Lucasfilm explored some new venues with this year’s release of Star Wars: Visions. They worked with various famous Anime studios that each got the chance to create stories that are inspired by the famous franchise. It offered quite a diverse selection of stories, such as a rock opera featuring familiar characters from the original trilogy. Well, it seems that one of the many shorts is now qualified to get an Oscar nomination for 2022.
