her dad HANDS her the BLUE ONE in his hand and it turns grey/clear in hers as he gives that explanation... and THEN.... she is staring at its blade and says: "I wonder what color it will be when a real Jedi holds it.....
*The camera cuts back to her dad who is watching over his shoulder and he offers this- knowing smile on the beat of the melody...*
Guys -- she doesn't even realize her Dad is one. Like... it doesn't click with her. It takes a Jedi to make sabers. Her dad blocked that shot with his hand. The Margrave asked her dad to build them cause he knew her dad could do it.
But Kara has romanticized the "jedi" and doesn't see how strong the force is in her own family.... but..... her dad knew all along. And that's *that* look. SO GOOD.
I would absolutely love some backstory on Kara's father and Juro's relationship and how they knew each other in the past
Yeah, that moment was that good stuff. He just low-key throws her that smile like "Yeah, I wonder." And, to then pay that off after she has been seen clearly utilizing the saber at a quite high level, and have hers turn green mid-combat when she gets her little surge of power. That shit was so good. This is by far my favorite episode from Visions. I would love a stand alone of this.
@@chasecaldwell2335 Maybe Juro was the Master and her Father was his Padawan. But because of the Purge, they hid and lived normal lives, until a new generation of Force Users appeared.
I didn’t even catch that! It just further cements how this is my favourite episode!
@@MexicAnime Which purge do you mean cuz this is wayyyyyyy after any movies
Imagine if when Anakin and Obi wan were fighting and you see Anakin's light sabre turn red as they fight, what a moment that would have been.
It turns red when he kills the younglings
please his lightsaber would have turned red well before that.
YES. sure, he is long past the point of turning when Obi-Wan finally finds him on mustafar, but just imagine the dread of us all watching when the moment comes where his blade shifts!
or the triumphant moment at the end, (if it hadn't been lost before that) when Vader turns a now bright blue blade towards the emperor in the final confrontation in Return of the Jedi.
This episode is the embodiment of "Your eyes can deceive you; don't trust them" especially with Margrave Juro. Also, The Ninth Jedi might be my favorite one. I'd love for it to have a series or a miniseries, but damn was it great! Also, shockingly brutal with all the deaths.
This and The Duel deserve a whole series each.
Yup
The duel will have a novel about the ronin, star wars vision novel: ronin, i don’t know about the ninth jedi maybe in the future? Let’s hope
I don't feel like The Duel deserves a series, but I think it does deserve a full-length stand-alone movie.
yes! They were my favourite episodes of the season!
@@DoremiFasolatido1979 a full length movie about Ronin would be great!
"I saw the musical" "I read the comic" - most accurate descriptions yet.
It's called a magnetic shield! It's essentially a bubble of energy around the space station that holds in an atmosphere. THAT'S how they're breathing. It's the same principle as the hangers on starships.
I love that this episode can kind of sit in several indeterminable eras that haven't been touched on by Star Wars lore, yet.
I also adore the colors responding to the user mechanic. We need more of that!
Apparently the people who made it have said that it plays so long after the movies that how to make lightsabers has become a lost art
They're breathing there the same way they breathe on Starship hangers: forcefields. A technology so easy to make in the Star Wars Universe even a Gungan can do it.
And star wars has always taken place in a mysterious not-vacuum where sound travels just fine, casual breathing in what LOOKS like open space is nothing compared to that.
@@wewoor Beg your pardon but no it doesn't. If an entity that could survive in outer space were present in a Star Wars space battle they wouldn't actually hear anything. The sound effects are just that, effects. Same as the music. Do you think we're supposed to assume the characters have a live band following them around?
According to Star Wars Explained, one of the original ideas for Return of the Jedi was for Luke's lightsaber to turn red when Darth Vader ignited it on the Forest Moon, but the idea never made it into the final film.
This was absolutely my favorite episode. Isn't this the only one that actually tries to explore an unestablished era of Star Wars? I love that. Disney, who is of course reading Previewed's comment section: PLEASE MAKE THIS SHOW.
