How Star Wars Visions: The Bird of Paradise’s director built on the lore of the Force

As a huge Star Wars fan, Visionsis one of my favorite projects because it perfectly conveys what makes the franchise so special: how each fan experiences its story in different ways. That’s why The Bird of Paradise, a 3D-animated short from Polygon Pictures and director Tadahiro Yoshihira, instantly stuck out. The story of a hot-headed Jedi Padawan who becomes blinded in battle and must undergo a series of spiritual trials to overcome the temptation of the Dark Side borrows liberally from Japanese mythology. Our hero navigates a fantastical vision of the world as perceived by her Force powers, giving the episode a stunning and unique visual style.
