June 26th, 2021 by Marc Comments

We learned late last year that this year would see a series set in the Star Wars universe unlike any that come before (here)

Star Wars: Visions is an animated series created by world-class Japanese anime creators and, best of all, it’s due in 2021. And that is all we know so far about the show,

Except for now.

We have now learned that the first look at the highly anticipated series will come to Anime Expo next month!

We are excited to announce that Lucasfilm will bring a galaxy far, far away to Anime Expo Lite this July with Star Wars: Visions – Sneak Preview.

Join host and pop culture maven Chastity Vicencio and Lucasfilm’s Jacqui Lopez (Executive Producer), James Waugh (Executive Producer), Josh Rimes (Executive Producer), and Qubic Pictures’ Justin Leach (Co-Executive Producer) and Kanako Shirasaki (Producer) for an inside look at Star Wars: Visions before the series debuts on Disney+ later this year.

Panel details: Star Wars: Visions – Sneak Preview

July 3, 2021 / 3:00PM PST

Duration: 30 minutes

We’re not sure yet if this will be available to all or an event-exclusive sneak peek, but we know we’re hoping it’ll hit the interwebs soon after for all of us who cannot attend.

Lucasfilm’s Star Wars: Visions is an upcoming anthology of animated shorts celebrating Star Wars through the lens of the world’s best anime creators and storytellers. Tune in for a sneak peek that will leave you excited for this all-new vision of the galaxy far, far away!

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
