Star Wars: Visions is one of the most successful animated series by the franchise solely because of its unique concept. The show’s first season was made up of nine animated shorts, all produced by various Japanese studios like Trigger, Production I.G., and more.
Recently the franchise announced the series’ second volume but kept the details under cover for a long time until now.
The official Star Wars website has confirmed that Star Wars: Visions volume 2 will debut on May 4, 2023, popularly known as Star Wars Day.
