Watched The Ninth Jedi with Kimiko Glenn(Spider-Man Into The Spider-Verse) as Lah Kara, Andrew Koshino (Star Wars The Clone Wars,Marvel  Rivals) as Juro, Masi Oka( Heroes) as Ethan   ,Patrick Seltz(My Hero Academia) as Homen J.P. Karilak(Justice League ) as Gramps , Gideon Adlon(The Craft: Legacy) as Devon Ishara, Simu Liu(Shang-Chi And The Legend Of The Ten Rings) as Lah Zhima , Keone Young(Star Wars Rebels) as Kwana, Chase Sui Wonders(The Studio) as Lady  Tafflah , Feodor Chin (Overwatch) as Gennoh and Young Mazino(Beef) as Nawamm. **Star Wars: Visions** knocked it out of the park with *"The Ninth Jedi."* It’s a masterclass in non-canon storytelling, fusing the magic of the Original Trilogy with the best parts of *Ahsoka*, *Rogue One*, and *The Last Jedi*. Kara’s quest to find her father gives the story immense heart, while the color-shifting Kyber lore brings back early Star Wars concepts in a thrilling way. Nawann is an absolute powerhouse of a villain—part Vader, part Kylo Ren, part Baylan Skoll—and along with Kara, anchors the series with incredible voice acting. It isn't without minor flaws: the early pacing stumbles slightly, the superweapon trope makes an appearance (even if cleverly used), and Kara's blaster-wielding hunter ally deserved a bit more screen time. Still, the potential here is massive. Between *"The Ninth Jedi,"* *"The Ronin,"* and standout Season 3 shorts like *"The Song On Four Wings,"* *"The Bounty Hunters,"* and *"The Smuggler,"* Lucasfilm needs to green light dedicated mini-series. Doubling down on grounded, non-Jedi stories—a formula that worked wonders for *Rogue One*, *Solo*, *The Mandalorian*, and *Andor*—proved that the Force is alive and well in anime.    Show running by Kenji Kamiyama(Ghost In The Shell Standalone Complex) & Josh Rimes(Star Wars The Bad Batch ), The Force Is Strong With Star Wars debut into Anime 8.5/10
