Disney and Lucasfilm have confirmed that the animated anthology series Star Wars: Visions will return for a third volume in 2025. The announcement was made during Disney’s two-day Content Showcase event in Singapore, delighting fans of the franchise’s imaginative storytelling.

Volume 3 will bring the series back to its roots, featuring nine new animated shorts exclusively created by renowned Japanese anime studios.
