Star Wars: Visions Presents, The Ninth Jedi trailer reveals Aug 5 Disney+ debut

tvJul 3, 202629888

Star Wars: Visions Presents - The Ninth Jedi hit its first trailer after an Anime Expo reveal that the eight-episode limited anime will stream August 5, sparking excitement as Production I.G. expands a beloved original Visions short into a longer story. The studio and creators, including supervising director Kenji Kamiyama, director Shunsuke Tada and producer Hitoshi Ito, were pictured alongside the announcement, and early viewers say the opening episode benefits from the extra room to deepen the world. Conversations center on the Ninth Jedi’s new timeline beyond the Skywalker era and specific character hooks, with some fans calling for a darker arc for the so-called space Kitty Pryde. Enthusiasts who saw the premiere footage describe it as a bolder, more inventive take that preserves the original short’s unpredictability while widening its scope.

THIS is the future of Star Wars.

I got into Star Wars when I was a preteen. That was also during my big anime phase. If you told preteen me that Star Wars would get an official anime, I would have thought you were pulling my leg with “You can unlock Goku in Melee, my uncle works at Nintendo” nonsense.

And stuff like this is why all those people who say “Star Wars is dead” can kick rocks.

How cute, an anime retelling of A New Hope. When will they ever- Wait, theyre WHAT now?!?

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! Ever since the 1st season of Visions I’d been screaming for this to be a series!

The people demand more Lop and Ochō.

Aaron @ SW Legends Lounge2

I hope the Ninth Jedi series does well enough that we get other Visions series. Personally, I'd love to get more from The Village Bride, Lop & Ocho, Sith, The Spy Dancer, and The Lost Ones.

I want a series about Jedi F in the future. They have taken so many steps to keep the second episode connected to the canon (Yoda mention, Empire, a inquisitor numbered zero) plus the story was so bittersweet. It would be a shame to not have more of her.

I WANT MORE LOP AND OCHO

Hoping the series will be on Disney+ sooner than expected. Obviously we'll find out with the trailer, which should be releasing at about 7:00 PM ET based on the the LA Anime Expo info. My only wishes for the series itself is that it's good! Have no major expectations, but legit can't wait!

F deserves a series of her own, but I would love to see Visions keep expanding. More books, comics, etc.

JazzyTyfighter13

I hope Visions never ends. I hope they keep reaching out to different studios from around the world. Seeing the many different takes on #StarWars makes this series stand out while feeling fresh and being a celebration of the franchise.

Gimme a pod racing anime akin to The Running Man from Neo Tokyo (1987) IYKYK

Key part of The Ninth Jedi press release, making it clear more Star Wars Visions series/stuff is coming. #StarWars

Part of an all-new "Star Wars: Visions Presents" banner, which will be used to tell longer-form "Star Wars: Visions" stories the limited series picks up not long after the events of the “Visions" shorts: "The Ninth Jedi" and "The Ninth Jedi: Child of Hope." In the new series, Lah Kara continues to train in the ways of the Jedi under Margrave Juro. Kara goes on an epic journey of self-discovery as she and Juro's small fellowship of Jedi-in-training embark on a quest to save her father.

Ronin series please! Also, just more regular Visions with studios from around the world, please! This is one of the coolest things the brand has done!

‘Star Wars: Visions Presents - The Ninth Jedi’ streams August 5!! Just over a month out! That’s terrific. I’ll never forget how I felt after watching the original episode in the first Visions season and how I wanted to see more of this one in particular, and now here we are! Looks fantastic.

It was the absolute standout for Visions V1. Blew me away at the time. I also wanted an entire series in that universe from that moment on, and here we are indeed. What a trailer!

Canadian Tokusatsu Donald1

It felt like a pilot and now we’re getting the main story in full.

Oooh and that poster for the series is just perfect! 💚

I always really dug this guy, who I guess is named “Homen”. Hope to see more of him in the series!

Blast Points

@blastpoints.bsky.social

The Ninth Jedi is Star Wars like you’ve never seen it before. Right away in the first episode it takes all the fun and unpredictable wildness of the previous Visions shorts and cranks it all up to eleven. Highly, highly recommended. 🙌💥

I can say that I’ve seen the first episode of Star Wars: The Ninth Jedi. It’s no secret this was one of my favorites coming out of the original Visions series and seeing it in a longer format, able to breathe, is a treat. It’s unique take on Star Wars is fascinating.
