Star Wars: Visions

"Star Wars: Visions" is an animated anthology series that explores established and expanded Star Wars lore through distinct Japanese animation styles. It offers unique, independent interpretations of the galaxy's themes and characters without being strictly bound by official franchise canon. The series presents a fresh visual take on the universe.

The first volume consists of eight independent episodes, each produced by a different Japanese animation studio. Studios involved in the project included major names like Production I.G, Trigger, and Studio Colorido. This structure allowed each episode to have a radically different artistic style.

Yes, "Star Wars: Visions" returned for a second volume, but it expanded its scope globally. Volume 2 featured animated shorts from studios around the world, not just Japan. This allowed for a broader exploration of international animation styles applied to the Star Wars universe.

The events depicted in "Star Wars: Visions" are largely considered to be non-canon or existing outside the main continuity of the Star Wars universe. The creators were given immense freedom to play with the mythology without worrying about continuity constraints. This makes the series a creative playground rather than a core timeline event.
