Review | STAR WARS: Visions Presents The Ninth Jedi (Spoiler-Free)

Episode Summary

This is our spoiler-free review of Star Wars: Visions Presents — The Ninth Jedi. Continuing the story established in the Visions shorts “The Ninth Jedi” and “The Ninth Jedi: Child of Hope,” the series follows Lah Kara as she trains under Margrave Juro and joins a new fellowship of Jedi-in-training on a quest to save her father. Join Nate, Darcy, and Justin as they discuss Production I.G’s stunning animation, physical lightsaber combat, immersive sound design, and standout voice performances. We explore how the series blends anime storytelling with the wider Star Wars mythos, where its pacing falters, and why its final three episodes ultimately stick the landing. Does Kara’s journey deserve a second season?
