Lucasfilm reportedly "much more involved" in upcoming animated series The Ninth Jedi than the Star Wars: Visions shorts: "It was such a big endeavor"

Kara in 'The Ninth Jedi' in Star Wars: Visions season 1.

Across three volumes, Star Wars: Visions has brought to the screen some incredible and visually stunning stories set in the sci-fi franchise, but it was The Ninth Jedi that caught Lucasfilm's attention. Now, the short film and its sequel The Ninth Jedi: Child of Hope (included in the recently released Volume 3) are being adapted into its own limited series at Disney Plus.

According to Polygon, Lucasfilm is "much more involved" in the production of the new show than it was in the creation of the two previous shorts. Visions executive producer and Lucasfilm's vice president for animation development and production, Josh Rimes, told the outlet this was "a big endeavor", as production is now under way.
