Happy as hell with Visions. I'm a watcher of Rebels, Bad Batch, and The Clone Wars and this is going to open up so many things for them going forward. All original stories when people are frustrated oh well it's the same stuff with Star Wars these days that won't be an issue now. I hope every one of these stories are Home Runs.

Love this News. Every Episode in Season 1 I thought hit the mark with me.
