Star Wars: Visions is making its highly-anticipated return in 2025, and this time it’s heading back to its anime roots.
Disney and Lucasfilm have announced that Season 3 will feature nine short films created by some of the most acclaimed Japanese anime studios, including Studio Trigger (Cyberpunk: Edgerunners), WIT Studio (Attack on Titan), and more.
Other contributors include David Production, Kamikaze Douga, ANIMA, Kinema Citrus Co., Polygon Pictures, Production I.G, and Project Studio Q.
This anthology series has always celebrated the mythology of Star Wars by reimagining it through fresh cultural lenses.
While Season 2 expanded globally with studios from across the world, Season 3 promises to dive deep into anime, showcasing a unique artistic approach that fans of both Star Wars and Japanese animation will love.
Though these stories aren’t part of official canon (at least not yet), their standalone nature is what makes them so special.
Visions takes the foundational elements of the Star Wars universe—its themes, conflicts, and mythology—and reshapes them into breathtaking new narratives.
From stories about family and resistance to visuals that push the boundaries of animation, Visions has proven it can honor Star Wars while offering something entirely new.
If Seasons 1 and 2 were any indication, this upcoming volume is sure to be a treat for fans.
Season 1 impressed viewers with its creative ambition, earning high praise and an 8/10 review from IGN.
Season 2 built on that success, receiving an even higher 9/10, as it united animation studios worldwide to explore themes of family, home, and resistance.
With the anime-inspired third season on the horizon, Star Wars: Visions is set to continue its legacy of delivering stunning animation and heartfelt storytelling. 2025 can’t come soon enough!
