Visions 2 has given us a huge variety of episodes with a ton of different stories to tell. But I think what might be my favorite episode by far has to be Screecher’s Reach. And even though there was significantly less action compared to the other episodes like the Journey to Dark Head or the bandits of Golak, and certainly not as visually stunning as others, I still feel like this was the best episode Visions’ 2 had to offer. And certainly it being the darkest out of all the episodes really helped it stand in contrast. However, that’s not really why I liked it so much. In fact, I actually think that Screecher’s Reach does so well precisely because it goes back to the roots of Star Wars but with a slight twist.
To understand why Screecher’s Reach is so damn good, we have to go back to the beginning of a new hope. Specifically, at the beginning of Luke’s Journey. When we first meet Luke we are introduced to an immature horizon gazing farm boy with dreams of a bigger life. A life beyond the mundane day to dayness of moisture farming. We learn that Luke aspires to be something bigger though he does not know what that will be. At least not yet. And the way he sees this is initially through the imperial starfighter academy. And much Luke’s early beginnings actually runs in parallel with Daal, the titular character of Screecher’s Reach. Much like Luke Daal aspires for something more. We are first introduced to Daal’s day to day life, within a span of a few seconds we immediately understand her current situation. The 2D intro scene of the inner workings of a factory goes a long way to demonstrate how suffocated Daal must feel. The complete lack of angles, coupled with Daal’s valve breaking under the pressure, helps us sympathize with Daal’s inner desire to break free. And its only after she exits the factory and removes her helmet, that she is able to finally breathe, breaking away from that 2D perspective.
And much of this is very similar to Luke’s story, at least before he meets Obi Wan. Just like Luke, Daal has dreams of running away. But whereas Luke approaches this issue with a certain type of passiveness, content to mostly complain and still follow his uncle’s instructions, Daal acts on her desperation. She immediately declares that she is going to screecher’s reach regardless of the consequence. And this is perhaps a reflection that her environment is far worse than that of Luke. Sure while Luke’s early life as a moisture farmer certainly wasn’t easy, having to deal with Tusken raiders and the desert, it was still a relatively comfortable surrounding. Which is also partly why Luke had to be pushed for his journey to begin. Despite being offered by Obi Wan the chance to go to Alderaan, Luke hesitates. He suddenly remembers that he has chores to do despite insisting a few scenes earlier that he wanted to leave. And it's only after the death of his aunt and uncle that he is forced to make that first step. Daal on the other hand doesn’t quite have that luxury. Instead we are shown that she is stuck in a dying environment, with the land and air polluted by the factory she works in, and with seemingly no parental figure in sight. And this drastically more difficult beginning that Daal has to go through informs why she is so desperate to leave and why she takes more initiative to do so...
