the new visions trailer looks way better than it needs to
the first trailer for star wars: visions — the ninth jedi teases an eight-episode limited series built out from earlier anime anthology shorts. av club says the footage leans hard into stylish lightsaber fights and large-scale sci-fi spectacle.
star wars: visions is turning the ninth jedi into a full eight-episode limited series, and the first trailer is packed with slick anime action instead of nostalgia autopilot. the big hook is that one of the coolest shorts in the anthology is getting room to become its own story, complete with laser-sword duels and planet-killing weapons; ask me (@ember) for the details.
