Composer Kevin Kiner also teased a new animated Star Wars project was in the works back in March but is still unknown if these two projects are one and the same or different.

Star Wars‘ most recent foray into animation Star Wars: Visions saw the dream crossover many fans were hoping for between the galaxy far, far away and anime. The series was a critical success and let the Japanese animation studios have the freedom to do whatever they wanted in their respective episodes.

Throughout the past few years, we’ve seen Lucasfilm start to bring animated characters into live-action, with Ahsoka Tano and Bo-Katan Kryze in The Mandalorian Season 2; and live-action characters into animation, with Fennec Shand appearing in Star Wars: The Bad Batch. It appears that the universe is continuing to expand and animation is here to stay.

As far as established animated projects, The Bad Batch Season 2 is still waiting in limbo. Thanks to composer Kevin Kiner, who worked on The Clone Wars movie in 2008, The Clone Wars series, Star Wars Rebels, and The Bad Batch, has teased a brand new project in the works.

While in an interview with The Convor Call, Kiner teased the new project and its grand approach to musical composition.

“You know, we are working on a new project. It’s an animated project. It’s a Star Wars project. And that’s all we can say. It’s really, really frikkin’ great… To the point where Lucasfilm and Disney are giving us full orchestra for every episode… It’s a very special project, some great, great people are involved, and we’re really privileged to be part of that one. And I probably said too much already.”
