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

I will assume it is a whole season devoted to the story/characters of The Ninth Jedi.
