At the Star Wars: Visions panel today at Star Wars Celebration Europe 2023, Lucasfilm and Disney+ revealed the official trailer for Star Wars: Visions Volume 2 — the follow-up to the critically acclaimed debut season of the animated anthology series. True to the spirit of the show, Volume 2 will feature nine new shorts from nine studios from across the globe, all with their own unique take on the saga.
The trailer is filled with quick cuts between the shorts, showcasing the diverse styles of each. There’s the colorful and intense “Sith,” which opens the trailer with a lightsaber battle; the delightful stop motion and humor of “I Am Your Mother”; and a powerful moment from 2D-animated “In the Stars” by Punkrobot, in which a girl stands her ground against a TIE fighter. Check out the stunning trailer below.
In addition, key art for the series made its debut at the panel. The image features characters from each short emerging from a stylized “2,” illustrating the wide-ranging stories, tones, and styles of every Volume 2 production.
Finally, the full cast for Volume 2 was also announced today, featuring some amazing surprises, including Denis Lawson returning as Wedge Antilles in “I Am Your Mother” and screen icon Anjelica Huston as the Sith Mother in “Screecher’s Reach.” See the list below.
