Star Wars: Visions (Japanese: スター・ウォーズ:ビジョンズ) is an ONA (Original Network Anime) by Lucasfilm that aired on Disney+ on September 22, 2021. It is a series of anime original short films with a new and distinct cultural perspective to Star Wars, created by various leading Japanese anime studios. The initial release of this anthology series was announced to have ten episodes, but this was changed to nine, as the fifth episode, "The Ninth Jedi", was originally envisioned as two episodes.[1][2]
A second season is expected to be released in Fall 2022, that will consist of new shorts as well as continuations of some of the previous ones.[3]
Presenting all-new, creative takes on the galaxy far, far away, Star Wars: Visions will be a series of animated short films celebrating Star Wars through the lens of the world’s best anime creators. The anthology collection will bring [9] fantastic visions from several of the leading Japanese anime studios, offering a fresh and diverse cultural perspective to Star Wars.[4]
It was not required by the filmmakers to set their episodes anywhere in the Star Wars canon timeline. This was so they could have free creativity over how to tell their stories. Nevertheless, some of them are given actual places in the timeline, such as "Lop & Ochō" and "The Twins" while some take place in alternate universes, such as "The Duel".
The majority of the voice cast is composed of Asian-American actors. This was done most likely, out of respect, for the series' Japanese roots. Despite this, not all of the voice actors are of Japanese descent.
Brian Tee, Karen Fukuhara, Nichole Sakura, Christopher Sean, Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, Andrew Kishino, Kimiko Glenn, Masi Oka, Hiromi Dames, Paul Nakauchi, George Takei, and Keone Young are the only cast members of Japanese descent. However, Sakura, Glenn, Dames, Kishino and Sean are half Japanese with the other half mostly being white ethnicities while Tee and Young are half Korean and Chinese, respectively.
Lucy Liu, Simu Liu, James Hong, Anna Cathcart (half-Irish), and Keone Young (half-Japanese) are of Chinese descent, Greg Chun, Brian Tee (half-Japanese), and Jamie Chung are of Korean descent, Stephanie Sheh is of Taiwanese descent, and Henry Golding is half-Malaysian/half-English descent.
Temuera Morrison is of Māori, Scottish, and Irish descent, Lorraine Toussaint is of Trinidadian-English descent, and Jordan Fisher has an incredibly diverse background consisting of Nigerian, Cambodian, English, Polynesian (Tahitian), Italian, Greek, and Scandinavian descent.
The rest of the cast is mostly white.
This is the first Disney anime series/special not to be produced by Madhouse.
