“Could I explore different things visually that I’ve always wanted to explore in animation?” “I had a serious conversation with myself: could I pay respect to the mythology that I loved, but also be bold?” says Blaas. It was important to Blaas and his team to create a new chapter in the Star Wars mythos that was wholly unique, and truly spoke to their own storytelling tendencies. I was able to watch those first Star Wars movies in the theaters, but it was really when I was re-watching them on my brother’s VHS tapes that they really transformed me.” “That phone call was a true time travel moment for me, transporting me all the way back to when I first saw the original trilogy. Nine new global studios would be part of Volume 2, with Spain's El Guiri Studios among them.Ī Star Wars fan from a young age, Blaas had been waiting for a call like this for nearly his entire life. 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. “Jacqui Lopez gave me a call and let me know about this second volume of Visions,” recounts Blaas to. The path to a galaxy far, far away, however, began with a simple phone call. Through it all, “Sith” provides an incredible experience that is visually unlike anything seen in Star Wars.īefore work on this project began, Blaas’ career was filled with numerous highlights, with work on movies at Pixar, including WALL-E, Up, and Brave, as well as creating Trollhunters: Tales of Arcadia with Guillermo del Toro. But this peaceful life does not last Lola's old master tracks her down, leading to an ultimate duel between them.
Written and directed by animation veteran Rodrigo Blaas, with incredible work from his Spain-based El Guiri Studios, “Sith” follows the Force-sensitive (and former Sith) Lola and her trusty droid E2, who both live on an isolated world and are searching for artistic inspiration. “Sith” is the first new short film that audiences will see when starting their Star Wars: Visions Volume 2 journey.
