One of this volume’s standout shorts impressed Disney so much that it’s being expanded into a full Star Wars anime series. We break down what made Visions Vol. 3 so good, which shorts stood out, why this format works so well for Star Wars, and what the newly greenlit anime could mean for the future of the franchise.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.299
Okay, so when Star Wars vision came out, it did
00:00:06.299 --> 00:00:11.259
something that fans weren't expecting. And honestly,
00:00:11.539 --> 00:00:14.300
I would say something that Star Wars desperately
00:00:14.300 --> 00:00:18.820
needed Lucasfilm animation studios from around
00:00:18.820 --> 00:00:22.719
the world. Or they invited studios from around
00:00:22.719 --> 00:00:26.059
the world to create original Star Wars stories
00:00:26.059 --> 00:00:31.260
with zero obligation to follow Canon. no start
00:00:31.260 --> 00:00:34.700
like Skywalker timeline, no need to connect to
00:00:34.700 --> 00:00:39.759
the main saga, total creative freedom. And what
00:00:39.759 --> 00:00:44.740
we got was really awesome. From samurai inspired
00:00:44.740 --> 00:00:47.659
showdowns to musical adventures that kind of
00:00:47.659 --> 00:00:50.679
didn't make sense, but were deeply emotional
00:00:50.679 --> 00:00:55.420
and visions proved something very powerful. Star
00:00:55.420 --> 00:00:59.539
Wars thrives when create when creators are allowed
00:00:59.539 --> 00:01:07.799
to. Just create. And taking this and fast forward
00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:11.099
to volume three, which brought in fresh studios
00:01:11.099 --> 00:01:15.040
with even bolder ideas and every episode took
00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:18.719
Star Wars universe and filtered it to like through
00:01:18.719 --> 00:01:23.200
different lenses and different animation styles,
00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:28.219
new emotional cores, new voices. But one thing
00:01:28.219 --> 00:01:31.120
volume three did that really caught everyone's
00:01:31.120 --> 00:01:35.140
attention wasn't just new stories, it revisited
00:01:35.140 --> 00:01:41.200
old Star Wars vision stories. The studio brought
00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:45.120
back characters from volume one, continuing threads
00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:49.519
that us fans have long kind of speculated about
00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:54.920
for the last couple of years. And suddenly. it
00:01:54.920 --> 00:02:00.840
all started coming together. Artistically, emotionally,
00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:05.079
all came together. But there was one thing that
00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:08.500
returned that definitely towered above all the
00:02:08.500 --> 00:02:12.240
all the other stories. And that was the ninth
00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:16.280
Jedi. So when volume three came out, it followed
00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:23.020
up a short. Child of Hope, the fandom went wild
00:02:23.020 --> 00:02:25.919
at the time. For the first time, Visions was
00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:31.099
building an entire universe of its own. And Lucas
00:02:31.099 --> 00:02:34.319
Films dropped a really big bombshell recently.
00:02:35.020 --> 00:02:39.560
Lucas Films has officially greenlit for the first
00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:44.819
time ever. A full anime series continuing continuing
00:02:44.819 --> 00:02:53.129
the story of the ninth Jedi. I think this is
00:02:53.129 --> 00:02:58.990
sick. I. I personally, I really did like a lot
00:02:58.990 --> 00:03:01.189
of the storylines with the Star Wars visions.
00:03:02.270 --> 00:03:06.189
I think they're very unique. I hate the Skywalker
00:03:06.189 --> 00:03:10.629
storyline. I am. Hates like a strong word that
00:03:10.629 --> 00:03:14.650
leads to the outside. I just like I'm just tired
00:03:14.650 --> 00:03:18.219
of it like they need to get away from it. and
00:03:18.219 --> 00:03:21.780
we've yeah that's what visions did and it's sick
00:03:21.780 --> 00:03:25.020
i love it and so so what are your thoughts alex
00:03:25.020 --> 00:03:28.960
about the animation series the ninth jedi being
00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:32.939
announced so first to answer a question in chat
00:03:32.939 --> 00:03:35.099
it came out two weeks ago and this is actually
00:03:35.099 --> 00:03:37.219
where i think visions volume three kind of fell
00:03:37.219 --> 00:03:41.199
on its face i didn't know was coming right like
00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:43.520
it was like oh visions volume three came out
00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:47.400
what the hell like Yeah. Oh, all right. Cool.
00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:57.740
So put that aside. OK. I think it's good. Right.
00:03:58.219 --> 00:04:00.240
And the reason I think it's good is, again, it
00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:02.979
gives the fandom the chance to go. These aren't
00:04:02.979 --> 00:04:05.680
canons, so we don't got to like argue or fight.
00:04:05.860 --> 00:04:10.759
These are just fun things to look at. Right.
00:04:11.300 --> 00:04:16.170
And so I think that's actually good for. Star
00:04:16.170 --> 00:04:18.449
Wars is to have things outside the cannon things
00:04:18.449 --> 00:04:20.769
that we again we can have these interpretations
00:04:20.769 --> 00:04:24.069
and we're very clear. These are not cannon We're
00:04:24.069 --> 00:04:28.709
just doing some fun stuff right like let's just
00:04:28.709 --> 00:04:31.529
Everybody pump the brakes on the cannon stuff,
00:04:31.529 --> 00:04:35.970
right? And so again, yeah, I think it's good
00:04:36.110 --> 00:04:38.709
And I think that that anime is awesome. There's
00:04:38.709 --> 00:04:41.689
always been a lot of Japanese influence in Star
00:04:41.689 --> 00:04:44.290
Wars. And so I think it's appropriate. I think
00:04:44.290 --> 00:04:48.790
it's cool. I enjoyed it. You know, do I think
00:04:48.790 --> 00:04:51.329
that every episode of Visions has been a banger?
