The show's executive producer, James Waugh, revealed that the upcoming volume of Star Wars: Visions will bring back three popular storylines from the first season. The first episode will expand on the story from season 1's premiere episode and bring back the fan-favorite character of the former Sith Lord, Ronin.
The stories from episodes 4 and 5 of season 1 - The Village Bride and The Ninth Jedi, respectively - will also be revisited in volume 3.
Furthermore, Masaki Tachibana of the anime studio Kinema Citrus shared at the convention that his episode, Yuko’s Treasure, will feature a "large, bear-like droid with a microwave built into his belly" accompanying the female protagonist.
Furthermore, The Song of Four Wings will showcase a "darker and more mechanical world" that is inspired by the four blades of an X-Wing, as per Hiroyasu Kobayashi of Project Studio Q.
Star Wars: Visions will highlight the creativity of Japanese anime
Star Wars: Visions season 3 will exclusively feature the work of Japanese anime for its third volume, much like the show's first volume. James Waugh added at the fan convention that his team wished to give "Japanese culture a spotlight" in the show's next chapter.
"I think we’ve always deeply admired the craftsmen that bring such great storytelling through animation. And so,... we ended up coming up with a concept really focused on anime and really focused on celebrating Star Wars through the anime perspective through the idea of really giving Japanese culture a spotlight within Star Wars and its influence on Star Wars in general," he shared.
Moreover, the second volume of Star Wars: Visions included the contributions of international studios from France, Spain, Japan, Ireland, Chile, South Africa, India, South Korea, the United States, and the United Kingdom.
