A special first-look promo has been released for Star Wars: Visions, a collection of ten animated shorts created by LucasFilm and some of Japan’s biggest anime creators from studios such as Kamikaze Douga, Geno Studio, Studio Colorido, Trigger, Kinema Citrus, Science Saru, and Production IG; watch it here…
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.
Star Wars: Visions will premiere on Disney+ on September 22nd.
