Late last night, it was announced that the hit anthology series Star Wars: Visions is back with Volume 3. Star Wars shared the announcement at the 2024 Disney APAC Content Showcase, along with some intriguing details about this next entry.

Like the last two seasons, Volume 3 has nine studios creating the shorts, this time returning to Japan like in the first series. Four of the studios are back: Kamikaze Douga, Kinema citrus Co., Production I.G, and TRIGGER. The other five studios are new to the project. They are David Production, Polygon Pictures, Project Studio Q, WIT Studio, and ANIMA, the last teaming up with Kamikaze Douga.

In Volume 1, Kamikaze Douga+ created "The Duel," Kinema Citrus made the Emmy Award contender "The Village Bride," Production IG crafted the fan-favorite "The Ninth Jedi," and TRIGGER did double duty with "The Twins" and "The Elder."

Fans are already wondering if we will see sequel shorts for these particular episodes. These represent the highest-praised or most memorable episodes from Volume 1. Already, "The Duel" has had multiple books or comics continuing the story of Ronin. "The Ninth Jedi," "The Elder," and "The Twins" were all featured in the Star Wars: Visions manga adaptation alongside "Lop and Ocho," so there is recognition in other media that fans wanted these stories in particular.

Personally, I'm losing my mind over this announcement. Star Wars: Visions is my favorite project out of the Disney era. I adored the first season, giving me a blend of anime and a galaxy far, far away that I always wanted growing up. Volume 2 took the storytelling to another level, with "Screecher's Reach" rewiring my brain how I thought about Star Wars and its storytelling. Volume 3 returning back to anime makes sense too, with Star Wars Celebration set in Japan in April. We probably won't get more updates or a first look until then.

Still, I am losing my mind over this announcement, and I can't wait to see what Star Wars: Visions brings us in 2025.

Visions' adaptation shows we need more than just "The Duel". Visions' adaptation shows we need more than just "The Duel". dark. Next
