Star wars visions 1 temporada animes club

Disney is bringing fans new Star Wars content in the form of Star Wars: Visions, a collection of shorts inspired by Japanese anime.

Star Wars: Visions will release September 22 on Disney+ and Disney+ Hotstar, Disney-owned Lucasfilm announced at Anime Expo Lite on Sunday, along with a three-minute sneak peek. There will be a total of nine short films in the anthology animated series Star Wars: Visions, which will feature a fallen Jedi, a princess, Japanese iconography, a “Star Wars rock opera”, a droid who wishes to be a Jedi, and Luke and Leia-type twins born to the dark side of the Force among others.

Kinema Citrus’s “The Village Bride” pays homage to another great: Hayao Miyazaki, founder of Studio Ghibli. With a score from renowned anime composer Kevin Penkin, the brightly colored story incorporates one planet’s customs and grasp of the Force as well as the mystery of a Jedi student lost after Order 66. “I think that one rose to the top with a lot of us,” Lopez says. “We started seeing the storyboards and then seeing the color, it was like, ‘Wow, this is really special.’ It was so ethereal and it was that Ghibli style, the slow pacing. It’s amazing how much you get immersed in that story, even though it’s, you know, 12-14 minutes long.”
