In an official press release from Lucasfilm and Studio Ghibli, it came to light that the two entities are collaborating on an all-new animated "Star Wars" short. The hand-drawn project is called "Zen – Grogu and Dust Bunnies" and is directed by Katsuya Kondo with music from Ludwig Göransson — the talented composer behind the scores of "The Mandalorian" and "The Book of Boba Fett." It will premiere exclusively on Disney+ on November 12, 2022, so if you're interested in getting zen with Grogu, now is as good a time as any to make sure your Disney+ subscription is up to date.
Given that it's labeled as a short, it stands to reason that "Zen – Grogu and Dust Bunnies" won't have a very long runtime. Thankfully, if you're interested in more animated "Star Wars" entertainment, Disney+ certainly has you covered. For instance, there's the recently released "Tales of the Jedi," which charts Count Dooku (Corey Burton) and Ahsoka Tano's (Ashley Eckstein) complicated timelines with the Jedi Order. There's also the anthology series "Star Wars: Visions" from 2021 that came together thanks to Lucasfilm's collaboration with several well-known Japanese animation studios.
Those titles are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the animated "Star Wars" offerings on Disney+, but before you check them out either for the first time or once again, why not first give "Zen – Grogu and Dust Bunnies" a try once it premieres?
