Nine short films made up the first season of “Star Wars: Visions”, telling their own stories from the different corners and eras of the “Star Wars” saga without being directly tied to well-known stories or bound by strict canon . Above all, it was a visual feast for the eyes – influenced by Japanese anime. The seven different anime studios behind the project were each given free rein for their films.
After “Star Wars: Visions” was well received by fans, they can look forward to nine more shorts, the trailer of which already teases you. The special thing is the now even greater variation, which can already be seen here. Because this time animation studios from all over the world were invited – and so, among others, the British Aardman Animations Studios “Star Wars”, known for stop-motion and clay animations such as “Wallace & Gromit” and “Shaun the Sheep”, have put their own stamp on “Star Wars”.
