Star Wars television has become an empire that would make Palpatine jealous. After The Clone Wars and Rebels kept the franchise’s TV side going with animation, The Mandalorian shifted the focus to live-action, spawning spinoffs like The Book of Boba Fett and Ahsoka. But the animated side has still been churning along, with The Bad Batch continuing the legacy of The Clone Wars and Young Jedi Adventures offering something for the youngest Star Wars fans.
Most intriguing, though, is Star Wars Visions, an animated anthology series telling standalone stories set throughout the Star Wars timeline. Season 1, released in 2021, featured episodes created by a variety of Japanese animation studios, giving fans an anime-influenced take on Star Wars that echoed old samurai stories and Studio Ghibli movies. In Season 2, the international focus spread across the entire world, featuring work from Aardman in the United Kingdom, Ireland’s Cartoon Saloon, and Studio Mir in South Korea.
