Could We See Some Sequel Episodes In 'Star Wars: Visions' Season 3?

Star Wars

Mar 22

Star Wars: Visions will return later this year with Volume 3, and the new season will be a kind of back-to-the-roots. While the nine episodes of Volume 2 were created by animation studios from Europe, South America, Asia, and Africa, Volume 3 will return to an all-Japan roster of production companies, some new to Star Wars: Visions and some returning after having contributed to Volumes 1 and 2.

Most of the episodes of Visions are structured like short stories, leaving a somehow open end with the potential to be continued, though not all of them would justify a sequel.

Today we take a look at seven episodes that would be worthy of a continuation in Visions - Volume 3 or maybe even beyond.

'Andor' Season 2 Is One Month Away: Five Big Questions For It To Answer

The Duel

The story about a Force User roaming the land with his trusty astromech-like droid (who, for some reason, wore a straw hat) and saving a little village from a band of marauders, led by a Sith woman has been expanded in a novel and two comics that both prequels to this very first episode of Visions. But its finale pushes the door for a sequel wide open:

After the unnamed protagonist who is just referred to as Ronin had killed the Sith, he took the kyber crystal from her lightsaber, later revealing that he already possessed several of these and implying that the female Sith - who was named Koru in the Ronin novel - was not his first kill.

The creators of "The Duel", the animation studio Kamikaze Douga, are returning for Volume 3, so maybe fans will get to see another adventure of Ronin trying to expand his collection of kyber crystals.

The Twins

Trigger Inc. is another company that will provide an episode for Visions - Volume 3 after having made the episode "The Twins" in season one. It's a story about two siblings created by the Dark Side of the Force. Destined to dominate the galaxy from the bridges of two Star Destroyers, linked together by a massive super laser, the boy named Karre decided he didn't want to be part of this evil plan anymore. Trying to escape with a kyber crystal that powers the superlase, he had to fight his sister Arn, who used all her Sith powers to stop Karre. The episode ends with the siblings being separated from one another and Karre pledging to find Arn to bring her to the light. An ending that screams "to be continued".

The Ninth Jedi

The fifth episode of season one is a fan favorite, not only because of its visual style but also because of its story: When war spread across the galaxy, Margrave Juro, ruler of the Outer Rim planet Hy Izlan, summoned a group of Force users to a secret space station, hoping to rebuild the Jedi Order. Each of them is presented with a lightsaber, with the color of the blade being determined by the intentions of the Force Users. When most of the blades turned red, revealing secret Sith spies, a battle arose, with the Lighst Siders being victorious. The remaining group left the space station, eager to bring the Jedi back and to find the father of a girl who had been captured by the Sith.

The story of “The Night Jedi” could easily be continued, showing the group roaming the galaxy on this mission, meeting friends and foes, and hopefully rescuing the missing father. Production IC, the animation studio behind "The Ninth Jedi" is also back for season three, so there is hope for a continuation.

Lop & Ochō

In another episode from Volume 1 Lop, a young, rabbit-like girl got accepted by Boss Yasaburō, a clan leader of the planet Toa, into his family after Ochō, Yasaburō's daughter, befriended her. The two girls grew up together but ended up with vastly different views on the best way to secure the future of their planet. While Ochō believed that the only way to survive was to side with the ruling Empire, Lop was convinced that they had to stand up for their freedom. When Ochō betrayed their father to join the Empire, Yasaburō handed Lop the lightsaber of a Jedi who had visited Tao a long time ago to stop her sister. The two girls engaged in a furious fight that left them both physically and emotionally wounded, keeping the door wide open for meeting each other again in the future.

Geno Studio, the company behind Lop & Ochō, is not returning for Volume 3, so it remains to be seen if another studio will pick up the story or if we get a sequel in a possible Volume 4.

Screecher’s Reach

The episode about four kids entering a dark cave to prove themselves to be not afraid of ghosts starts as a classic boogeyman story until it turns out that the "boogeyman" is an ancient Sith. A girl named Daal, who carried a mysterious necklace that gave her strength and confidence, was able to kill the Sith, but before she could be reunited with her friends, it turns out that it had all been a test by a Sith Master who was looking for a new apprentice. With the girl joining the Sith and leaving her planet behind, there is a chance that we might see her again, either having fully embraced the Dark Side or defeating the Sith Master to return to her friends.

Akakiri

In a story that bears some resemblance to Revenge of the Sith, a Jedi named Tsubaki, tortured by visions of killing a masked figure, traveled to a planet to help his beloved Princess Misa to stop a Sith, who has been hiding within the royal family.

Upon arriving at the palace, Tsubaki and Masago, the king's sister and secret Sith, engaged in a lightsaber battle, with the latter easily overpowering the Jedi. When Tsubaki inadvertent killed the princess, who wore the mask from his vision, he pleaded allegiance to Masago after she had brought back the princess to life with the power of the Dark Side.

The episode ends with Tsubaki and Masago departing the planet to conquer the galaxy, leaving a shocked princess behind, so there is potential for a sequel in which Tsubaki could redeem himself by killing Masago and returning to Misa.

The Spy Dancer

In this episode from season two, an acrobatic cabaret dancer and her crew worked as undercover agents for the rebellion on a planet controlled by the Empire. Years ago, the infant son of the group's leader, Loi'e had been taken from her by an Imperial officer.

During one of her dances, Loi'e believed she spotted the man who took her kid in one of the loges, being so shocked that she nearly fell to her death. It later turns out that the Imperial officer was not the kidnapper, but indeed her son, who had no memory of his mother and saw Loi'e only as an enemy of the Empire. Ording a full assault on the cabaret the dancers barely escaped but as Loi'e had placed a tracking device on a holoprojector she had given to her son, she now had a way to find him again, to convince him of the cruelty of the Empire and make him join her in a possible sequel.
