Star Wars Visions Review: “The Ninth Jedi: Child of Hope”
After the original “The Ninth Jedi” short made a strong impression, the announcement of a full series in 2026 remains exciting. To keep fans engaged until then, Production IG returns with Star Wars: Visions Vol. 3, presenting director Naoyoshi Shiotani’s “The Ninth Jedi: Child of Hope.” This intriguing follow-up expands the world of the short and hints at what the upcoming series might offer.
While I genuinely enjoyed “The Ninth Jedi: Child of Hope,” it feels more like a bridge between the original short and the limited series Star Wars: Visions Presents: The Ninth Jedi. I wish this episode had served as the opening of the new series, as it contrasts with the typical style of Visions.
For context, “The Duel: Payback” was our initial view of how sequel episodes would be handled — self-contained but building on previous stories. A subsequent episode will finalize that arc within Volume 3.

“The Duel: Payback” was our first experience of how a sequel episode would be handled, and it was self-contained again while building off what came before.
Author’s summary: “The Ninth Jedi: Child of Hope” serves as a compelling bridge in Star Wars: Visions Vol. 3, building anticipation for the full series arriving in 2026.
