Something is cooking at what could easily be considered Japan’s most well-known film studio: Ghibli. Those responsible for incredible films like princess Mononoke, my neighbor totoroSpirited Away Y the castle in the sky (their first film, which we can see on these lines), they have announced that they are working with Lucasfilm. The big question is: in what?

In a tweet from their official account on the social network, they have shared a video of just 15 seconds that shows practically nothing, only the Lucasfilm logo followed by the Ghibli logo. That is all. What does it mean? What are they doing? When can we know more? We have a lot of questions and no answers, but we do have some good ideas of what could be behind the message. For its part, Lucasfilm only said that “everything will be revealed very soon.”nt”.

Certainly, the first thing that comes to mind is that Studio Ghibli is working on something related to starwars. I would not risk saying that it is a complete series, not even a movie (although we cross our fingers that this option is on the table), but rather a short film. And it is that in 2021 Lucasfilm published a series of short films on Disney + called Star Wars Visionswith episodes made by different Japanese animation studios, telling original stories based on the universe of starwars which are not necessarily connected to the official canon of the franchise.

Lucasfilm announced that a second batch of episodes and stories from Star Wars Visions It would arrive in 2023, this time including short films from animation studios from many countries, such as the United Kingdom, Spain, Chile, Ireland, France, the United States and, of course, Japan. Will Ghibli be part of these shorts? It may be, or better yet, we’ll be gifted a full animated movie featuring a glimpse into the universe of starwars from the eyes of this legendary Japanese studio. Dreams cost nothing.

We want to give thanks to the author of this short article for this outstanding content
