I know many fans disagree with Lucasfilm Star Wars: Visions series, but I like it! I think people are missing the point, which is that each segment can have a different animation style and the story being told doesn’t have to stick to Star Wars canon. They give the animation studios and filmmakers involved the freedom to tell any kind of story they want to tell in the Star Wars universe and not be confined to canon. They can just have fun with it, and I think it’s fun!

Empire says he “thinks of it as a remix compilation, with wildly creative spins on familiar material from fascinatingly diverse voices.”
Anyway, a trailer for Star Wars: Visions Volume 2 was recently released and consists of nine episodes titled “Sith”, “Screecher’s Reach”, “In the Stars”, “I Am Your Mother”, “Journey to the Dark Head”, “The Spy Dancer”, ” The Bandits of Golak”, “The Pit” and “Aau’s Song”.
Animation studio, Aardman, which is behind the Wallace and Gromit projects, developed the “I Am Your Mother” segment, and Empire reports that it will include original Star Wars trilogy character Wedge Antilles.
Their short film is set in the aftermath of the original trilogy, “and tells the story of aspiring Twi’lek tween pilot Anni and her awkward mom Kalina as they become involved in a parent-child spaceship race. Bringing stiff competition is cheeky fellow pilot Julan Van Reeple, seen in her flying digs in the exclusive image above. And oversee the whole thing? None other than rebel pilot hero Wedge Antilles.
Denis Lawson is returning to lend his voice to the role and the director of the short, Magdalena Osinska, said: “We were looking for some sort of idol that Anni would look up to. We opted for Wedge Antilles, as it fit the bill in terms of Star Wars era. Plus, she’s done some pretty amazing things Star Warsbut perhaps he was not so recognized [for it].”
Osinska laughs and continues: “I think he has more lines in our film than in the original Star Wars trilogy! We really wanted to give him the limelight he deserved.
While this isn’t canon, it will still be fun to see Wedge at the center of a new Star Wars story!
