"Over the course of the first two volumes, we've seen alien rock bands, samurai Jedi, and plenty of adorable creatures, but the show's biggest strength is how it pushes action scenes to their limits. With the shorts being non-canon, literally anything is on the table, while the medium of animation means the laws of physics can be broken at will."
"It's a fascinating and terrifying weapon that probably won't make it to canon, especially since we don't see many Sith in the current Star Wars era. But within Visions, these innovations prove that Star Wars is bigger than its canon - it's a blank slate for all kinds of creators who probably used to doodle such wild lightsabers on their schoolbooks. Maybe, if fan reaction is as strong as it was for the saber-parasol, something this cool might just sneak into the modern canon after all."
Star Wars: Visions Volume 3 revisits several Season 1 storylines and includes a sequel to the acclaimed short "The Duel." The anthology embraces non-canon freedom, allowing creators to invent surreal weaponry such as parasol-sabers and multi-blade gauntlets that defy canonical resource limits like rare Kyber crystals. Animation enables exaggerated action and physics-defying sequences that push combat choreography and visual spectacle far beyond live-action constraints. These innovations demonstrate Star Wars' capacity as a creative blank slate and can generate strong fan reactions that sometimes influence official canon. Volume 3 premieres October 29 on Disney+.
