The Ninth Jedi returns as a complete series
The official Star Wars series page follows Kara and a group of Jedi searching for allies against a growing warlord. The story expands the world introduced in director Kenji Kamiyama's short from the first volume of Star Wars: Visions.
Production I.G handled the original short and the new series. The nine-part creator countdown gives the studio room to show a different interpretation each day, starting with one of the animators responsible for putting the characters in motion.
