Of all the shows announced in December 2020, Star Wars Visions piqued many’s, including mine, interest due to its compelling and limitless idea: give anime studios a chance to create whatever Star Wars anime projects they wanted as part of an anthology series. Star Wars has borrowed a lot from East Asian cinema, with George Lucas originally offering the role of Obi-Wan Kenobi to Toshirō Mifune even, so it’s about time they get their chance to show what they can bring to the Saga. Starting September 22 on Disney+, Star Wars Visions will feature nine shorts from seven legendary anime studios, all with their own original score, and we have some new details and a slick trailer show the wild and exciting styles to come thanks to a panel at Anime Expo Lite. Head below for more details! UPDATE 2: A brand new, spectacular trailer and the full cast has been revealed!

When Lucasfilm revealed the future of Star Wars, with tons of content flowing through Disney+, one of the more intriguing shows was Star Wars Visions, an anthology collection which will, “…bring 10 fantastic visions from several of the leading Japanese anime studios.” It’s not even out yet and it has inspired an original novel, Star Wars Visions: Ronin, by Emma Mieko Candon, set to release October 12, with the book’s announcement confirming the show will be out 2021. I’m eager to learn more about this book, especially if Candon pitched them a book with “a transcendent sense of hope,” as this could be an intriguing new concept for a novel. No extra details released for Ronin or Visions, but check back at the Manor as we’ll have them when they do! Continue reading “Original Novel Star Wars Visions: Ronin Announced, Out October”
