I don’t care what anyone says, I enjoyed the hell out of the first season of Star Wars: Visions! It was just a lot of fun to watch and the stories that the segments told we so different and so unique. So, I’m excited to report that Lucasfilm has announced that we are getting a second season and it will be released in 2023.
For those of you who didn’t watch Star Wars Visions, or know what it’s about, Seven Japanese anime studios were brought asked to bring their unique talent and perspective to Star Wars: Visions, a collection of nine animated Original Short Films.
As a first formal venture into anime, “each Star Wars: Visions short bears a unique Japanese sensibility, which in many ways aligns with the tone and spirit of Star Wars storytelling. From the beginning, stories told in the Star Wars galaxy have counted Japanese mythology and the films of Akira Kurosawa among their many influences, and these new visions will further explore that cultural heritage through the unique animation style and perspective of each anime studio.”
If you haven’t watched this series yet, you should! It’s so cool and I absolutely love some of the animation art styles.
