Could this be for Visions Season 2? Or maybe something new? There's no press release yet.

No matter what this is, just having those two names involved means it has the potential to be amazing.

Okay, that was a cute and harmless 3 minutes. It's called Zen -- Grogu and Dust Bunnies, but the "Dust Bunnies" are actually (or at least are dead ringers for) the Susuwatari/Soot Sprites from My Neighbor Totoro and Spirited Away.

Bizarrely enough, Wookieepedia counts this short as canonical.

 

[Mr. Adventure]

What an odd little thing. I guess it wouldn't have been that out of place within Visions or something like that but as a standalone piece... Was expecting Grogu to maybe eat the flower (or a Dust Bunny ).

I have a GOOD feeling about this…

Or... a literally nothing-burger 4 minutes that has nothing to do with anything.

 

[Tuskin38]

Nothing says this is their only project they're going to do.

 

[fireproof78]

Even if so a standalone is good.

I don’t know why—-but a little voice in the back of my head tells me this is the one and only format where the Whills are introduced…

Whill-o'-the-Wisps, maybe?

(Hasn't it been speculated that Yoda's species might be the Whills?)

As a species? Because Chrirut Imwe and Baze Malbus are called Guardians of the Whills in Rogue One, if I recall correctly.

I hear the Whills are great cheesemakers. Where there's a Whill, there's a whey.

As an uncle who rates his puns by how bad he can make the kids groan, that's pretty good.

The short was adorable.
