Wait it's not canon? That's disappointing.

I think it's kind of cool, to be honest. Less interference from Disney as to what can and can't be done which means we might actually see some fresh takes on Star Wars. Those fresh takes might not be considered canon but may inspire others to make some more interesting in-canon choices in other Star Wars media.

This had gone under my radar until now, looks really exciting. I've found all the past Star Wars animated shows a bit meh to be honest, but this looks like the real deal. They should have just commissioned anime studios to do all the animated shows from the beginning, they would all have been a heck of a lot better imho.

Nice! Looks interesting. Saw Ghibli in there somewhere

This looks kind of stunning, and that's coming from someone who hates anime.

THINGS WE LEARNED FROM THE STAR WARS: VISIONS PANEL
https://www.starwars.com/news/anime-...r-wars-visions

The Duel “The thing he was really clear on was that he just wanted this to be a love letter to Star Wars,” Waugh said. “The core theme of this short ends up being such a Star Wars story.” The tale is ultimately about someone who must choose selflessness, a core Star Wars theme.

Lop and Ochō features a space bunny-person. Her name is Lop and we love her already. “She is cute and expressive and completely unwavering in her devotion to good and family and loyalty,” Lopez said. “She’s awesome.”

Tatooine Rhapsody is heading into uncharted Star Wars waters. “It’s a Star Wars rock opera,” said Rimes of the story, about a band with a dream to make it big. “We took a chance and they just blew us away with the style and the characters and the tone, and really the heart of what is best in Star Wars about found family and the dream.” It’s also one of the few shorts to feature classic characters, as our heroic band will run into Boba Fett and Jabba the Hutt.

The Twins “subverts the idea of Luke and Leia and imagines a brand-new set of twins born into the dark side, and how far the brother will go to save his sister.

The Elder is a homage to a classic Star Wars master and Padawan relationship,” said Shirasaki. “You’ll also find the dual meaning of the title after you watch the short.”

The Village Bride by Kinema Citrus follows a fallen Jedi, but not in a way you’d expect. The guardian of peace and justice observes a local tradition in a far-off village through the eyes of a bride on the eve of her wedding day, and an unexpected choice she must make to save her people. “It’s poetic, meditative, and romantically bittersweet,” Shirasaki said. “This short also approaches the Force in a really unique and surprising way, too.”

Akakiri is a beautiful yet painful story about a princess.

T0-B1 is a cute and fun story of an adorable droid who dreams to be a Jedi.

The Ninth Jedi “is an absolutely epic story,” according to Rimes. But it actually began as two separate shorts. One was to be set in a time when Jedi have fallen into legend and need to come back as darkness threatens the galaxy, with the daughter of a lightsabersmith seeking out the Jedi and delivering their weapons. The other story was to be told from the point of view of eight warriors coming together, learning if they are indeed Force sensitive and can trust each other. Ultimately, the decision was made to combine the stories in order to achieve something on a grander scale. “We brought those two tales together to create something really epic and special,” Rimes said. “They had us at ‘lightsabersmith,’” added Lopez.

Lol, the video was moving so fast I saw Studio Colorido and Geno Studio and thought it said Studio Ghibli. Doesn't hurt to dream, right?

Never really got the whole anime hating thing. Japanese anime is so multifaceted, containing every genre and style imaginable, that it’s surely not really possible to hate it all?
I guess I’m a bit biased though, as I’ve been watching it most of my life, and have to say my film/tv loving life has been made all the better for it

Now I get to thank the video too! Thanks!

Still can’t wait for this. I love that they are being described as short films, and we have this thread in the TV Shows section, and another thread posted in the Anime section… and the content itself looks like it’s going to cross genres and traditions and mediums and cultures. It’s so very Star Wars. I’m sure some people won’t be on board, but that’s ok. I’ve dreamed of something like this for years… decades really. I’m not familiar with everything from all the studios, but I have seen a reasonable selection, and I’m pretty happy at the prospect of seeing what they will all do with this.

I can't watch modern Japanese character designs anymore. I'm bored of all the noseless (or tiny, upturned noses), chinless, big-eyed (with tiny irises), jawless, crazy-haired, lipless, skinny, lanky character designs. A lot of that stuff can be visually attractive in the medium, but it's all so homogenized and generic now. A few exceptions here and there don't break the rule. That stupid, cutesy bunny character they have is so typical of the shit they do now. The Animatrix wasn't that good, but at least it came out when there was still more design variety in Japan.

[Show spoiler]

The Wachowskis were cool for seeking out so many vastly different styles. Something which I don't see from Disney here.

Oh yeah, this looks like a lot of fun.

Cute, small, lanky, petite, flashy. My first paragraph is applicable to a lot of those too, including dots or little triangles for noses. Some of the men look scruffy and masculine, but overall, very typical of modern anime, those screenshots.
