Star Wars: Visions is coming back this year, and it is very anime again. Disney dropped a new trailer and confirmed the streaming date for Volume 3, which brings back some fan-favorite characters and reunites the anthology with a stacked slate of Japanese studios. Yes, Steve Buscemi is in the cast. I am listening.
When and where
Visions Volume 3 premieres on Disney+ October 29, 2025.
Who is back
If you were into the standouts from Volume 1, good news: the Ronin from 'The Duel,' F from 'The Village Bride,' and Lah Kara from 'The Ninth Jedi' all return for new chapters.
Back to Japan (by design)
After Volume 2 went international in 2023, this third round brings the focus back to Japan with nine brand-new anime shorts from heavy-hitter studios: david production, Kamikaze Douga + ANIMA, Kinema citrus Co., Polygon Pictures, Production I.G, Project Studio Q, TRIGGER, and WIT Studio. The English- and Japanese-language trailers are both live now.
"Star Wars: Visions" celebrates the mythology of Star Wars through unique cultural lenses.
