* CreatorsOddball: In similar style to the English dubs of Creator/StudioGhibli films, most of the English dub cast has never voiced for anime before with the exceptions of veteran anime voice actors like Creator/KyleMcCarley, Creator/MichaelSinterniklaas, Creator/PatrickSeitz, and Creator/StephanieSheh (among a few others)[[note]]Creator/JosephGordonLevitt had voiced main character Jiro Horikoshi in Ghibli's ''Anime/TheWindRises'', which was also a Creator's Oddball for him; Creator/ChristopherSean has voiced for ''VideoGame/EpicSeven'', a Korean {{animesque}} mobile game that ''has'' collaborated with Japanese anime such as ''Literature/ReZero'', also an oddball.[[/note]]. Like with Ghibli, the ''Visions'' English dub largely uses AllStarCast to appeal to casual viewers and families who don't watch anime.

** One discarded idea for ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'' was that lightsabers would change color depending on the wielder, with Luke's lightsaber turning red when Vader turns it on after Luke turns himself in (this was retained in the 1983 comic adaptation, which was an EarlyDraftTieIn). This idea was brought back for ''The Ninth Jedi''. [[spoiler:It even becomes a major plot point, as the false Jedi are revealed to be evil when all of their lightsabers ignite red.]]

* RelationshipVoiceActor: Sisters Haru and Saku are voiced by Creator/MegumiHan and Creator/MariyaIse respectively, otherwise known as the voices of Gon and Killua in the ''Manga/HunterXHunter'' 2011 anime adaptation.
** Another from the same short, Haru and F's voice actresses, Creator/MegumiHan and Creator/AsamiSeto, respectively, were also Glass and Raphtalia from ''Literature/TheRisingOfTheShieldHero'', which was also made by Creator/KinemaCitrus.

* AnimationLeadTime: Izumo Jyuki, a concept artist for "Lop and Ocho", [[https://twitter.com/izmojuki/status/1444345143520161793?s=20 came up]] with the design of the Imperial sentry droids, which he had slightly altered to look closer to how the Dark Troopers, their inspirations looked in ''VideoGame/DarkForcesSaga'' games. This art was completed in November 2020, shortly before the release of ''Series/TheMandalorian'' Season 2, where it would just so happen to reintroduce Dark Troopers.
