Pokdepinion: Holy smokes I can’t wait for Star Wars Visions! I love anthology series like these and I also love Star Wars so this is just absolute ecstasy for me. Besides, Star Wars was inspired by a Japanese movie in Akira Kurosawa’s The Hidden Fortress (highly recommended!) so in a way, I guess this is kind of like a homecoming for the franchise?
