The centerpiece of the annual celebration will be the second season of Star Wars Visions, with the entire second season arriving at once on Disney Plus. This brings together top animation studios from around the world and lets them go nuts in a galaxy far, far away with non-canon stories pushing the boundaries of what Star Wars can be. Bubbling away under that is the continued enjoyment of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. Though…
