Fortunately, we now know with the release of Star Wars: Visions, a nine-episode anime series featuring independent stories written for the Star Wars universe and for fans looking for something different. The first season is now available on Disney+, which recently dropped all the episodes.

» While Thais love supernatural stories, oddly it seems that in the past few years, many Thai directors are running out of original ideas for a spooky plot, relying instead on too many jump scares, while repeating the same worn-out storylines.
