Star Wars: Visions!

[thwhtGuardian]

With how much George Lucas has borrowed from Japanese culture in creating Star Wars it just seems natural to give the reins of the Universe to anime directors for a project like this...and it looks stunning!

I can't wait until September to see this!

This looks like it'll be pretty cool .

It wont be canonical.

However I'm really interested in seeing an anime take on the material. It looks like it's going to be a lot of fun.

Probably for the best so they can go all out with it .

It does look like its repurposing some old TFA concept art. One of those (at least I think it was for TFA) was with a lightsaber cutting a star destroyer in half while flying under it via X-wing. Ridiculous but not out of place for anime. I think I even spotted a character design from the sequels here but I can't place where it originates. Then again it might just be coincidence.

Really am excited for whatever's going on with the tiny sith guy. That looks like it'd be a cool looking duel.

Kind of interesting it's taken this long, as anime tie-ins to motion pictures were pretty big a decade and a half ago (Animatrix, Batman Gotham Knight).

Then again this isn't Star Wars first rodeo with Japanese productions; In the 90s and 00s there were manga adaptations of the first four films, and more recently some of the YA novels and some animation like Rebels have been adapted to manga format.
