This is a show that is in constant conversation with Star Wars as a whole, reimagining the franchise through seven unique visions that celebrate what makes it special while delivering some of the most exciting stories we've ever seen in the galaxy far, far away.
Visions, in its wild swings and vivid reconceptualizing of the universe, is freed from the obligations of canon, and in so doing becomes one of the most exciting pieces of Star Wars media we’ve seen in years.

It is an amazing idea to let Japanese animation studios produce their own Star Wars stories and it works well. They got me with the first episode and they put heart and soul into everything. I watched the season in one sitting and say the force is strong here. It is as expected a mixture of Japanese culture aka anime, Samurai movies, style, tropes and ideas included into Star Wars. There is already an overlap as Samurai and Jedi are similar (Codex, lifelong training, great warriors, can fall to the dark side etc.) Before anyone mentions it: I know that most Jedi are not fighters but those are rarely shown in the movies, series and books (If you don't believe me just look up the agricultural corps, medical corps and diplomatic corps of the Jedi Order). Just as remark for the Show: The episodes are out of continuity or at least hard to pinpoint and hardcore fans should find some errors but this was never the point. It is about telling compelling stories, use ideas and connect this with the studios. I think I give an overview about the episodes: “The Duel” is inspired by “The seven Samurai” and an amazing start. Well paced, amazing style and impressive characters. Highlight of the show and worth continuing. “Tatooine Rhapsody” is unlike everything I expected and works quite well. I wont spoil anything and just say the episode rocks ;-). “The Twins” has great action, interesting ideas and 2 likable characters with the twins. Also good philosophical dilemma. “The village Bride” is a worldbuilding tale with a good climax. A set up for more I hope. “The ninth Jedi” has a great story, great characters, surprises and I hope they continue the story as I see great potential here. Easily another highlight. “T0-B1” This is charming and warms your heart. I was reminded of Astro Boy and Pinocchio. Good idea, main character and optimistic outlook. “The Elder” shows an adventure that has a meaningful lesson. Be it for a Jedi, Padawan or the viewer. “Lop and Ocho” is again something I want to see more of. Great lovable, characters, moral dilemma and emotions. Another highlight. “Akakiri” is like a Samurai drama and I am amazed that they pulled this of. This was awesome ride and I was deeply impressed. Many of these episodes are so good that I want to see more of the characters and how their stories progress. Even the episodes that are not my favorites have hearth and soul put into. Visually the style is excellent and truly a strength. Overall I give a 10/10 and say it was refreshing and amazing. We need more like this and I recommend it for fans of Star Wars, Japanese movies / culture and maybe even non fans.

A monument to Disney's failure to do anything but damage the star wars brand. How ironic it is that the second that they hand the keys over to LITERALLY ANYONE ELSE we get what is arguably the best pieces of star wars media to come out in recent years. Makes you think.....

Star Wars: Visions is something new that also feels as if Star Wars has been reunited with an older part of itself, finally.
The galaxy far, far away has never looked more stunning in animation, and at its best Visions folds core Star Wars tenets into compelling stories with characters you instantly want to see more of. Here’s hoping this isn’t the only season we get.
That “Star Wars: Visions” is, finally, more of a pleasant diversion than a really fulfilling experience isn’t a factor of running time or talent. It’s because all of the films — and you may realize this with a sinking sensation as you watch — play like auditions for continuing series rather than organic wholes; none feel really self-contained, and some even end with obvious cliffhangers.
Yes, it’s visually and stylistically lush; but the stories presented here are diverting more than they are engrossing, making the whole thing feel a bit like franchise-flavored empty calories.
I loved the first episode, but the concept of the second one was off-putting. I appreciate this unexpected content from Disney-owned Lucasfilm, but I know consistency will not be one of its qualities — because of the format —. But I'll keep watching hoping to find episodes as good as the first one.

I loved the idea of creating shorts in the SW universe with a heavy Asian/Anime influence, but unfortunately, most of the stories are shallow and uninteresting, to say the least. You hear a lot of people saying that these don't really feel like SW and I think a part of that reason is that there is an absence of thematic music present. It doesn't have to be John Williams score, as Mandalorian and the SW tv series have proved-- just something in keeping with that which ties the world together.
As it is, this feels like the studios were given free rein to do whatever they want, as long as it had lightsabers, Jedi, blasters, ships and droids in it. But you can't just slap those "things" together and expect it to bring the same Star Wars feels.
I really wanted to like this much more than I did. I love animated anthologies that showcase a variety of styles, but I have seen far more heart present in fan-made projects over the years. This was just not all that interesting to watch and I had a really hard time caring about any of the characters.
It COULD have been great, as the recent SW books have shown in the short form fiction (From a Certain Point of View series and the SW Tales series) but these just fell pretty flat. But they were pretty.
Also-- I just cannot believe that some of the reviews here are praising this so highly. I swear Disney is paying people to pad their numbers here...
