Good day to you film fans. How are you? I hope this finds you well. Happy Easter. You find me on

0:06.4

Easter morning, getting myself ready to head back to London to Star Wars celebrations. I was there on

0:12.8

Friday hosting an Andor panel, which is quite relevant for today's episode. And today I'm heading

0:19.6

back there to host a panel on Visions,

0:23.2

which some of you might not be familiar with. Star Wars Visions is a collection of short

animation films that have been made by animation houses all over the world. The first season is

already up on Disney Plus and the second season is what I'm

0:38.9

talking about today. And they've genuinely got the most incredible artists involved in this.

0:45.5

And they're giving free reign to kind of pick out an element of the Star Wars Galaxy and write

1:20.7

So if you aren't familiar with visions yet, it's all up on Disney Plus and I'd highly recommend

1:25.9

it, not just for the great storytelling,

1:28.3

but also just the variety of animation and how different countries veer and steer towards

1:34.3
