My story is about that,” said Kamiyama. said that his episode “The Ninth Jedi” will also be set after Episode IX. “I saw it as a chance to do work that we wouldn’t usually be able to do: Something with a more realistic style.” The Ninth Jedi: What Became of the Jedi After The Rise of Skywalker?ĭirector Kenji Kamiyama of Production I.G. “I had always wanted to work on a Star Wars project, and when they said our studio could make two short films for this series, I looked at what Imaishi was doing with his story, and I decided I would do something totally different – to cover two separate extremes,” said Otsuka. Otsuka, who had been about to retire but stuck around to work on this project, chose to take the opposite tack for “The Elder,” in which a master and padawan encounter an unknown foe. “We finalized all of the visual side before adding a bespoke score – I imagine the soundtracks to the Star Wars movies were composed in this way, and so this helped us to evoke a classic Star Wars feeling that pays respect to the work of John Williams.” “I asked Michiru Oshima to compose the score, and working with an orchestra was a first for me,” Imaishi said. ![]() In terms of music, he said he is working with an orchestra for the first time. ![]() Imaishi said working with many of the same team as his last animated feature, Promare – including character designer Shigeto Koyama and lead animator Sushio – has allowed him to continue the look and feel of their previous work, but with an added Star Wars vibe. The two animations from Trigger will each take very different tacks. “The remnants of the Imperial Army have raised a pair of twins on the Dark Side of the Force, and the story goes from there.” Imaishi referenced the twins searching for “a new hope”, suggesting some thematic references to that other story about a couple of Force-sensitive twins. “‘The Twins’ is set after Episode IX, after the Empire has been vanquished by the Resistance,” said Imaishi. “So our story is not directly connected to any of the characters from the films, but it explores the idea of the Jedi Knights and the master and padawan dynamic in an older setting.” “For some viewers, this series might be their first Star Wars experience, so I wanted to make something that you can enjoy without any knowledge of the rest of the story,” said Otsuka. Masahiko Otsuka and Hiroyuki Imaishi, the two founders of Studio Trigger – the anime studio behind Kill La Kill, Little Witch Academy and Promare – explained that their two Visions entries will bookend the Skywalker Saga, with Otsuka’s “The Elder” set sometime before Episode I and Imaishi’s “The Twins” set after the events of Episode IX.
