The names of all nine episodes and their corresponding studios were also revealed:

"As a first formal venture into anime, each 'Star Wars: Visions' short bears a unique Japanese sensibility, which in many ways aligns with the tone and spirit of Star Wars storytelling," Variety reported from the Disney Plus' statement in a press release on Saturday.
The statement continued, "From the beginning, stories told in the Star Wars galaxy have counted Japanese mythology and the films of Akira Kurosawa among their many influences, and these new visions will further explore that cultural heritage through the unique animation style and perspective of each anime studio."
Along with the names of each studio and episode, Disney Plus also gave fans a special look into the creation of 'Star Wars: Visions' with a three-minute teaser video available to watch on YouTube.
