In my review of Star Wars: Visions Volume 2, I called it “a towering achievement for Lucasfilm and animation,” and marked Screecher’s Reach and In the Stars as personal favorites of mine. The Emmys also recognized the show, awarding Star Wars: Visions an Emmy in production design.
Following its success, Star Wars: Visions has been reportedly renewed for a third season. However, there hasn’t been any news of when the third season will be released. In terms of animation, the only confirmed shows for 2024 have been The Bad Batch and Tales of the Jedi, not to mention Young Jedi Adventures, which just announced that its final episodes of season 1 will be debuting on Disney Plus on February 14.
