A clip from the animated series Star Wars Visions (Season 2, Episode 7), which aired in 2023, is currently circulating on social media. The post highlights striking similarities between a scene from that episode and a clip from a 2019 fan film called Dark Jedi. The creator of the fan film pointed out these similarities on social media, questioning why Disney might have taken inspiration from their non-profit tribute without offering compensation or employment to the original animators and action designers. Many are criticizing Disney for potentially taking creative work from independent creators, especially given the company’s resources and influence. It’s generally seen as a negative look for any company to borrow from others, but particularly damaging when done by a large, wealthy corporation.
