Lucasfilm usually imposes restrictions on what you can tell, for example things set after the most recent movies are usually off limits

First Look at Star Wars: Visions - Anime Short Films coming to Disney+ later this year
- Thread starter RedHeat
- Start date
True, but we still have the 30 year gap between the OT and ST which is a pretty sizable time frame to do whatever you want in. Not to mention these will likely be small scale stories not involving any main characters
They haven't outright said if these are canon or not but this paragraph speaks volumes, I think

With a project like this, canon is kinda the last thing I care about. Go all out and make whatever the hell you want. And at worst it's probably effectively "Legends", where you can kinda treat it however you want.They haven't outright said if these are canon or not but this paragraph speaks volumes, I think

It would be nice if this led to full-length canon content though.
I hope a season 2 can continue the story of some of these new characters
A first formal venture. Sure sounds like more seasons are coming.

Honestly could not care less if they are "canon" or not. I think the Transformers franchise has beaten that out of me over the years. Frankly, it's probably best that they aren't, as that would probably greatly restrict the stories they could tell.
Who knows. Maybe they'll end up being like the Myths and Fables books, which tell larger-than-life stories that are in-universe legends, where bits and pieces maybe true, just greatly exaggerated.
"Studio Trigger"
Shit, that's all you had to say.
I'd like this a lot.

Now this is what I like to see
Yeah forget canon, it's way too much an anchor these days(looks at games)
Oh man I'm all over this right now. All of the previews look amazing, and I'm def looking forward to the ones by Trigger. My friends are all flipping out over the one that's just Lio Fotia but in Star Wars lmao
Yup, don't get me wrong, I don't mind either. It'll probably end up in that same quasi-canon space as the LEGO series/specials and the FACPOV books, regardless.
Some of the episodes sound pretty interesting.

This is my biggest question mark! I think the fact that they're putting them all out in one day probably means they'll be on the shorter end

GOOD. People always feel the need to point out how the old Clone Wars animation "isn't canon" as if it fucking matters. Especially after that last major film....
imagine if this was canon.
fuck canon IM JOUSTIN ON A X-WING
Holdo maneuver naysayers would be shitting their pants.

Imagine ever giving a fuck about canon lol. This is gonna be great because it doesn't care about fitting into anything.
That's my other hyped one other than the trigger shorts. Can't wait to see what'll come from it.
This really shows that anime really blew up in the west. Back in the 90s, I couldn't have seen Disney of all entities, known so well for their own animation work, going out of their way to outsource the animations to other companies and make anime projects using the Star Wars IP.
Also wonder in a way if this is designed to be a bunch of pilots for potential full shows? Say one of these shorts gets really good reception and that studio gets booked to do a full series? Hmm.

Disney aren't doing this though; Lucasfilm are. Lucasfilm had released Star Wars manga as early as the 90s so this isn't too surprising.
I am pumped for these, I am pumped for a second season of these, I am hopeful some are so popular they get to be their own series or movie, and I'm excited to see the coolest shit wind up getting borrowed into canon in fun ways.
WILL WE GET TOYS!?!?!?
Incidentally, I kind of desperately want some one off Star Wars films that are just space adaptations of classic Japanese movies, the same way Kurosawa adapted a lot of Shakespeare into different eras of Japan. Gimme Jedi Harakiri, gimme bounty hunter Yojimbo, gimme Ran/Kagemusha with space ships, do freaking Hausu somehow. Do Kwaidan but with myths of the force.
Twenty Four Eyes but the time skips show how civilians lived during the last years of the republic and the final years of the empire.
