The priority is visual beauty and a chance to tell new and/or different stories within the established universe.Įven more so than The Clone Wars (which enriched the Star Wars prequel trilogy and offered up fan-favorite newbies like Ahsoka Tano and Rex) and Rebels (which introduced more new marquee characters for Star Wars fans), Visions follows its path and crafts its own respective destinies.
They run 13 to 22 minutes, with continuity being at best a vague concern. There are few “original trilogy” characters offered up and even fewer connections to the Skywalker Saga in these standalone episodes. The hook is letting many talented Japanese animators from seven different studios (Production I.G., Geno Studio, Kamikaze Douga, Studio Colorido, TRIGGER, Kinema Citrus and Science Saru) get to play in the Star Wars sandbox, with little in the way of obvious editorial dictates. It’s also a glance at a future where Star Wars films and shows aren’t rigidly tied down to the continuity of A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.
