'Today at Star Wars Celebration Japan, an exciting announcement came out of the Star Wars: Visions Volume 3 panel. After Lucasfilm’s James Waugh revealed a release date for the nine new Star Wars: Visions shorts - October 29, 2025 - he announced an all-new spin-off series of longer stories from Star Wars: Visions.

He invited “The Ninth Jedi” writer and director Kenji Kamiyama to the stage, who thanked the audience for being so supportive and enthusiastic about the adventures of Kara and Juro in “The Ninth Jedi” and the upcoming “Child of Hope.” He then announced that fans will watch Kara’s journey continue to unfold in an all-new spinoff called “Star Wars: Visions Presents - The Ninth Jedi.”

“I made a short story called ‘The Ninth Jedi’ during Volume 1,” said Kamiyama. “Director Shiotani is making one more film this time [“Child of Hope”], and it ends with Kara’s departure to look for her father in the first short film.”

“Star Wars: Visions — The Ninth Jedi” features lightsabers that change color depending on one’s Force, according to Kamiyama, and that Kara’s father invented these lightsabers and has been kidnapped.

“What in the world was the reason for such lightsabers,” Kamiyama continues. “I think it will be a story where those secrets will be told.”

Kamiyama concluded by explaining that he will be working in the capacity of supervising director on “Star Wars: Visions Presents — The Ninth Jedi.”’

‘Visions: Volume 3’ airs on 29th October 2025; while the ‘Star Wars: Visions Presents – The Ninth Jedi’ series airs in 2026.

Episode Guide for Visions Vol. 1 ‘The Ninth Jedi’: www.starwars.com/series/star-wars-visions/episode-guide-the-ninth-jedi

I’m really looking forward to see what they come with for this new spin-off series. For me Visions is a quality anthology series - full different animated styles… and I love that none of the stories are ‘canon’ - so any of the stories aren’t restricted or bound by that (with no memberberries or key-jangling cameo appearances or ‘series setups’ etc all to prevalent in certain other GFFA content).

‘The Ninth Jedi’ is probably one of the strongest and well received episodes (and stories) of Visions so far - so it should be interesting to see what the next installment will be in ‘Visions: Volume 3’ - and then with this new animated spinoff series.

If anyone hasn’t yet seen ‘The Ninth Jedi’ episode from Visions Volume 1 (the 5th episode)… you’re in for a treat - something different and fresh in the GFFA; with a striking animation style, stunning direction / cinematography, and quality soundtrack.