Kenji Kamiyama has said he already has the whole story mapped out, if Disney greenlights a series
I will cry tears of joy if it happens
I feel like this was easily the most solid episode
Episodes five and eight are the only ones I'm interested in seeing more
@@Pinkielover Really, no love for The Duel?
@@17thknight that one was kinda cool but there was little to no substance
this is definitely my favourite, in spite of white bread Ethan it really did feel like a pilot episode to a series I want more of. I did like the lightsaber trick...did prefer the translucent saber too I thought it was more visually cool, would've actually preferred the Margrave to keep the mask as well. But it was brilliantly paced, the music was really strong and Kara is a really good protagonist in that she wasn't immediately bestowed with power, instead she's been practically raised around Jedi culture by being the saber smith's daughter and cared for by the Margrave. Four-Nines also a great droid design too.
Also appreciate that they made Homen with the purple lightsaber the one most susceptible to darkness as a nod to how Mace Windu utilizes Dark Side techniques in his combat
Well ethan is literally just a plot device to hide that the others are Sith, a show would probably waste time on him though.
Jay's Disappointed Dad Stare (tm) straight into the camera is giving me life today. 🤣
I come back to watch this reaction just for that moment. XD
This is my favorite episode. I also like The Duel and The Elder.
Yep top 3, not sure of the order. I think I liked The Elder the most.
AH FINALLY YOURE GETTING TO THIS EPISODE!! this was my favourite for sure!
I was saying the exact same thing at the end of watching this. "I WANT A MOVIE OR SERIES, DISNEY!" Also, Jay, as a fellow orange saber wielder, I admire and respect your choice. There are but few of us but we are strong. :)
This could be so good, the personality reflecting lightsaber feels like something that should have been a part of the franchise since the beginning. (but im still on board with standard lightsabers being around cause it can lead to cool situations like in the first episode of visions.)
Just think, this could have been episode 7 with Luke revealed as the Margrave.
That would be such a good idea, Luke having to rebuild the order while fighting off remnants of the inquisitors and other sith
Yep. And Cara could be little Rey. So much better
Yeah, a really solid 20 minute movie…
That would have been so awesome. If only. If only.
If Ethan had had red-green color blindness, Kara would be on her way to becoming the 8th Jedi.
This would be an amazing show for sure. Live-action, animated. I'll take it any way I can get it.
The Ninth Jedi, with lightsaber maker Shang Chi and Hiro from "Heroes" as Ethan the adorkable Jedi kid
I want this episode turned into its own series so bad, you have no idea
"The Ninth Jedi" and I think, personal preference, "Lop and Ocho" deserve full series.
if i had to pick two it would be ninth jedi and the duel, but lop and ocho close third
I love the light saber extension sound when the camera turns showing the temple to now look like a light saber it's self those little details are always fun
I'd gladly trade the sequels for a series (or two) of this.
Special note. In canon it isn't only Kyber crystals used in star wars, they're the most common in Ilum but there are a whole bunch of different types of crystals, even pearls, used in their construction. I'm sure we'll get more of those flavors at some point.
You guys' reactions are so in line with how in awe I was of this episode. It introduced an almost completely new concept for how a wielder's blade color is determined, and by proxy could open up future projects to a whole array of other colors if they ever pursued a "New age of Jedi" type story line with young blood. Would be an excellent opportunity for them to retcon the old ones and just be like "Well actually, we discovered that the blade color is displayed based on the wielder's intent." Also, old boi turning that saber from red to green with the little halo literally gave me chills. What a scene. What an episode. Easily my favorite out of the run and totally has enough of a foundation for a whole spinoff. Fantastic writing and storytelling.
Same fellas! Give us a series. Loved how the planted jedi became consumed by all the darkness around him. Great, great concept for the sabers. Tempered Kyber crystals!
