Grade: A
Star Wars has been in a state of flux since the Disney takeover; its Skywalker trilogy was a mixed bag, ending in disappointment, and the spin-off/origin story films were breezy but forgettable. On the small screen it’s been similarly divisive, with The Mandalorian being the expected heavy hitter, but besides the great first season of Andor, it’s been mostly forgettable. So when the first volume/season of its anthology program Star Wars Visions released in fall 2021 with little fanfare, it understandably flew under the radar for casual fans. But for Star Wars and animation fans, the gambit proved to be a welcome change.
