In "Aau's Song", Aau learns how to control her Force-infused singing, but has to leave home, and her father, to train as a Jedi. Depending on where in the timeline the episode takes place, this could end badly for her.

Abhishek Sharma of "We Got This Covered" awarded Volume Two four of five stars, stating that "George Lucas' thematic and symbolic understanding of Star Wars and its myths transcends reality in the second segment of Star Wars: Visions." Sharma praised the work of the animators and writers, describing the shorts' character shapes, designs, and distinct shades of colors as impeccable. He also praised the lightsaber duels in the shorts "Sith", "Journey to the Dark Head", and "The Bandits of Golak". Sharma praised "The Spy Dancer" for humanizing the "battle between dark light" and observed that "Aau's Song" imbued the mystical Force with physical traits. Sharma also praised the involvement of international animation studios for bringing elements and references to the stories which reflected their countries' culture, linguistics, traditions, and way of life.

Alternate Continuity: Even before their release, it was confirmed that these shorts are not necessarily canon for the Disney continuity or Legends. This was done so that each animation studio had more freedom when creating their stories without being hampered by continuity. Nonetheless, the shorts do broadly adhere to existing points in the timeline: title=>"Ahsoka", :url=>"https://www.starwars.com/news/category/ahsoka"} {:title=>"Disney+", :url=>"https://www.starwars.com/news/category/disney+"} Ahsoka Extras: “Part Eight: The Jedi, the Witch, and the Warlord”In "Tatooine Rhapsody", the main character's lightsaber is broken, and he eventually repurposes it as a microphone to show that he has moved on from his past. Visions: This is a charming almost slice-of-life story that has more to do with being a teenager with an embarrassing mother than it has to do with the Force, the Empire, or any other big powerful Star Wars thing. And it’s refreshing as hell! Maggie Lovitt of Collider gave Volume 2 an "A" rating, stating that it "delivers some of the most inspiring Star Wars stories of this decade, simply by blending together the beauty of a story-rich globe and setting it free among the stars." She also praised the second season for exploring stories in "corners of the galaxy" that did not involve familiar elements and characters such as lightsabers and the Skywalkers. Lovitt also praised three Volume 2 stories "I Am Your Mother", "The Spy Dancer", and "In the Stars" for emphasizing motherhood. She also gave a favourable review of "Sith" 's animation for capturing the mood and conflicts of the story. Lovitt also praised LeAndre Thomas' "The Pit" for blending art with storytelling and messaging. [46]

Since childhood I’ve been a fan of animation art books. I remember pouring over them endlessly, and being particularly drawn to how the final product started with hand drawn sketches and concept art. The Art of Star Wars: Visions provides this same type of experience, allowing readers to soak in all the creative work that goes into producing a series of this caliber. What sets this book apart is how it’s really nine art books in one, showcasing the beauty and diversity each studio brings to the series. Additionally, The Art of Star Wars: Visions is a vehicle to display the variety of art styles found in Japanese animation. Whether you’re new to Anime or you have a particular aesthetic preference, there’s something for everyone to enjoy with this book. The arrival of the Empire to planet Tao forces Lop, Ochо̄, and Yasaburo to make painful decisions that challenge their family. The colors of traditional hand-drawn anime posters infuse the design of a classic Star Wars poster in these gorgeous visuals." Die Wanna Wanga by Ryan Wood. Bib Fortuna wears a baby bib with the words " die wanna wanga" on it. I did this last time around, when the first season of Star Wars: Visions came out. This time, nine different animation studios from around the world participated with nine completely different shorts. While the first season really focused on the Jedi-Sith of it all, this new season reaches to the far corners of the galaxy far, far away and looks at many different facets of the Star Wars universe. Bring on the stars, the wars, and, most importantly, the visions. “Sith” TAKASHI OKAZAKI (Afro Samurai) is continuing his storytelling from the acclaimed STAR WARS: VISIONS episode “THE DUEL,” featuring the Ronin! The mythology of STAR WARS infused with elements of Feudal Japan makes this issue a MUST READ for STAR WARS and MANGA fans alike!

Nelson expressed concern about insufficient coordination among the studios to avoid overlapping themes in their stories, observing that a third of Volume 2's stories revolved around young girls finding mentors to teach them how to use the Force. Nelson praised Volume 2 for exploring the political aspects of Star Wars more than Volume 1, citing the theme of indigenous resistance in "In the Stars", forced labor in "The Pit", and resistance in "The Spy Dancer". Nelson also described "Screecher's Reach" as an inverse of Joseph Campbell's " hero's journey" and "I Am Your Mother" as a lighthearted "mother and daughter" story that differed from the higher-stakes drama of the other stories.
