A three-part animated summary of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, in a fast-paced style, was officially launched by Hideo Itoyanagi in Japan before the debut of Star Wars: The Last Jedi. The characters are designed to look like BB-8. Subsequently, the complete animation was made available as a single video.
On August 7, 2019, The Star Wars Show announced that Itoyanagi would produce a new series of short animations, using the same visual style, for the Star Wars Kids Youtube channel, titled Star Wars Roll Out.
