10 Reasons Star Wars Visions Is The Future Of The Franchise

10. It's Expanding the Mythology

2017's The Last Jedi kicked off an internet firestorm when it attempted to open up the established mythology of Star Wars by depicting the Force in never-before-seen ways. While many people took issue with how director Rian Johnson went about it, he was on the right tack. By the time of the Last Jedi's release, the franchise had been around for 40 years and its mythology was due for a reinterpretation.

Being set in different eras of Star Wars and in different locales allows Visions to offer up new wrinkles in the mythology, and it does so in ways that feel authentic and credible given what has come before.

The episode The Ninth Jedi depicts lightsabers in a new light, making them more explicitly conduits between a Jedi and the Force, while the episode The Twins takes the Star Wars trope of twins and immaculate conceptions through the Force in wholly new directions. These innovations make Visions feel fresher than much of the Star Wars media from the Disney era and should be used as a road map to expanding the universe even more going forward.