“It doesn’t make any sense! BUT I LOVE IT!!” should be on a T-shirt
"Rule of Cool" definitely applies
This was my favorite episode of visions by far, fits pretty nicely within the universe and this episode had by far the best plot of all the visions episodes
This one episode left me with SO many questions that I WANT ANSWERS TO, DANGIT.
- Why are lightsabers so rare?
- What happened to the Jedi and the Sith?
- Who’s Margrave Juro, and what’s his deal?
- What happened to the Republic?
- What do the colors mean?
- What happens next?
Been looking forward to this! Watching your reactions is like watching the show for the first time all over again.
For the record the color changing depending on the force user wielding it is how Kyber crystals work, that’s why ashoka’s second lightsaber is a yellow green, and why mace windew’s is purple. The crystals are colorless until picked up
2:57 100% disagree. A short isn't just a tiny movie, its a different medium entirely.
Also the praise for exposition and then forgetting/ignoring it not even a minute later lol
At the big Reveal: Jay = This is the most amazing thing I have ever seen! Adam = I am annoyed that I didn't see this amazing thing coming.
On one hand, the colour switching allows for incredible reveals like the sith igniting their sabers and Kara’s saber turning green. On the other hand, it only really works because Star Wars morality is so cartoonishly simple to the point you can literally colour code people’s level of goodness
I mean, it's not THAT simple, even if it is pretty simple overall. There's grey morality, and those colors reflect those who aren't light or dark side. Purple, yellow, and gray sabers. What would be interesting is how the colors change with someone who is more nuanced, like an anti-hero or anti-villain. It's a simple and neat storytelling device. Imagine seeing new colors and trying to figure out what it means. Imagine a person who has mood swings change saber colors frequently. Maybe there's a personality that gets you invisible blades, which can be a tactical advantage. It could lead to the discovery of force sensitive clones or droids when they grab one of the sabers. There's lots of things you can do with how these particular sabers operate, and it can definitely play on more complex themes.
There are so many cool ideas here, so many directions they can go. The only question that remains is how long. Not if, but how long, before they screw it up.
In KOTOR they used kyber crystals as well for the colour of the blades however you could also use other gems and the like in addition to kyber crystals to give your blade/lightsaber different attributes and abilities.
Yes, I thought the same! That looked like Force Absorption vs Force Drain from the Jedi Knight games.
Thank you!!!!! Finally, someone else remembers the Jedi Academy games.
I believe that this way of doing saber colour. was actually an idea George was playing around with in 6. The scene where vader takes lukes saber when he's caputed on Endor, when he turns it on Lucas was playing with the idea of it being red because vader was touching it. But went the other way. so that's a supper nice nod from this short, shows they genuinely know their star wars deep history.
Though I personally prefer the Kyber Crystal being something that has it's own colour, and chooses you, like it is now. Plus we still get a slight thing of this, in that the only way to get a red blade is to bleed your crystal. so there's kind of an element of the colour reflecting you in both counts.
This episode was my favorite too. I hope they make a full series out of this storyline.
I also love how the only two characters who’ve handled lightsabers before whooped ass. The sith knew how to fight but weren’t practiced so they fell easier. I feel like that’s why Ethan is so lame lol he probably has much more force skill and will be able to help Kara there where she’ll teach him how to not be a limp noodle in battle. I’m here for this whole episode
I absolutely loved the new lightsaber-color lore. Imagine for a moment a massive Jedi/Sith battle. No one from either side can pick up a saber from a fallen fighter and pass themselves as someone from the opposing side, cause the lightsaber will change colors and immediately give them away. It makes it really easy to tell who's who in the heat of the battle.
This was by far my favorite of the episodes. It leaves you wanting more and it does such a great job setting/telling a story.
"They're all rats." nice reference
The downside to a lightsabers color refelecting the users connection to the force, is that general grievous would have colorless sabers, the dark blade might not exist, and you lose out on sith/jedi spies infilitrating each other. Thou i guess you could frame the darkblade as a mandalorian hack or something like they brute forced it.
