Lucasfilm and Production I.G. hav e premiered the new trailer for “Star Wars: Visions Presents – The Ninth Jedi,” a new anime limited series coming to the Disney+ and Hulu platforms on August 5th.
A spin-off of the”Star Wars: Visions” animated anthology series, the story explores characters previously shown in that anthology and so, as such, is NOT part of the larger “Star Wars” canon.
The project is essentially a follow-up to “The Ninth Jedi” and “Child of Hope” episodes of ‘Visions’. The action is set long after the Skywalker Saga in a galaxy where Jedi have faded into myth, lightsabers are almost impossible to find.
We follow Kara, a girl sensitive to force, on quest to find her legendary saber-smith father who may represent the last hope for restoring balance.
Kenji Kamiyama returns as supervising director and Shunsuke Tada as lead director, the pair having worked together before on “Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex” and “Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War”.
Lucasfilm unveiled the new trailer at Anime Expo which is currently underway in Los Angeles.
