Following the debut of the Star Wars: Visions trailer and cast list on August 17th (Missed it? Click HERE) we now have our first look at the villains from the upcoming anthology show, which premieres on Disney+ on September 22nd.
Star Wars autograph collectors will especially enjoy seeing some of the first images of the villains from the show in Kristin Baver’s piece for Starwars.com “INSIDE STAR WARS: VISIONS: MEET THE VILLAINS” which you can read in it’s entirety HERE.

“The titular character in “The Elder” from Trigger studio is a mysterious warrior with ancient and sinister origins. “He is a master swordsman seeking worthy adversaries,” says (co-executive producer Justin) Leach. “Even though his appearance is that of an aged old man, he moves gracefully and effortlessly against any opponent.” But in the short by the same name, the Elder comes up against a foe few have successfully defeated — time itself — and must face his own mortality.”

“We previously met Karre from Trigger’s “The Twins,” which follows the story of two dark side siblings. Now, meet his sister, Am. “Am is consumed by her desire for power, and blind to the danger she faces,” Leach says, in sharp contrast to her brother who made his own choice to walk away from his upbringing.”

“Destiny is immutable, or at least that’s what some dark-side users would have us believe. And Masago, who we meet in Science Saru’s “Akakiri,” is certainly among them.
Her strength is echoed in every element of her bold character design, from designer Naoyuki Asano. “With a great deal of strength and weight in the design, her broad shoulders and physical presence are palpable. Her red eyes, imbued with the dark side of the Force, create the impression of a soul full of darkness, ambition, and hunger for power.”

“An homage to the Japanese tradition of female samurai warriors of feudal Japan called “Onna-Musha,” the Sith Bandit Leader from “The Duel” is “a cool and cunning assassin reminiscent of the famous female warrior from Japanese cinema in the ‘70s, Lady Snowblood,” Leach says.”
Japanese: TBD
English Dub: TBD
(The character of “The Inquisitor” in “TO-B1” does not have a voice credit listed in the Starwars.com piece “STUNNING NEW STAR WARS: VISIONS TRAILER DEBUTS.” The two credits listed are for “T0-B1” and “Mitaka.”)
“A simple droid pretending to be a Jedi instead invites the wrath of an Inquisitor roaming the galaxy to hunt down all Jedi who remain after Order 66, in Science Saru’s “T0-B1.”
Like other Inquisitors that have come before, this new hunter is a powerful, menacing representation of the dark side of the Force, seeking to eliminate and snuff out all that remains of the light.”
Experience the entire anthology when it debuts exclusively on Disney+ on September 22, 2021.
