First Trailer for 'Star Wars: Visions Presents - The Ninth Jedi' Series
The eight-episode anime series expands Star Wars: Visions with a self-contained story and no direct ties to the franchise’s main timeline.
- On Thursday, July 2, 2026, Lucasfilm released the full trailer for The Ninth Jedi, an eight-episode limited anime series premiering exclusively on Disney+ and Hulu on August 5, 2026.
- Based on shorts from the animated anthology series Visions, The Ninth Jedi explores a new galaxy where all locations and characters remain unique to this world, avoiding specific references to established Star Wars canon.
- Young Lah Kara joins the fledgling Jedi led by Master Margrave Juro while seeking her father, the sabersmith Lah Zhima; lightsabers uniquely change color based on the wielder's soul rather than permanently bleeding.
- Currently billed as a "limited series," The Ninth Jedi suggests there will not be a second season, distinguishing it from legacy-dependent productions like The Force Awakens and The Acolyte.
- Rejecting reliance on past nostalgia, The Ninth Jedi is not a "glup shitto" Star Wars production, creating a fresh narrative independent of established timelines and legacy characters.
