In 2021, Star Wars Visions presented a collection of new views of the galaxy far, far away—a season’s worth of shorts from a collection of Japanese animation studios. For the show’s second season—excuse me, Vol. 2—the series broadens its reach, pulling in animators from all around the globe.
The new collection of shorts lands on a meaningful day for Star Wars fans: May 4th.

At StarWars.com, Visions executive producer James Waugh said:
“We always saw Star Wars: Visions as a framework for celebratory expressions of the franchise from some of the best creators working today. Animation is in a global renaissance, and we’re constantly staggered by the amount of creativity pushing the medium forward. With Volume 1, the imaginative minds of Japan’s anime industry were on full display. With Volume 2, we expanded our canvas to take audiences on a global tour of some of the most talented creators from around the world.”
Star Wars Visions Vol. 2 premieres on Disney+ on May 4th.
