After its premiere, the creators of Star Wars: Visions talked about what was behind the development of such production, which arrived on December 22 at Disney +.
Star Wars: Visions is now available in Disney +. The series is the new animated product of the franchise and the second created for the platform, after The Bad Batch. However, this presents a totally different format, as it is an anime anthology based on stories that could happen between one film and another in the galactic saga.
To know a little more, its producers, James waugh and Kanako shirakashi they commented on how the idea of coming up with this product was born. This they said:
“Lucasfilm He presented the idea of doing the series. But the story, the ideas come from the studios and directors, screenwriters. So that’s on your side. And we were lucky that all the ideas of the seven studios, the nine shorts, were different and very different. And we were lucky that they presented us with unique stories. “
In addition, they referred to the magic of having a certain creative freedom, which, for them, was the great key to achieving the fine product.
“Nothing was off the table. I think that is the magic of Visions, that we have found a framework that allowed a celebratory look at Star Wars that was to be its history. We didn’t want to tell stories that tried to fill in the gaps in the story, or really tell a deep story about a well-known character who George Lucas created, or JJ Abrahams created, or Jon favreau , or whoever. What we wanted to do was really listen to the perspectives of these creators. And then, there really wasn’t …
What we were looking for were stories with heart, as we always do with Star Wars. I mean, that’s just our development process. They came up with the concepts and had a real point of view. And then we at Lucasfilm are story editors from a Star Wars perspective and help them realize their vision, and do it in a way that sounds like it sounds true to a Star War narrative value. So take Star Wars away from him. What is the human story you are trying to convey? Excellent. Now, we can help you find Star Wars in it.
So, those were really the guidelines. Certainly there were potholes in the road. And not even punches, but moments like, “Wow, is this crazy? Do we make this story? We have never done something like this. ” And then, it was… That’s what Visions is all about. “they stated.
