September 22, 2021, will be a huuuuge day. Why? That’s when nine shorts set in the Star Wars universe from seven Japanese studios dubbed “STAR WARS: VISIONS” go live on Disney+.
Surprise paternity revelations but better?
Star Wars, like any franchise, has story elements, happenings, and overall rules that need to be present in order for it to be true to its self. The Sith, the Jedi, Tatooine, Tie Fighters, lightsabers, Alderaan exploding, Shore Troopers, surprise paternity revelations, and all that. What if we bent the rules a little, give a couple of talented animation studios the keys to the Star Wars bus, and tell them to go crazy! That’s what I hope this series of shorts will be. I’m excited! Are you? Tell me in a comment below or tweet me @jamaipanese.
