We were very inspired by that, and wanted to discover if we could use the medium of CG to make it an integral part of the story. By trying to imbue our visuals with beauty and expressiveness, you end up with a great and enjoyable journey for the audience.”
The one big takeaway from just about everyone who watched this show is that Young Leia actor Vivien Lyra Blair absolutely nailed the role. Her immediate entry to Star Wars royalty has led to several big convention appearances since the show's release, where she finds herself regularly autographing 3D-printed replicas of her co-star L0-LA59, or "Lola" as it's called on the show. Stars: The journey in question does involve a fair bit of space travel. The stars, however, are not super highlighted. Instead, the big visuals come from the forgotten temple where the final battle takes place. 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.
They're based in convenient locations including supermarkets, newsagents and train stations. Plus they're often open late and on Sundays. Stars: No stars here! This one takes place on a metropolitan planet, so it’s all city buildings and narrow streets instead. 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” Visions: One of the most intriguing things about this short is the dancing — and how that translates into the climactic fight. Loi’e, the principal dancer and head spy, does an impressive routine using aerial silks. When she fights the Stormtroopers, she uses those silks as weapons. Her protege, Hétis, has a similar balletic fighting style. It’s fun to see a Star Wars fight that doesn’t rely on lightsabers or blasters. MODES OF PLAY: Enter Companion Mode by attaching L0-LA59's legs, Hover Mode by attaching her stand, or On the Go Mode by removing her from either base and pretending she's zooming through the galaxy
The Princess and the Scoundrel establishes that L0-LA59 was destroyed during the Disaster, which Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates to 0 BBY. 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. 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+. Touch the censor on L0-LA59's head to activate more than 45 different light, sound, and movement combinations through 3 modes of play. Enter Companion Mode by attaching L0-LA59's legs, Hover Mode by attaching her stand, or On the Go Mode by removing her from either base and pretending she's zooming through the galaxy 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.”Stars: Not a lot here since 95% of this short takes place in a towering dance hall. Think that scene in Revenge of the Sith where Palpatine and Anakin talk about Darth Plagueis (and also watch Squid Lake). Wars: There is a vague sense that the prisoners thrown into the pit were probably captured because of the Empire’s conquests. Like with the previous short, there isn’t really an outright mention of war, but it’s felt.
Great Deal
