Some of the major studios involved in the anthology series, whose art will be featured in the upcoming artbook, include Kamikaze Douga, Studio Colorido, Geno Studio, Trigger, Kinema Citrus, Production I.G, and Science SARU.
Dark Horse Comics Senior Editor Ian Tuckr had this to say about the upcoming release:
“As a lifelong Star Wars fan, it’s uniquely exciting to witness the passionate reimagining of a familiar galaxy far, far away through the lens of Star Wars: Visions. Every episode is packed with joyous surprises: an astromech droid cleverly topped with a roningasa, an ancient Sith warlock with a face like an evil hannya theater mask, or an adorably chibi Boba Fett. These worlds that we know so well have been brilliantly rendered in fascination new wyas, and other fans of Star Wars will undoubtedly savor the talent and zeal poured into each adventure as much as I have. We’re thrilled to have partnered with Lucasfilm and writer Zack Davisson in the creation of The Art of Star Wars: Visions, and we can’t wait to share this gorgeous collection of concept art and creator insights!”
The Art Of Star Wars: Visions is set to release on April 12th 2022 and will retail for $49.99 when it hits shelves next year.
While Star Wars: Visions was a success among subscribers to Disney+, the anthology series has yet to be confirmed for a season two, though there are plenty of anime studios that would surely love to create new lore in the ever-expanding story of the Jedi and the Sith.
