This part of “black” is animated David produces A convention of online animators recruited by online favorite veterans and X in the industry. The result is a calvaclade of sensory fragments on both sides of the key Star Wars image. A strange phenomenon Executive Producer James Wat Describe “Black” as the most experimental work in the anthology series to date, but I doubt anything can be prepared for the audience.
Luke’s shooting of one million guns destroyed the Death Star, “Black” was set in a brief moment of destruction. Fans of the original trilogy (or anyone who has experienced any pop culture over the past 40 years) know the general sequence of events that lead to climax Star Wars Episode 4: New Hope. ōhira asks viewers to face the human price of the interstellar war, especially the grunt of commandos that died on the altar of conquest.

There is almost no dialogue, “Black” spins between overwhelming destruction and quiet moments of small moments in the psychology of an unknown commando. In a few minutes we see his internal struggle, the literal synapses fired in his dying brain are the “red” power of imperial loyalty fighting the “green” power of humanity. At his last moment he recalls the death he helped continue and the little quietness he existed as a man.
ōhira intends to leave “black” in the audience’s interpretation, but quotes Polish animation’s short “Hate Road” as inspiration Masahito Yamashita And his work Mamoru Oshii‘ DMOG. This short film took three years to start the concept of music video. He initially hoped to support the singer Sakura FujiwaraThe music pays less attention to a cohesive story. The end result is a mix; Fuji’s jazz-influenced songs are backed by a full trumpet, filling the auditory gap, while classic Star Wars The spacecraft is manipulated in rubble. There are some distinct moments of silence that feel inconsistent. The roar of fire and crushed metal will be a welcome addition to help bring explosive consequences to the forefront. As an IS, silence feels like a mistake, not a deliberate choice.
If “black” indicates the rest Star Wars: Vision Volume 3anthology will reach new artistic heights, but cannot be seen from previous franchise pairings. October 29th can’t come soon.