Pretty sure these lightsabers are specifically like that because of how the sabersmith tempered the crystals. Regular sabers don't do that.
@@ShadeSlayer1911 no shit sherlock... If i remember right the comment was in regards to something they said along the lines of "What if lightsabers always reflected the alignment of the user" like it was a standard part of star wars lore and not just a one off in this episode.
The music in this particular episode is epic as well
I really liked the pacing of the 4th episode! It lets you settle into the scenes and allows you to be there instead of just telling you everything outright.
Fun fact, Vader, Dooku, and Kanan all have light sabers that can change their length.
I feel like I've been waiting forever for you guys to drop this episode. Easily the best episode 😁
I needed this as a star wars fan, its perfect, every new star wars media is either a prequel or sequel, this is the first genuine beginning in the star wars media in a long time
i totally agree with the lightsaber thing, where like we're originally introduced to them as basically magic swords only jedi and sith have, but we're told they're basically just a regular sword with some mechanical instruments inside of it, it's sort of like midichlorians, like why add chunky science into a fantasy story
Definitely one of the Episodes that deserve a continuation - if not - an entire Series. Same goes with The Duel and Lop and Ocho
At first I thought the symbol on the one dudes cape was the Ahsoka symbol that her clone legion had.
This was and will be for a long time. My favourite star wars anything
This one and The Duel were my favorites. I love the color changing premise here. Just GREAT!
This needs to be made into a series!!
The crystals already do reflect the user in Disney canon, it's just that it over the course of meditation with the crystal. But in The Ninth Jedi, her father did say all that hammering of the crystal he was doing was him treating it to be more responsive towards the one using it, which I'd guess the skill of being able to do is what sets a Sabersmith apart of just any old Jedi making a lightsaber.
One of the neat things about Visions, is that for all of basically being given a blank check towards not having to adhere to canon, most seemed to of put in effort towards being able to slide right into it easily enough. The only really out there one was The Twins, and even that can largely be explained by a mixture of them being modified in their creation and just how most of that over the top power was just channeling the power of the crystals. The stuff they were doing before that wasn't totally out of line of the kinda things Vader gets up to in the comics.
Seriously need a full series from this episode!
Lynette Crystals can be found in many worlds. There is a old Jedi proverb, “The brightest stars have hearts of Kyber.” Now you don’t need only Kyber, my favorite crystal is Adegan. They can even grow natural red.
I feel like this one feels the most STAR WARS out of all of Visions. A lot of the episodes were fun and good, but a lot of them were fun despite feeling more like someone made a cool episode, then slapped on a few lightsabers for the Star Wars paint and that was it, but this really felt like it could have come from the canon.
And it had a lot of cool ideas. And it circumvented a lot of the issues with the more modern Star Wars shows where people wonder how the fuck a total noob who has never had a lightsaber in their life could suddenly beat the best in the galaxy. Here it makes a lot more sense, since the Lightsaber was forgotten so NOONE (except the Margrave) had any training in that.
I'm with you on this. I want a full series of this episode.
"The Duel" and "The Ninth Jedi" are stories ripe for expansion.
The duel is part of the book ronin!
@@michaelenslein5758 I would love to read that!
Been patiently waiting for you to get to this episode. Definitely the best one for me.
Well, Jay wanted more lightsabers and he got 'em.
Actually, the studio who did this said the wrote The Ninth Jedi as a pilot episode.
Along with the first one...EPIC...True thing, a full show of this animation art, awesome to see.
This episode was so refreshing, we need this type of story make into a trilogy, maybe episodes X, XI and XII could use some of this ideas, the lightsabers changing color to the users force connection is probably the greatest idea a Star Wars show has ever had, and you don't even need to eliminate the secuels as much as I want them Filoni and Favreau do, but they can start the next trilogy so ahead in the future that there's no republic nor empire, nor first order or nothing, just remembrances of old believes, like this. Disney is sitting in a pot of gold with this episode
Dave Filoni needs to get behind the Ninth Jedi.
