While the expansive Star Wars franchise has had more prosperous times, Disney Plus’ Visions animated series has consistently been outstanding through its first two seasons. The creative teams behind the upcoming third installment hint at another impressive offering. This anthology series will revisit three storylines from earlier episodes in this third volume. Additionally, the episode “The Ninth Jedi” from Visions Volume 1 is getting its own offshoot series under the new Star Wars: Visions Presents label.
Star Wars: Visions Volume Three is slated to launch on October 29th, 2025, Disney and Lucasfilm announced during Star Wars Celebration in Japan. Executive producer James Waugh mentioned during a panel at the event that the third season will feature nine episodes, with three continuing the popular storylines from Volume 1 episodes: “The Duel,” “The Village Bride,” and “The Ninth Jedi,” as reported by The Hollywood Reporter.
Following the third volume, Star Wars: Visions Presents — The Ninth Jedi is scheduled for release in 2026. The plot of “The Ninth Jedi” involves lightsabers whose color is determined by the wielder’s connection to the Force—red for evil; blue for good. Kenji Kaniyama, the writer and director of “The Ninth Jedi,” will take the role of supervising director for the spinoff. According to THR, this is just the beginning, as more Visions Presents spinoffs are in the works, offering storytellers a platform to craft longer, more in-depth narratives than what the anthology format has previously allowed.
Like the first season, Volume 3’s stories are produced by different Japanese creative teams. Studios Kamikaze Douga, Kinema Citrus Co., Production IG, and Trigger are all returning to Visions. But we can also expect to see fresh takes on the Star Wars universe from newcomers Anima, David Production, Polygon Pictures, Project Studio Q, and WIT Studio.
Waugh and filmmakers working on Volume 3 episodes talked about what’s coming and showed off character designs and artwork. THR described, for instance, an AT-AT — the gigantic, four-legged walkers armed with lasers that first showed up in The Empire Strikes Back — with a Japanese building on top.
Masaki Tachibana from the anime studio Kinema Citrus previewed an “especially kawaii” episode called “Yuko’s Treasure,” according to THR, while Hiroyasu Kobayashi of Project Studio Q discussed an X-Wing-focused episode called “The Song of Four Wings.” ”We’re a studio that specializes in the creation of mechanisms,“ Kobayashi said, ”so we really focussed on the essence of the old Joe Johnston designs and featured a lot of droids and mechs.“
