Disney Plus has announced a new anime anthology series inspired by Star Wars entitled Star Wars: Visions coming September 22nd. Seven shorts inspired by Star Wars will be produced by some of the biggest names in anime production including Kamikaze Douga, Geno Studio (Twin Engine), Studio Colorido (Twin Engine), Trigger, Kinema Citrus, Science Saru, and Production IG. The shorts announced include:

  • The Duel by Kamikaze Douga
  • Lop & Ocho by Geno Studio
  • Tatooine Rhapsody by Studio Colorido
  • The Twins and The Elder by Trigger
  • The Village Bride by Kinema Citrus
  • Akakiri and T0-B1 by Science Saru
  • The Ninth Jedi by Production IG

According to Disney, as a first formal venture into anime, each “Star Wars: Visions” 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.
