This looks fantastic to be honest. They’re really working overtime to make up for The Rise of Skywalker.

Watching this now. Finally something original on Disney+. ‘The Ninth Jedi’ was by far the most interesting episode. Hopefully that turns into a proper series.

I saw a commercial for this during Toonami this past weekend and was struck by the visuals.

My personal favorite short was The Twins because it reminded me of Luke/Leia and Rey/Kylo who are the best Star Wars characters. I'm glad 9th Jedi is getting a spinoff show.

A second season of Star Wars: Visions is coming to Disney+ in spring 2023. I'm skeptical about the shorts this time around not all being animated in Japan. It probably means we won't get many real 2D ones.
While there’s not much to reveal yet, the second volume will bring together new stories from creative teams in Japan, India, UK, Ireland, Spain, Chile, France, South Africa, and California in the United States. “It’s going to be a celebration of the incredible animation happening all around the globe,” James Waugh said.
