Star Wars: Visions was announced way back in December 2020 and marked the collaboration of six Japanese animation studios. The Japanese anime anthology series was meant to tell ten different stories that drew their inspiration and imagination from the Star Wars universe.

The episode count was later snipped, and the anime series was scheduled for a release on the popular American OTT Platform Disney+. Since the release of the series is around the corner, the complete details about the upcoming Star Wars project will be covered in the next part of this article.
