Star Wars: Visions Volume 3 Panel Recap
The world of Star Wars continues to run wild, specifically with everything in its animation slate. While fans are anticipating the upcoming LEGO Star Wars films, there’s one show that is making its grand return: Star Wars: Visions. The upcoming volume is set to release on Wednesday, October 29, with all episodes released. Although, Anime NYC 2025 attendees got a special look at what’s in store.
James Waugh, Vice President of Franchise Content & Strategy at Lucasfilm, also made an appearance at the Star Wars: Visions Volume 3 panel to showcase some new information about the episodes featured this time around. One of these episodes, “Black” by Akira animator Shinya Ohira, was also shown to viewers, unveiling an insanely jazzy and psychedelic examination of galactic warfare through the minds of Stormtroopers.
During the panel, Waugh also stated that he’d love to explore some of these returning stories through long-form storytelling. One of these stories, “The Ninth Jedi”, has been confirmed to get a miniseries under the banner Star Wars: Visions Presents: The Ninth Jedi. This miniseries will be developed by Ghost in the Shell’s Kenji Kamiyama and will release on Disney+ in 2026.
Fans also were also presented with exclusive concept art and visual sneak peeks into some of these episodes, which includes “Yuko’s Treasure”, “The Bird of Paradise”, and ANIMA’s returning episode, “The Duel: Payback”. The panel’s exclusive sizzle reel also showcased huge AT-ATs emerging from the ice, 3D-animated lightsaber duels, and much more.
The official poster for Star Wars: Visions Volume 3 was also released.