00:04:51.529 --> 00:04:53.529
No. But has there been stuff in there that I'm
00:04:53.529 --> 00:04:55.389
like, oh, that was cool. And is there other stuff
00:04:55.389 --> 00:04:56.970
there that I was like, I don't know what I just
00:04:56.970 --> 00:05:00.689
watched? Yes. But that's fine. Again, art hits
00:05:00.689 --> 00:05:03.720
everybody different. And I think it's neat that
00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:06.360
they're doing a full anime series. Good for for
00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:11.759
that studio. Good for this. Yeah, I don't see
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:21.560
a downside here at all, pretty much. So. This
00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:26.480
this gives me kind of like. I hope for Star Wars
00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:34.500
and. When you see something for the first time,
00:05:34.939 --> 00:05:37.680
it really hits you differently. Like I remember
00:05:37.680 --> 00:05:40.740
being in the movie theater when I saw Bumblebee
00:05:40.740 --> 00:05:45.120
stand up in Transformers and it was like the
00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:49.439
sickest thing, you know, at the time. And then
00:05:49.439 --> 00:05:54.500
you get like Transformers, you know, 38 or whatever.
00:05:54.540 --> 00:05:56.459
And you're just kind of like over it. You're
00:05:56.459 --> 00:06:00.939
kind of done with it. Seeing Darth Maul for the
00:06:00.939 --> 00:06:04.519
first time sick seeing Boba Fett for the first
00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:08.300
time sick seeing you know, insert whatever seeing
00:06:08.300 --> 00:06:11.680
these new characters for the first time. It's
00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:15.800
so amazing and it's so I don't know it it resonates
00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:19.360
with you. But when we stay with like the Skywalker
00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:24.420
storyline I think it really limits and it doesn't
00:06:24.420 --> 00:06:27.439
do the Star Wars universe justice and I'm not
00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:29.899
I'm not You know, I was a little harsh earlier.
00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:34.000
I don't hate like the Skywalker storyline, but
00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:39.980
it does. It does have its own place. You know,
00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:45.079
in cement, 100 percent. You know, the original.
00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:47.139
Yeah. And I think what you're saying is, is we
00:06:47.139 --> 00:06:49.259
need to get out of that rebellion era stuff because
00:06:49.259 --> 00:06:52.620
we've done it to death. Right. Yeah. And or was
00:06:52.620 --> 00:06:54.899
great, but we're still in the same spot. Road
00:06:54.899 --> 00:06:57.000
one was great, but we're still in the same like.
00:06:57.960 --> 00:07:03.319
Let's move on. And I agree with you. I think
00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:06.439
that that is is what is best for the fandom within
00:07:06.439 --> 00:07:09.939
the canon. Let's let's break out of this, you
00:07:09.939 --> 00:07:13.000
know, 35 year period of galactic history and
00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:15.240
really like blah. Something in the YouTube chat
00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:17.240
saying Game of Thrones, great series set in the
00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:19.980
Old Republic. That was the rumor about what James
00:07:19.980 --> 00:07:22.560
Mangold Star Wars trilogy was supposed to be
00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:24.779
was like a sword and sandals type like origin
00:07:24.779 --> 00:07:29.459
of the Jedi. like kind of thing. I think that's
00:07:29.459 --> 00:07:30.839
still in development. They haven't officially
00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:36.439
canceled it yet. I would love to see something
00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:41.399
like that myself as well. Ultimately, I just
00:07:41.399 --> 00:07:45.220
I want them to to to make movies. Mandalorian
00:07:45.220 --> 00:07:47.639
and Grogu is coming, which is great. That Starfighter
00:07:47.639 --> 00:07:52.180
movie appears to be filming still. So, you know,
00:07:53.459 --> 00:08:00.160
you know, there's that. so I Wish I could turn
00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:01.899
off my memories for some stuff and realize the
00:08:01.899 --> 00:08:03.639
initial experience again Even if you don't turn
00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:05.639
off your memories again I took my daughter to
00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:07.399
see episode one last year in the theater when
00:08:07.399 --> 00:08:10.000
they did the release And it does it hits differently
00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:12.079
on the big screen. This is the thing that I think
00:08:12.079 --> 00:08:15.199
Star Wars is missing is Where's my fucking movies?
00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:19.319
Okay, like I loved the Mandalorian and or was
00:08:19.319 --> 00:08:28.279
great What's it stupid doing with the kids Oh,
00:08:28.459 --> 00:08:35.039
I loved that. Why can't I think of the name of
00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:39.000
it? Yeah, the Stranger Things style. Skeleton
00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:42.779
Crew. Jesus. Skeleton Crew loved Skeleton Crew.
00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:51.960
Thank you, Chad. But again. You know, Star Wars
00:08:51.960 --> 00:08:54.360
hits different on the big screen. I want movies,
00:08:54.379 --> 00:09:00.159
right? I want to see fleets drop out of hyperspace,
00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:03.399
you know, and space battles and that stuff like
00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:07.279
with that that grander scale, right, that you
00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:11.919
can only get in theatrical. So, yeah, good for
00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:14.899
Star Wars visions, good for stuff. That's kind
00:09:14.899 --> 00:09:22.419
of where I land on that one. Nice. So. Also,
00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:24.419
if you haven't watched Volume 3, go watch Volume
00:09:24.419 --> 00:09:26.580
3 because apparently they just dropped it and
00:09:26.580 --> 00:09:30.139
didn't tell anybody. Let us know what you think
00:09:30.139 --> 00:09:31.559
down in the comments below.