This episode could easily be the starting point for an animated series or even live action. It seems like it could be set long after the films, centuries or even thousands of years and that easily explains the differences in lightsaber function and how they're made. This is what SW really needs. Jumping into a time period far removed from what we know means you can create your own canon and lore without messing too much with what's been established elsewhere. If Rian had taken his TLJ script, changed all the names, and set it in another time, nobody would've gotten upset.
I don't think they are breathing in space. You see in the movies standing in the docking areas with shields. So it's probably some kind of shield that covers a whole area.
the tap strafing jokes had me rolling lmfao
I agree with Jay!! I NEED THIS TO BE A SHOW!!!
the platform has it's own atmosphere Jay. LOL
As with most reactors I feel these are getting picked apart BECAUSE they're Star Wars related. Any other anime, no body would care they're in space fighting without helmets. I could be wrong, but a lot of other reactors that do watch anime as well have even admitted as much. Non the less, I still enjoy your videos the most. Always nail it and make me laugh! Keep it up guys
Yeah, a bunch of these felt like pilots for full shows. Especially this one by Production I.G., The Elder by Trigger, and Lop & Ocho by Geno Studio. The Elder was probably the most solid for me.
You could have fleshed this out...have the opening narration be a crawl...and make this a stand-alone movie....like they were planning to do before the sequel trilogy crapped the bed. Or make it a series. It wouldn't be hard at all. There is so much potential in this little short. Felt so much like Star Wars to me...almost more than Mando.
Yes, this story deserves a show!!!!!
If I were to make one suggestion to Jay, I would say "drop the word 'full' on the 'edited reaction' part of the pre-show schtick"
This episode is great for the spectacle, but it is low key one of the best when it comes to story-telling. It was directed by an extremely talented group of people who knew exactly how to make a good story. No jumping the shark, no speeding through the boring parts, nothing. Everything took exactly as much time as it needed and no less.
This one and The Duel are my favorites! There are a few more that I really liked but these two are at the top.
Of all the episodes, this is the world I hope we see again!
You gentlemen are majestic beings
This & the first one were my favs of the whole series.
Also: I do like the Sith lightsaber lore for new canon. It’s really neat.
This was easily the best of the series. And I really want to see a full series of it.
I love how this also ties into already established canon. Nowadays siths sabers are red because the sith broke and corrupted the crystal making it bleed. So the crystal always were influenced by the user just the old ones with out the fathers modification stayed on their first users impression. Ashokas lightsabers are white because she cleansed and healed a Siths crystal
I to like this change it makes the lightsaber more unique to its user and actually requires some level of force ability to use it
Also shields is how they breath in space
This is one of the best ones but I think my absolute fave is The Elder. The shorts kinda get better as you go along.
For a second there I thought Omni-Man is going to show up...
Hoover boards work on water if they have power
I completely agree with the color changing due to the wielder. it is a great idea. That is how it should work moving forward.
And yes, You really hit the nail on the head at 14:30. DISNEY! listen to this!
Fun fact: nearly every commentator/reactor/reviewer as the perfect pilot for the next SW trilogy/tv-series they think SW production(Disney) should make.
Jay looking deep into the soul of Disney and I am here for it!
I just watched this episode and came straight here to see what you guys thought lol!
I want this show too! The saber colors are very cool but imo would make weilders’ conflict way more obvious. Like, would it have been good for 4,5,6? Also, Mace Windu and his purple saber got some splainin to do! 😉
Right please let these become full on series please!
The Kieber crystals in current cannon are sentient and do help choose there owner and wielder and color. And the sith bleed the crystal bending it to their will is why it's red. And the reason ashokas are white is because she freed her crystals from a sith thus purifying them
I hope this episode gets a part 2
Totally agree with Jay... Disney, get on that will you? Like immediately?
