Visions Season 3 Arrives Amid Star Wars Retcons

Star Wars continues to evolve amid ongoing retcons across the original, prequel and sequel trilogies, including debates over Rey’s origins, and Lucasfilm is poised for a 50th‑anniversary theatrical IMAX release of the original theatrical versions that could undo later edits. The canceled series The Acolyte left mysteries unresolved, and a new art book reveals its antagonist Qimir had been intended as the first Knight of Ren, tying the show into broader Sith lore. Meanwhile, Star Wars: Visions season 3 — a nine‑episode, Japan‑focused, non‑canonical anthology — is now streaming on Disney+ and mixes returning and new studios while including direct sequels to season‑one entries. The season features guest voices including Emma Myers (her Star Wars voice debut), George Takei, Steve Buscemi and Freddie Highmore, and episodes such as the continuation The Ninth Jedi: Child of Hope end on a cliffhanger. Critics generally praise the season’s high‑quality animation and creative freedom but note consistently short runtimes and that returning studios and sequels make the anthology feel less novel even as it broadens scope.
