Japan-based, American-run animation studio D'Art Shtajio, in collaboration with Lucasfilm, is the only studio from Japan that is making a new short, titled "The Pit." LeAndre Thomas is serving as director, writer, and executive producer of "The Pit." Justin Ridge is co-directing.

The first volume of Star Wars: Visions debuted on Disney+ in September 2021. Studios such as Trigger, Kinema Citrus, Kamikaze Douga, Science Saru, Production I.G, and Geno Studio produced the shorts.

"Zen - Grogu and Dust Bunnies," a hand-drawn animated short by Studio Ghibli for the Star Wars franchise, started streaming on Disney+ on November 12.
