When Star Wars: Views debuted in 2021, it was rightfully praised for giving some of Japan’s top anime studios free rein to design their own, ahem, visions of what the Star Wars universe could look like . While the results have generally been excellent, season two will be produced outside of Japan.
There will be nine short films in the upcoming series, featuring work from different countries. For season two, Star Wars will be represented by nine different multinational studios from nine different countries. The titles of their short films, that’s all we currently know, are listed below:

It’s a bit strange. While I love the concept of Visions expanding its horizons with Star Wars visions from around the world, I’m also a little disappointed that there won’t be any additional Star Wars anime.
It was really great stuff! While we won’t have much time to see what these nine studios have created, that doesn’t mean these shorts aren’t going to be fantastic. On May 4, the second season of Star Wars Visions will no doubt begin streaming on Disney Plus, as God planned.
