Interview with exec producer James Waugh and producer Kanako Shirasaki:
"We didn't want to be a studio that was going to say, "We're here for your aesthetic." We wanted a specific voice because they showcase kind of breadth of what type of storytelling is being done in anime."

@Waughtang “I think like so many of these stories and characters you want to see them go on. I kind of want to follow that band around forever from ‘Tatooine Rhapsody’ But is there anything planned right now, as far as an animated series or film? The answer is no.”
@Waughtang "But hopefully [on] Wednesday people love it and are begging for more Star Wars: Visions. Then I will have those conversations.”
Do it.
Do it.
@Waughtang "Ahead of Star Wars: Vision’s premiere, Your Money Geek got to chat with the series’ executive producer James Waugh and producer Kanako Shirasaki about the production."
