Our Review
Star Wars: Visions Presents – The Ninth Jedi (2026) is a action and adventure series from Disney+. It premiered on August 5, 2026. Viewers rate it 6.0 out of 10. It is currently ended. It runs 1 season.
What Star Wars: Visions Presents – The Ninth Jedi Is About
Part of an all-new Star Wars: Visions Presents banner, which will be used to tell longer-form Star Wars: Visions stories, the limited series picks up not long after the events of the Visions shorts: “The Ninth Jedi” and “The Ninth Jedi: Child of Hope”. In the new series, Lah Kara continues to train in the ways of the Jedi under Margrave Juro. Kara goes on an epic journey of self-discovery as she and Juro’s small fellowship of Jedi-in-training embark on a quest to save her father.
What to Expect When You Watch
The format keeps each instalment self-contained enough to drop into, spread across 1 season and it leans into its action/adventure roots while leaving room for the quieter character beats.
Performance-wise the series leans on Chinatsu Akasaki, Hiromu Mineta and Shinichiro Miki to carry the emotional weight, with the rest of the ensemble filling out the world around them.
Cast and Creative Team
Chinatsu Akasaki, Hiromu Mineta, Shinichiro Miki, Hinata Tadokoro, Tetsuo Kanao and Cho lead the cast.
Key roles include Chinatsu Akasaki as Lah Kara; Hiromu Mineta as Ethan; Shinichiro Miki as Lah Zhima; Hinata Tadokoro as Homen; Tetsuo Kanao as Juro.
Why It Stands Out
Fans of action, adventure and anime have a clear reason to give this one a shot. It sits comfortably alongside Disney+’s other originals, a 6.0/10 audience score puts it in steady company and it commits to its premise instead of hedging between tones.
Released in 2026 and carried by Disney+ with the series still ended, it lands hardest with action and adventure viewers.
How Star Wars: Visions Presents – The Ninth Jedi Compares
If Star Wars: Visions Presents – The Ninth Jedi lands for you, the next stops are Avatar: The Last Airbender, Attack on Titan and Star Trek: The Next Generation, which share its action/adventure lean.
Each of those sits at a different point on the same spectrum, so they make a natural follow-up once you finish the run here.
