Aau's Song

"Aau's Song" is an episode of the Disney+ series Star Wars: Visions and is animated by Triggerfish.
==Synopsis==
An alien child who longs to sing is raised by her loving, but stern father to stay quiet because of the calamitous effect her voice has on the crystals in the nearby mines.
==Plot==
On the planet Korba, the residents have cultivated kyber crystals until the Sith came and poisoned them. Since then, the Korbonians have been working to try and purify them. A little girl named Aau has a singing voice that is sequestered by her father Abat due to the intense effect it has on the kyber crystals. A Jedi named Kratu visits in an attempt to understand why the kyber crystals have not been able to purify. When Aau's singing causes one of the crystals to sting her father, he scolds her and tells her to not sing again.
They head into town for work where Abat goes into the mines with his assistant Attu while Aau tends to the animals. She suddenly hears a voice calling out to her and sees her father outside the mines with Attu preparing to go down. Aau is suddenly drawn by another entrance that takes her into a large cavern with red kyber crystals. She begins to sing with her voice having a noticeable effect on them. However, Abat finds Aau, causing the crystals to disrupt and he pulls her out just as the rock spires begin to shake and crumble.
Aau and Abat are rescued by Kratu who uses the Force to stop them from being crushed. Realizing what she must do, Aau finally lets out a powerful song that causes the crystals to calm and become purified. Kratu is impressed, but tells Aau that due to her ability she must come with her and gives her time to think about it. The next day, Aau has decided to leave with Kratu with Abat telling her that she is the first of their kind to leave for space. The two of them hug as Aau leaves with Kratu on her next adventure.
