Star Wars: Vision Presents – The Ninth Jedi Revealed

Lucasfilm and Production I.G. have announced that Star Wars: Visions Presents – The Ninth Jedi, an eight-episode limited anime series, will premiere exclusively on Disney+ and Hulu on August 5, 2026. To celebrate, two versions of the trailer and key art were revealed.

Supervising director Kenji Kamiyama, director Shunsuke Tada, and producer Hitoshi Ito debuted the trailer and teaser poster at a special Star Wars: Visions Presents – The Ninth Jedi panel at the Los Angeles Convention Center as part of Anime Expo 2026.

Part of an all-new Star Wars: Visions Presents banner, which will be used to tell longer-form Star Wars: Visions stories, the limited series picks up not long after the events of the Visions shorts: The Ninth Jedi and The Ninth Jedi: Child of Hope.

In the new series, Lah Kara continues to train in the ways of the Jedi under Margrave Juro. Kara goes on an epic journey of self-discovery as she and Juro’s small fellowship of Jedi-in-training embark on a quest to save her father.

Star Wars: Visions Presents – The Ninth Jedi is directed by Shunsuke Tada and written by Mitsuyasu Sakai. Kenji Kamiyama serves as supervising director. The executive producers are James Waugh, Jacqui Lopez, Josh Rimes, Justin Leach, and Mitsuhisa Ishikawa; the producers are Hitoshi Ito and Kanako Shirasaki; and the co-producer is Caroline Keller.

The English dub voice talent includes returning voice cast Kimiko Glenn (Lah Kara), Andrew Kishino (Juro), Masi Oka (Ethan), Patrick Seitz (Homen), JP Karliak (Gramps), and Simu Liu (Lah Zhima). Neil Kaplan returns to voice The Narrator.
