Star Wars: Visions is a collection of nine animated shorts created by Japanese animators and studios. The shorts were made by Trigger, Kinema Citrus, Kamikaze Douga, Science SARU, Production I.G, and Geno Studio. In September 2021, the anthology premiered on Disney+.

The Mandalorian is the first live-action television series set in the Star Wars universe, and it premiered in 2019. Set after the events of Return of the Jedi, the show follows the exploits of a renowned bounty hunter who tries to keep the Mandalorian warrior culture alive while surviving in the chaotic, lawless era that follows the Empire’s defeat. After he discovers Grogu, a young Force-sensitive boy who is being hunted by the remnant Imperial soldiers and other bounty hunters across the galaxy, the bounty hunter’s solitary existence changes. The first series was well-received, and it will be renewed for a third season in late 2022.
