Star Wars: Visions wowed fans back in 2021 when the first volume was released. The animated anthology series, produced by Lucasfilm, gave a new and diverse perspective to the Star Wars universe. The episodes of the first volume of Star Wars: Visions were directed by seven Japanese animation studios. These studios were Kamikaze Douga, Studio Colorido, Geno Studio, Trigger, Kinema Citrus, Production I.G, and Science SARU. They all used their background in anime to show the Star Wars universe through a new lens.

The show has been praised for its incredible creativity. Fans were thrilled to hear that a second volume was coming in early 2023.
