The official YouTube channels for the Star Wars franchise and Disney+ have begun streaming the final trailer for Star Wars: Visions Presents – The Ninth Jedi, a limited anime series spun off from the Star Wars: Visions anthology project. The trailer is available in both an English dub version and a Japanese dub version with English subtitles.
The Birth of Star Wars: Visions Presents
The Star Wars Celebration Japan 2025 event announced in April 2025 that the Star Wars: Visions anthology would be expanding under the new banner Star Wars: Visions Presents, giving its animated stories room to be told in longer, more developed narratives. The “The Ninth Jedi” short from the first volume is the inaugural story to receive this treatment.
Staff
Kenji Kamiyama, known for Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex and Eden of the East, returns from the original “The Ninth Jedi” short in a new capacity as supervising director and series script supervisor.

Star Wars: Visions – A Growing Universe
Star Wars: Visions Volume 2 launched on Disney+ on May 4, 2023 (Star Wars Day). While the first volume comprised nine shorts exclusively from Japanese creators and anime studios, Volume 2 broadened its scope to nine shorts from animation studios across the globe — including Japan, India, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Spain, Chile, France, South Africa, South Korea, and the United States.
Star Wars: Visions Volume 3 then debuted on Disney+ in October 2025, continuing the storylines of three shorts from the original volume: “The Duel,” “Village Bride,” and “The Ninth Jedi.” Separate from the new limited series, a standalone short titled “The Ninth Jedi: Child of Hope” explores a war that had been raging even before the first short’s protagonist Kara was born.
