Star Wars: Visions is Coming Back!
We got a new trailer late last week for a new season of Star Wars: Visions, which is pretty darn awesome. This is the anthology show where they let a bunch of international animation studios, especially those that work on anime, do some out-of-continuity Star Wars adventures. So lightsabers and spaceships and the Empire and all that good stuff, but in short little cartoons. They’ve been a blast so far!
I couldn’t tell from the trailer, but I’ve heard that some of my favorite bits from season one are going to get sequels in this new season. That’s pretty cool! And then we’ll have more original cartoons. It’s all very fun and exciting.
Season three of Star Wars: Visions comes to Disney+ on Oct. 29.

Outta Nowhere, It’s the First Trailer for The Mandalorian and Grogu!
Here we go, baby! It’s the first trailer for The Mandalorian and Grogu, the movie spin-off from The Mandalorian TV show. The name is still a mouthful, but whatever, I am here for it! I am someone who enjoyed the third season of The Mandalorian and still enjoys most Star Wars content.
And this trailer looks neat! It looks like a big, dumb Star Wars fan service-filled vanity project, but…I don’t care. If Disney and Star Wars wanna keep throwing money at big projects like this, I’ll keep watching. Does Disney suck for cancelling Jimmy Kimmel? Absolutely! But I’m gonna watch what I wanna watch, and that includes this big, dumb movie!
The Mandalorian and Grogu comes to theaters on May 22.

More Animated Star Wars!
Remember Tales of the Jedi and Tales of the Empire? Those animated shorts from the past few years, that highlighted a couple of special characters? I barely do! But they were alright. Definitely watchable. Well we’re getting more! Tales of the Underworld! Featuring a pair of really cool bounty hunter characters.
I can take or leave Cade Bane. Never been all that interested in him, for whatever reason. He’s fine. I’m far more interested in Asajj Ventress! I’ve always liked her. And I just recently finished Bad Batch, and this version of her appeared for a single episode. I’m all for having her exist as a badass ronin with a yellow lightsaber. I’m perfectly happy with that being her place in the Star Wars Universe!
We don’t have long to wait for this one. Tales of the Underworld comes out on May 4, Star Wars Day.

Andor and Doctor Who: A Day for Season 2 Trailers
Yesterday was a day for season 2 trailers, because we got two of them for highly anticipated shows. What a joyful cornucopia of content! I’m excited for both of these shows, and both trailers are solid.
First up is Andor, which has another full trailer. It doesn’t live up to the fun and energy of the first trailer we got a month ago. But another look at Andor is good by me.
Looks good! And looks the same as we’ve seen. Looks like all of the characters come back, and tensions rise, and the Rebellion takes shape. Should be a nice season of political intrigue in the Star Wars universe, which is what we all want to see.
Andor season 2 comes to Disney+ on April 22.
Next up is another trailer for the new season of Doctor Who! We had a first trailer earlier this month, and I think this one is even stronger.
This looks great! Look at the effects. Look at the action. And we get a stronger sense of the overall story. I really dig how this looks and can’t wait to watch! Ncuti Gatwa is a great Doctor, and I hope he has all sorts of upcoming adventures.
Doctor Who season 2 comes to Disney+ on April 12.

We Got An Andor Season 2 Trailer, Baby!
The second season of Andor is apparently right around the corner! We knew it was coming. The hype is real. Season 1 was a friggin’ masterpiece, and season 2 will have a lot to do. So how about we settle in and enjoy this new trailer?
Looks great! Love the song choice. Love the look of everybody. Love the snippets of dialogue. This one is gonna be good, people. We’re gonna be feasting on good TV this year. Daredevil: Born Again starts next week. We’ve got the second season of The Last of Us coming out soon, too. And now Andor at the end of April. Hot damn!
Andor season 2 comes to Disney+ on April 22.
