Disney+ Hotstar revealed the names of the seven Japanese anime studios that were involved in the creation of “Star Wars: Visions”. The new series will feature a collection of animated short films from Lucasfilms that will stream exclusively on Disney+Hotstar. The seven anime studios will produce a total of nine shorts for Star Wars: Visions.
Below are the anime studios involved & the title of the shorts:
Kamikaze Douga – The Duel
Geno Studio (Twin Engine) – Lop and Ochō
Studio Colorido (Twin Engine) – Tatooine Rhapsody
Trigger – The Twins
Trigger – The Elder
Kinema Citrus – The Village Bride
Science Saru – Akakiri
Science Saru – T0-B1
Production IG – The Ninth Jedi
Each studio will be incorporating their signature animation and storytelling styles into each short, bringing a special look and feel to Star Wars. Each short will include a unique Japanese sensibility that aligns with the Star Wars storytelling that fans love.
From the beginning, stories told in the Star Wars galaxy have counted Japanese mythology and the films of Akira Kurosawa among their many influences, and these new visions will further explore that cultural heritage through the unique animation style and perspective of each anime studio.
Mark your calendars because the “Star Wars: Visions” will premiere on Disney+ Hotstar on 22 September 2021.
