Star Wars drought is over, 2022 is already lined up with great projects which include shows like “The Bad Batch (Season2)”, “The Mandalorian (Season 3)”, but this year Disney+ without any ceremonial promotion or marketing realized one of the fresh Perspective or exciting show in the past decade from Star Wars Universe.
That is “Star Wars: Visions”, this needs to be your next watch. It is an Anime anthology series, it is a collective product of nine episodes of anime, created by one of the best six animation studios in Japan. The show is released In Japanese and English. The English cast is star-studded. It includes actors like; Neil Patrick Harris, Lucy Liu, Henry Golding, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Temuera Morrison as Boba Fett.
The Show Is Worth The Wait
For decades now Star wars are playing within their mantle, finally this show is a bold move and it takes time but finally, Lucasfilm gave something magical both narratively and visually. As the show just dropped from nowhere, people are still not aware of the show. Although word of the mouth promotion is finally paying off and the first wave of reaction from the audience is coming, the quantity is still at askew but the quality is incredible.
Critics in their social media platforms provided their first reaction and most of the comments are complimentary. Almost every aspect of the show is getting praise, such as; the animation, creativity, narrative, display, storylines, even the effort and imagination behind the show is getting hard praise.
Bryan Young from SyFy believes the show was fantastic. He also praised the variety of storylines and practically demanded more of Vision.
#StarWarsVisions was nothing short of fantastic. The animation was gorgeous across the board. I loved how varied the breadth of stories were and there are so many I fell in love with. I hope they continue more of these stories and keep this program up.
We need more of this. pic.twitter.com/6udJRZukvb
