The first look at Star Wars: Visions has been revealed, showcasing a brief glimpse at the various animation studios that will get to craft new tales from across various time periods in the galaxy far, far away.
A recent panel, held today at Anime Expo, showcased content from the first-ever Star Wars anime series, Visions. The show will take an anthology format, telling potentially-canonical and non-canonical Star Wars stories from the perspectives of a variety of Japanese animators, much like previous anime anthologies based on American franchises like The Animatrix, Batman: Gotham Knight, and Halo Legends. Early on in the panel, a short video was displayed, showcasing the talent working on Visions and glimpses at their work:
