Star Wars: Visions is gearing up for a thrilling return with its third installment, expected next year. Fans of this groundbreaking series have something exciting to look forward to.
In the aftermath of the rather polarizing conclusion of the Skywalker saga with 2019’s The Rise of Skywalker, the Star Wars universe has seen a mix of reactions to its various projects. However, Star Wars: Visions has stood out as a refreshing highlight among them. If you haven’t had the chance to catch it on Disney+, it’s an anthology of standalone episodes, each crafted by diverse animation studios from around the globe, predominantly from Japan. Notably, the second volume even featured an episode by Aardman, the ingenious creators of Wallace and Gromit. For those who have been enchanted by the series and are eager for more, there’s good news—StarWars.com has officially announced another season is on the way, promising contributions from some really esteemed studios.
Studio Trigger is making a comeback this season, known for its own uniquely creative spin on the Star Wars universe. They previously impressed with a bold, alternate-universe take on the original trilogy. Fans can also look forward to episodes from the talented folks at David Production, famed for Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, and Production I.G, the minds behind the classic Ghost in the Shell. Adding to the excitement are WIT Studio, creators of the early seasons of Attack on Titan, along with Kamikaze Douga, Anima, Kinema Citrus Co., and Project Studio Q, all ready to lend their distinct artistic voices.
The one hitch in our enthusiasm is the absence of a precise release date. Reports indicate a 2025 launch, which seems almost within reach, yet it still requires some patience.
On another front, Disney and Lucasfilm seem to be navigating their next steps in the film realm. Recent reports suggest they are exploring the possibility of bringing Rey back for a brand new trilogy. We’ll just have to wait and see how that unfolds!
