In a short trailer, Studio Ghibli announced its partnership with Lucasfilms on an undisclosed project. The fifteen-second video was posted on the studio's Twitter account.
Star Wars is known for its epic movies, which have earned a combined total of $10 billion in box office revenues alone.
While its live-action movies and shows have generated much of the attention, some of the best storytelling from the franchise has come from its animated shows. Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars: Rebels have been fan-favorites. The franchise currently has a lineup of six different animated shows streaming on Disney+.
Lucasfilms recently created the Star Wars: Visions series, with the media company working with Japanese animation studios to create anime short films. The project allowed animators to re-envision the Star Wars universe generating a different perspective for the franchise. It was a nine-part anthology series that received positive reviews from critics and renewed for a second season. It might have also led to the current partnership between Lucasfilms and Studio Ghibli.
