8 Star Wars Projects We Can't Wait To See In 2023

In 2021, Lucasfilm released Star Wars: Visions, a non-canon series of shorts. These shorts were created by famous Japanese anime studios, like Kamikaze Douga, who had worked on Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, and A Whisker Away's creator, Studio Colorido.

On the whole, fans enjoyed the first series, though those who were not particularly keen on the style of anime were sadly out of luck. This is set to change for the second volume, as the show's executive producer confirmed they would be moving the series away from being Japanese-centric, and towards a more global approach of animation and storytelling.

Speaking with Deadline, Star Wars: Visions executive producer James Waugh said, "We really wanted it [animation] to be, in a way, a 'sub-brand' that allowed for different creators to come celebrate Star Wars from their own unique cultural perspective. And so Visions volume two is sort of a global tour of some of the most interesting animation studios on a global level. We have studios from South Africa, Chile, England, Ireland, France, India… and the guiding light there was that we wanted their storytelling to be a reflection of what Star Wars meant in their culture, but also a reflection of the myths and stories that could only come out of their cultural context.”

Volume two of Star Wars: Visions releases in Spring.
