Fans were expecting "Star Wars Visions Volume 3", which will feature nine shorts from Japanese animation studios, but "The Ninth Jedi" getting a spin-off series is a very welcome surprise.

The Star Wars anime universe grows with The Ninth Jedi, a new series from Visions director Kenji Kamiyama. Coming to Disney+ in 2026.

But, it appears that Disney and LucasFilm love the animated anthology series as much as fans do, because one of the best short films from the show, titled "The Ninth Jedi," is being adapted into a new series.
