To celebrate Star Wars Day on May 4th, Disney has announced that the first season of “Star Wars: Vision” is going to be released on Hulu for a limited time.

This anthology of animated shorts from around the world celebrates the mythos of Star Wars through unique cultural lenses.   This is the first formal venture into anime. Each “Star Wars: Visions” short bears a unique Japanese sensibility, which in many ways aligns with the tone and spirit of Star Wars storytelling. From the beginning, stories told in the Star Wars galaxy have counted Japanese mythology and the films of Akira Kurosawa among their many influences, and these new visions will further explore that cultural heritage through the unique animation style and perspective of each anime studio.

The first season of “Star Wars: Visions” features nine original short stories from seven anime studios, including Kamikaze Douga, Geno Studio (Twin Engine), Studio Colorido (Twin Engine), Trigger, Kinema Citrus, Science Saru, and Production IG.

The nine shorts include:

• The Duel
• Lop and Ochō
• Tatooine Rhapsody
• The Twins
• The Elder
• The Village Bride
• Akakiri
• T0-B1
• The Ninth Jedi

Both seasons of “Star Wars: Visions” are available to stream on Disney+.  The first season was released on Disney+ in 2021 and this continues the trend of Disney blurring the lines between Disney+ and Hulu, while also giving “Visions” a boost in viewership for those who only have a Hulu subscription.
