Star Wars Visions Executive Producer Addresses Decision to Take Volume 2 of the Series Global

Last year, Star Wars Visions decided to take the galaxy far, far away into the realm of anime, but the next volume of shorts will be bringing in talent from around the world. Series executive producer James Waugh reveals why the series is now taking a more varied approach, and delves into how the series will still retain an emphasis on Japanese animation.



At Star Wars Celebration Anaheim 2022, it was officially confirmed that Star Wars Visions would be going forward with a new set of shorts developed by animators from not just Japan, but also the United States, Chile, Ireland, the United Kingdom, Spain, France, South Africa, India, and South Korea. When talking to Deadline about the future of the Visions brand, Waugh explained that he sees it as an all-encompassing label to allow creators from around the world to express what Star Wars means to their style.

This is in-line with the original Visions art book that inspired the anime series, as that featured Star Wars artwork created from the lenses of cultures around the world. That being said, Visions is not shedding its ties to anime world, as anime studios are still involved with the new volumes of content that are coming down the road, and Waugh notes that anime, along with that artbook, are two of the driving factors that led to the creation of the series:

Star Wars Visions Volume 1 is available to watch on Disney Plus, while Volume 2 will begin airing in Spring 2023.
