Star Wars anime Visions announced with trailer
Star Wars as an anime? Anime with Star Wars? Painted lightsabers ?! While there are already comic series like Star Wars: The Clone Wars, a Japanese anime has never ventured into the franchise. Until now.
Disney has the anime Star Wars: Visions announced a science fiction anthology series with individual short film episodes. Seven well-known anime studios take care of the completely different episodes, each of which tells its own story and should be animated in an original style.
Lucasfilms Vice President James Waugh said in the trailer for Visions:
“Japanese animation has inspired many of Lucasfilm’s people over the years. We loved the idea that Star Wars could be presented in this way.“

What will Star Wars: Visions be about?
As indicated, every single episode of Star Wars: Visions will be one own, individual story from the Star Wars universe tell. You could compare that with Love Death + Robots, whose two seasons show different short films. Most likely, the individual episodes will also differ in the style of drawing.
The first episode of Star Wars: Visions will be released on September 22, 2021 on Disney +. It can be expected that a new episode will fly into the release every week.
Is Disney + worth it now? We have picked out 8 film and series highlights that might be of interest to Disney + players:
A Star Wars anime is by no means absurd: There is no question that George Lucas was also inspired by Japanese series, films and animes when he came up with Star Wars. In Japanese, historical films in the samurai genre are called “jidaigeki”, from which Lucas copied the term “Jedi”. If Visions is successful, there is hardly anything in the way of other Star Wars animes.
