Over the last few years, more and more companies and artists are choosing to collaborate with anime studios or companies for anime-style products, shows, and movies. Now, Disney and Lucasfilm have decided to collaborate with seven different Japanese anime studios for their new Star Wars: Visions anthology series of short films.

Announced on the official Twitter account for Star Wars, Star Wars: Visions was announced on July 3rd via a video explaining a little bit about the project, which studios are part of it, and how it came to be.

James Waugh, executive producer for Lucasfilm, said that “Japanese animation inspired a lot of the people at Lucasfilm over the years. We loved the idea of seeing Star Wars expressed in that way.”

Visions will be a series of original short films by seven anime studios and its creators. It will include original characters and artwork in Japanese-style Star Wars settings. The anime artists were given the freedom to create what they wanted and were excited at the opportunity. The stories are completely original, stand-alone films.
