Disney says each Star Wars: Visions short will feature Japanese sensibilities while also aligning “with the tone and spirit of Star Wars storytelling,” and notes that “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.”
