Star Wars’upcoming TV show,Star Wars: Visionsseason 3, will finally show something theStar Warssequel trilogy never explored, and it’s more than time for it to be shown inStar Warsmovies and TV shows. AlthoughVisionsis not part ofthe canonStar Warstimeline, it has proven to be a fascinating addition to the franchise.
From introducing some ofStar Wars’coolest lightsabersto exploring brand-new stories, the show has taken advantage of the freedom that comes with not being a canon TV show. Now,Visionswill take that one step further,finally givingStar Warsaudiences a look at one story that really should have been shown in the sequel trilogy.
The Sequels Never Showed Us How The Jedi Come Back From The Brink
The sequel trilogy, unfortunately, continues to be seen as some ofStar Wars’worst movies, for myriad reasons. Chief among those was the treatment of Luke Skywalker’s character, particularly his almost entire absence fromStar Wars: The Force Awakens. Many had hoped Luke Skywalker would be in his prime, leading a new Jedi Order in the sequels.
That was far from the case, asStar Wars: The Last Jediinstead revealed that Luke’s Jedi Temple had been destroyed and, subsequently, Luke elected to go into exile. All of that was disappointing, but one of the biggest letdowns was thatwe never even got to see the steps Luke took to rebuild the Jedi Order.
This was a massive undertaking, and it was in many ways Luke’s destiny, so it was surprising for the sequels to neglect that concept entirely. We have since gotten some insight into the early days of Luke’s Jedi Temple, withThe Book of Boba Fettshowing some of Grogu’s brief training under Luke.
Yet, even with that, there wasn’t much attention paid to Luke’s efforts to completely rebuild the Order. While it remains to be seen whetherStar Warswill ever tell that Luke Skywalker story, we are about to get a version of it withVisionsseason 3.
“The Ninth Jedi” Timeline Is About To Show A True Jedi Order Reborn
Visionsseason 3 will finally showStar Warsaudiences what it looks like to rebuild a Jedi Order. InVisionsseason 1, episode 5, “The Ninth Jedi,” the Jedi are nearly extinct, and the galaxy is teeming with dark side Force users. Among theStar Wars Celebration 2025 revealswas the news that this episode would be getting a follow-up.
One season 3 episode will be titled “The Ninth Jedi: Child of Hope,” and there will then be a sequel series titledStar Wars: Visions Presents - The Ninth Jedireleased in 2026. Both the upcoming episode and the sequel series will see an attempt to restore the Jedi Order (and the efforts of the Sith to prevent its return).
Although this will be a non-canonical story and will still not feature Luke’s Jedi Temple, this will be the closestStar Warshas come to date to depicting the return of a Jedi Order. Hopefully, we will eventually see this Luke Skywalker story, but for now,Star Wars: Visionsseason 3 can finally offer a glimpse of such a story.
