I Am Your Mother

"I Am Your Mother" is an episode of the Disney+ series Star Wars: Visions and is animated by Aardman Animations.
==Synopsis==
Young pilot Anni, who is embarrassed by her sweet, but clingy mum, must team with her for a madcap family race at the academy. Along the way, their relationship is tested by the elements, their old ship, other racers… and each other!
==Plot==
Sometime after the defeat of the Empire, Hanna City is holding a family racing event for the students at the local Flight Academy, headed by famed pilot Wedge Antilles. Anni, a Twi'lek, is a student who lives in an old beat up ship with her embarrassing mother Kalina. While fixing their droid Z-1, old recorded footage of the good times they had together are played, revealing that Anni had fond memories. She has to leave for the Academy, but accidentally leaves her lunch behind, concerning Kalina.
At the Academy, Anni is mocked along with her friends by top student Julan Van Reeple, whose mother Dorota, is implied to be a former Empire agent. Everyone gets prepared for the race, except for Anni until Kalina suddenly arrives to bring Anni her lunch. When Julan makes a comment about Anni's ship looking like a port-a-potty, Kalina becomes offended and enters the race along with Anni. The race through Hanna City starts with several racers falling out. During this time, Anni finally admits to Kalina that she embarrasses her, though she instead toughens through it.
Kalina orders Anni to take control of the ship so that she can help Z-1, resulting in the two of them hanging on by a literal thread outside the ship. Despite the Van Reeples efforts to kick them out of the race, Anni manages to make a maneuver that outwits them and they manage to cross the finish line first while the Van Reeples humorously fail to cross it by an inch after hitting a ledge. Anni apologizes to her mother for not appreciating her and Kalina reminds her that she is supposed to be embarrassing adding "I am your mother".

==Trivia==
*The title of the episode is most likely a reference to the famous Star Wars line "I am your father," as said by Darth Vader.
*There are a number of homages to Wallace & Gromit: A Grand Day Out, also made by Aardman.
**In Anni & Kalina's space tug, there is a model of the moon rocket which Wallace & Gromit build.
**The Moon Cooker appears as an extra when Kalina arrives to the race.
* One of the competing ships resembles the Stinger Mantis from the video game Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.
* The Van Reeple Ship resembles a Naboo Royal Starship with a black paint job.
* Anni has posters of Wedge Antilles, Hera Syndulla, and Star Waver in her bunk.
* Anni has a Max Rebo plush toy.
* During the race, Dorota tells Julan to "Do it!", which may be a homage to one of Palpatine's lines in Revenge of the Sith.
* Kalina wears a welding mask that looks just like Din Djarin’s Mandalorian helmet.
* When Anni is talking to her friends, there is a booth behind them of "Things Touched By Luke Skywalker", including his T-16 Skyhopper model, the training remote, his binoculars, his hand in a jar and his original lightsaber (with Maz Kanata's hand shown reaching out and taking it, explaining how she came to have it in The Force Awakens).
