BY Anthony Odu May 30, 2022

As it turns out, the team at Disney and Lucasfilm will resurrect Star Wars Visions. Star Wars fans, rejoice! This is the season renewal you’ve been waiting for! After speculations of a second season of the anime surfaced, Star Wars Celebration revealed the project received the official green light for season two.

For those who are unfamiliar with Star Wars Visions, it debuted last fall and is the franchise’s first anime endeavor. Season one is available only on Disney+ and consists of nine short films focusing on various aspects of the Star Wars universe. Star Wars Visions explored all kinds of storylines, from the Sith to the destroyed Jedi Order and cantinas, and fans met season one. It left an impression on people after the first look showed an anime aesthetic.

Following rumors that the second installment comes out in 2022, the announcement of the official release date for Star Wars Visions occurred. Volume 1 debuted on Disney+ in the fall of 2022, blending anime with Star Wars in nine distinct episodes created. Seven different Japanese studios animated the episodes. As you can expect, fans are excited to see how this anime anthology approaches Star Wars in a new season. This renewal is only one of several announcements made at Star Wars Celebration this week. The franchise has been busy, from the early release of Obi-Wan Kenobi to the order of Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi, and Star Wars Visions season two will add to the load.

Each narrative not only had its unique animation style, but it also lived independently of the main Star Wars canon. Executive producer James Waugh stated in an August 2021 interview that there were no plans to merge Visions into the greater Star Wars timeline at the moment. “That’s correct — every element of Star Wars inspires future Star Wars storytellers in some way,” Waugh explained. “So are there plans to integrate Visions into the timeline saga storytelling? Not currently, but I have no doubt that we will see things that were in Visions become part of the fabric of Star Wars over the next decades.”

The Series Is A Game Changer

Star Wars: Visions was one of the most innovative initiatives to come out of the brand in recent years, with some of the world’s most recognized anime companies creating all-new storylines in the franchise.

Many fans enjoyed these unique interpretations of the Star Wars universe, and they now know that there will be more.

Visions Volume 2 will be available on Disney+ in Spring 2023, according to Disney. The series’ second book was announced at the “A Look Back at Star Wars: Visions” panel at Star Wars Celebration in Anaheim, California, and confirmed in a tweet from the official Star Wars Twitter page.

Reviews For Star Wars Visions Generally Stayed Positive

Visions garnered generally positive reviews from both critics and fans. The prospect of a second installment, according to Waugh, happened due to the response to Volume 1. “I think we’d love to do more Star Wars Visions, but we’ll have to analyze the reception and what the fandom wants.” Waugh remarked about the potential of releasing more Visions shorts in 2021. ” and I are obviously quite prejudiced; we love these shorts and think this is such an excellent framing for Star Wars.”

Unlike the first season, season 2 possesses only one episode from a Japanese studio. And each episode comes from a studio of a different nation. We can’t wait to see what the separate studios working on the second season will come up with. Whatever it is, I’m sure it’s bound to be as good as the first season in visuals, at least.
