"Screecher's Reach" was inspired by the cave sequence from Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back.

Paul Young, founder of Cartoon Saloon, was considering directing a sci-fi film when Lucasfilm approached him about collaborating on Star Wars: Visions.

Childhood adventures and exploration from the creators' own lives also inspired "Screecher's Reach."

The Irish landscape informed the look of "Screecher's Reach" pastoral locales.

As Cartoon Saloon is an Ireland-based studio, the banshee of Irish folklore was a direct influence on the Sith mother.
