The animated anthology series Star Wars: Visions, produced by Lucasfilm, returns for its third season. Scheduled exclusively on Disney+, this new salvo of nine short films will be released on October 29, 2025. True to its Japanese roots, Volume 3 pays tribute to Japanese animation by entrusting each episode to a recognized Japanese studio, following on from the first two seasons, which had already made their mark and won several international awards.
This trailer reveals the first images of this third volume, focusing on the creativity and audacity of Japanese studios, and promises a variety of stories in the Star Wars universe.
Star Wars: Visions season 3 will be available for streaming on Disney+ from October 29, 2025.
Synopsis: This anthology series invites several Japanese animation studios to revisit the Star Wars universe through nine original short films, each offering a unique artistic and narrative approach.
With this third volume, the series returns to the essence of the project: showcasing the richness and diversity ofJapanese animation. Studios involved include Kamikaze Douga, Project Studio Q, Production I.G, WIT STUDIO, Kinema Citrus, TRIGGER, Polygon Pictures and David Production. Each episode explores a different facet of the Star Wars galaxy, blending intimate stories, epic adventures and bold visual experimentation.
For the original version, a number of renowned actors take part in this season, including Anna Sawai, Freddie Highmore, George Takei, Harvey Guillén, Jodie Turner-Smith, Judith Light, Simu Liu, Stephanie Hsu and Steve Buscemi. These voices contribute to enriching immersion in untold stories that resonate with Star Wars mythology with new artistic sensibilities.
This third volume should appeal to a wide audience: Star Wars fans curious to discover alternative narratives, Japanese animation fans keen to explore the creativity of contemporary studios, as well as viewers appreciative of visual and narrative anthologies. The approach is reminiscent of other international projects such as Animatrix or Love, Death & Robots, which combine artistic experimentation and popular universes.
Debuting in 2021, this animated anthology series is made up of independent volumes, each featuring original short films produced by studios around the world. After a first season focused on Japanese anime and a second open to international studios, season 3 refocuses its approach on Japan, with a clear ambition: to renew the saga through the prism of inventive contemporary animation.
