Source is from season 1, episode 1.

This show might not be the first thing you think of when somebody asks about an anime, but it is made by the same anime studios as all the other series we watch and discuss here (season 1 also has an AniList page)

In case you weren't aware, George Lucas drew huge inspiration from the works of Akira Kurosawa when he created Star Wars (article all about it). So, when they announced a show in which Japanese studios were allowed to create original stories inspired by Star Wars, it felt a bit like closing the loop. This also is why I chose a clip from this episode, because it is the most clearly Kurosawa influenced in both style and story.

Each episode of this series is made by a different studio (with Trigger and Science SARU doing two episodes each) and is a standalone story. This episode was made by Kamikaze Douga. If you are looking for recommendations for other episodes to watch, I would recommend in no particular order:

The Village Bride - Episode 4 - Kinema Citrus
The Twins - Episode 3 - Trigger
The Ninth Jedi - Episode 5 - Production I. G.
The Elder - Episode 7 - Trigger

Yeah, clone wars dabbles with other types of stories and I appreciate that. It is something that the other animated shows haven't done as much of (I haven't watched Bad Batch yet, so can't speak to that one). I especially feel like Resistance had a lot of potential to be something like a Deep Space 9 set in the Star Wars universe, but all that potential was squandered.

Also, I can't tell you how many times I have tried to make the point about Force Awakens/Last Jedi you did. I get the criticism that Force Awakens is very similar to episode 4. However, I think it was intended to show how, by perpetuating the Jedi/Sith dichotomy, these conflicts are inevitable. So, to truly end it, both had to disappear once and for all. I think Johnson's dramatic shift in TLJ is likely what led to the late rewrite/change of director for episode IX. Alas, what could have been...

There has been rumors that season 3 of Visions is in development, so, until we hear more, I will assume it is a whole season devoted to the story/characters of The Ninth Jedi.
