Star Wars Closer to Winning Major Emmy for Anime

If you’re a Star Wars fan, you’ll be excited to learn that the series is making waves in the anime world with its cool anthology streaming on Disney+. Star Wars: Visions is a unique collaboration between Disney and Lucasfilm, working with top anime studios to offer fresh perspectives on the franchise. The third volume of this anthology has earned a significant Emmy nomination in the Outstanding Animated Program category.

One standout from the series is the short film “Black,” which features an unconventional take on a Stormtrooper’s journey between life and death. This visually stunning piece has caught the attention of Emmy voters, putting Star Wars: Visions in the running against iconic animated shows like The Simpsons and Bob’s Burgers.

This nomination marks a milestone for Star Wars, as it’s the first time the franchise has been recognized in this category since the 2D Clone Wars series over two decades ago. While facing tough competition, including Rick and Morty and South Park, Star Wars: Visions has a shot at taking home the Emmy this year.

Beyond the awards buzz, the success of Star Wars: Visions demonstrates the strong partnership between Star Wars and anime. Fans can look forward to more captivating stories with the upcoming expansion of one of the anthology’s most acclaimed shorts. “The Ninth Jedi” will continue its narrative in a new anime series debuting on Disney+ on August 5th.

Excitingly, this expansion will offer viewers a bilingual experience, featuring Japanese and English language options. With a talented production team and fresh storytelling, Star Wars: Visions Presents – The Ninth Jedi promises to deliver more of the quality entertainment that fans have come to love from the series.
