Welcome to a galaxy far, far away as you’ve never seen it before. The first trailer for the Disney+ anthology Star Wars: Visions dropped today, giving us a new look at the beloved franchise’s first major anime series. The series will showcase nine original stories from seven top Japanese anime studios. Fans can catch glimpses of these new tales in the Visions trailer, which preview a wide range of Star Wars tales. Jabba the Hutt appears in a rock opera in one moment, while two characters engage in a classic Sith and Jedi battle in another.
