Of course, beyond lightsabers, there were other elements of the Star Wars galaxy that Blaas and the El Guiri Studios team wanted to include to make the story more authentic. “I really wanted to dig in and make something that felt real, like you were inhabiting that space, especially through how we showcased technology,” Blaas says. “One of the things that I love in Star Wars is that certain props or sets don't work quite right, requiring someone to hit it, like the Millennium Falcon’s engine. These are the small things that make those characters human and relatable.” The visual style of the short is, indeed, incredibly distinctive within the galaxy at large, utilizing a coarse, painterly approach to its worldbuilding. Both Lola’s and the Sith Master’s lightsabers are sputtering and dripping with paint, and the world that surrounds their duel is constantly shifting, like an artist’s canvas. On creating this style for his story, Blaas’ goal was to have Lola’s world be completely linked to the story’s rich visuals. Blaas says, “We wanted to have a character that was so connected to her art and to painting that we could physically show her process: how she wakes up and gets inspiration. She uses the Force and other elements of the Star Wars mythology to form her own world, her own safe bubble.” Lola frequently manipulated her casing in various ways to emote, including flapping her decorative wing panels, as well as responding to both conversation and direct commands through beeping. Lola was a great and loyal friend to all kindhearted people around her, especially to Leia Organa and the rest of her masters. She would show the courage to protect and help them in the face of danger, although this would usually end in failure. But Lola's personality and valiance always spread hope to the ones around her, as she did for Obi-Wan Kenobi, and the innocents traveling The Path. [ source?] Equipment [ ] Toy droid [ ]

Deborah Chow] didn't even pitch the entire show to me, but just said, 'There's a little girl and she's going to have this droid that's like a toy or companion. This would be the baby version of R2-D2." ―Jon Borland [11] Wars: Very light on the war front here! The focus is on a bear-like alien species that mines kyber crystals for lightsabers. Except, all the kyber has been corrupted by Sith and need to be cleansed by Jedi.

Wars: Lola’s old Sith master finds her and hunts her down with a group of Sith cronies. It’s not a full-on war exactly, but it is a very heated battle. Stars: The bulk of this one takes place on a distant planet outpost, so we don’t see too many stars. However, the final moments involve Lola, the main character, blasting away into space, the full expanse of the galaxy unfolding before her. Emotions are understandably high for everyone in the moments between the final demise of the Death Star and the wedding of Leia and Han, and author Beth Revis does a great job diving into those small but impossibly human moments after a brutal moment in war.

Does it work? “Journey to the Dark Head” is probably the most traditional Star Wars of all these shorts, starting with a prophecy, set in the midst of a war, and ending with a big battle between a Jedi and a Sith. Still, the characters themselves are refreshing — the broody young Jedi and the scrappy pilot just have a lot of spark on their own and with each other — and that alone is enough to really carry the short. “The Spy Dancer” The Star Wars L0-LA59 (Lola) Animatronic Edition from Hasbro's Star Wars collection lets kids and fans alike bring home a beloved droid companion. This Star Wars toy features design and deco inspired by the Obi-Wan Kenobi live-action series on Disney+.

At some point the Force-sensitive Lola came under the tutelage of a Sith Master named Kutu, and pledged her allegiance to him. Ultimately she broke her promise, and fled her master's company. [1] Moving on [ ] Does it work? This one is the darkest of all the shorts, with an on-screen good guy death that is particularly heartrending. But at the same time, because the protagonists are so low (literally: they are in a pit), the eventual victory feels particularly cathartic. Like “In the Stars,” this one focuses on people rising up and triumphantly overthrowing the Empire. Unlike “In the Stars,” there are a lot of characters so it takes on a more macro view, which may or may not work depending on if you like more relationship-driven narratives. “Aau’s Song” Jacqui Lopez [vice president of production at Lucasfilm and executive producer of Visions] gave me a call and let me know about this second volume of Visions,” recounts Blaas to StarWars.com. While Volume 1 of Visions had been comprised of the work of nine different Japanese animation studios, this new season would open the anthology up to the entire world. Nine new global studios would be part of Volume 2, with Spain's El Guiri Studios among them.
