Of all the panels and news to come for Star Wars Celebration Japan 2025, the Star Wars: Visions panel was my most anticipated considering the series would return to Japan’s legendary anime scene and several returning studios were coming back for more, leaving me eager to learn if that meant continuations for some of Vol. 1‘s best or not. My dreams not only came true, as sequels to “The Duel,” “The Village Bride,” and “The Ninth Jedi” are on their way, while the rest of the new stories look to set up for more visually arresting and intriguing new takes on the franchise, but my wildest expectations were blown out of the water when it was announced there would be a whole series around the world of “The Ninth Jedi”!!!!!! What?!?!!!! It’s a bold new direction for Visions and I’m so here for it! Visions Vol. 3 is out October 29, while Star Wars: Visions Presents – The Ninth Jedi will follow in 2026. Check out all the cool new and returning stories below! Continue reading “Star Wars: Visions Vol. 3 Out October 29, Returning Stories and New, Plus Ninth Jedi Series Set for 2026! (SWCJ 2025)”
While it seemed like a given considering the love from fans and the many nominations previous Volumes of Star Wars: Visions have received, it’s nice to see the confirmation a third volume is on its way for 2025! I suspect we’ll learn a lot more at April’s Star Wars Celebration in Japan, given Volume 3 returns the series solely to the country’s legendary anime scene, but for now we know the studios, some new and some returning, we’ll get to feast on new shorts from: Production I.G., Studio TRIGGER, Kinema citrus, Kamikaze Douga, ANIMA, David Production, Polygon Pictures, Project Studio Q, and WIT Studio. Head below for some thoughts about the returning studios and brief info on the new ones! Continue reading “Star Wars: Visions Volume 3 Arrives 2025, Studios Announced!”

The first of two shorts from Studio Trigger for Star Wars Visions, “The Twins” cuts straight to the core of the franchise’s themes, if maybe too quickly and on the nose, but it builds such an over-the-top, thrilling, and packed take on the Saga that it leaves you curious on where the titular twins will go next.
