Star Wars Visions - The Ninth Jedi Spin Off Series Announced
The Ninth Jedi was easily the best episode in the first Visions season. Back then the Japanese studio behind the short said that they hope to be able to continue the story since they have mapped out so much more than the short was showing, enough for a full series even.
In case you forgot: The Ninth Jedi is set in the far future of the Star Wars Galaxy where the Jedi Order is nothing but a distant memory and all but extinct, even if there are still a few Force sensitive people who call themselves Jedi in the galaxy. But they have no lightsabers. The art of making them has been lost a long time ago, but on a remote planet one man still knows how to make lightsabers, the Sith however capture him and eventually his young daughter and a young Jedi boy set out to help rebuild the Jedi order and to rescue the lightsaber swordsmith after defeating a couple of Sith who try to kill them all.
And now at Celebration Japan we not only got the release date for Visions Volume 3, October 27th on Disney+, but we also learned that yet another The Ninth Jedi short, “Child of Hope”, will be part of Visions Volume 3. However, the news do not stop here, because then it was announced that The Ninth Jedi will even get its very own limited spin-off series in 2026 that will continue where the Volume 3 short “Child of Hope” ends.
This is certainly excellent news for all the fans who asked for The Ninth Jedi not to be forgotten about. The very best thing would have been to announce a live action project, but seeing the story continue in animated form is certainly the next best thing.
Is there any other Visions short you’d like to see more of? Especially volume 1 had a few interesting stories. Volume 2 maybe not as much, which I found very uneven or at times even bad. Let’s hope Visions Volume 3 can step up the quality again. Ultimately I feel that Visions should become something of an ideas lab for Star Wars where creators can pitch their “vision” of Star Wars, with the best ones then getting picked up for more.
