Each studio will use their signature animation and storytelling styles to realize their own visions of the galaxy far, far away. <\/p><p>Lucasfilm\u2019s Jacqui Lopez (Executive Producer), James Waugh (Executive Producer), Josh Rimes (Executive Producer), and Qubic Pictures\u2019 Justin Leach (Co-Executive Producer) and Kanako Shirasaki (Producer) were on hand at the event to reveal each studio and give fans a special look at the environment and concept art as they debuted the title and first details of each short. <\/p><p>Kamikaze Douga &#8211; The Duel <br>Geno Studio (Twin Engine) &#8211; Lop and Och\u014d <br>Studio Colorido (Twin Engine) &#8211; Tatooine Rhapsody <br>Trigger &#8211; The Twins <br>Trigger &#8211; The Elder <br>Kinema Citrus &#8211; The Village Bride <br>Science Saru &#8211; Akakiri <br>Science Saru &#8211; T0-B1 <br>Production IG &#8211; The Ninth Jedi <\/p><p>As a first formal venture into anime, each \u201cStar Wars: Visions\u201d short bears a unique Japanese sensibility, which in many ways aligns with the tone and spirit of Star Wars storytelling. From the beginning, stories told in the Star Wars galaxy have counted Japanese mythology and the films of Akira Kurosawa among their many influences, and these new visions will further explore that cultural heritage through the unique animation style and perspective of each anime studio. <\/p><p>All episodes of \u201cStar Wars: Visions\u201d will be released on Disney+ September 22, 2021.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m not gonna lie, I couldn\u2019t be more excited about this. Being a lifelong otaku and Star Wars fan, having anime inspired by the franchise? It\u2019s like a dream come true!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best part? It\u2019s coming to Disney+! Why is that cool? Well, it\u2019s unknown if this will be an animated feature comprised of shorts, or, as <a href=\"https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/star-wars-visions-first-teaser-puts-a-japanese-lens-on-1847226050?fbclid=IwAR39rAYXxppbH9XDfIzeqtesX-3qphP49e2HVpbRxNtRHFnpu_yo7yJ1nNs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">io9<\/a> mentioned, <em>\u201c\u2026teased as a 10-part anthology series..\u201d, <\/em>but if it\u2019s the latter, all I\u2019m thinking about is anime of a healthy length ALL ABOUT STAR WARS! I mean, if you think about it, look at the MCU Disney+ shows, even THE MANDALORIAN. The episodes are all of varying length, with the mindset of taking the time needed to tell the individual story, and personally love that!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So definitely can\u2019t wait!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>STAR WARS: VISIONS hits Disney+ on September 22<sup>nd<\/sup>.
