Check out the new trailer for the anime anthology series ‘Star Wars: Visions’

Lucasfilm has debuted the first trailer for its animated anthology series Star Wars: Visions, and also has revealed the star-studded voice cast for the series.

The anthology will feature voices dubbed both in English and Japanese, and both versions will be available on Disney+ starting on September 22.

The cast for the English-language episodes feature the voice talents of stars including Lucy LiuStar Trek‘s George Takei, and Stranger Things‘ and Black Widow‘s David Harbour, as well as Neil Patrick HarrisAlison Brie and Temuera Morrison, the latter reprising his role as Boba Fett, which he played in two Star Wars movies and The Mandalorian.
