A highly anticipated sequel to a 2021 Star Wars project was recently released on Disney+, but it unfortunately did not live up to the hype, as it was clearly not as good as the original story. Star Wars has had a dramatic history when it comes to sequels. On one hand, the franchise is home to arguably the greatest sequel in film history (The Empire Strikes Back), but on the other hand, the sequel trilogy as a whole was widely considered a major miss.When Star Wars: Visions Season 3 was finally released on Disney+ in October 2025, fans were able to see the long-awaited episode titled "The Duel: Payback." Across the three seasons of Visions, the very first episode of Season 1, titled "The Duel," has undoubtedly been the most popular and most well-received by fans. Therefore, it was no surprise when it was announced that the premiere episode for Visions Season 3 would be a direct sequel to "The Duel." Unfortunately, fans have not taken to the sequel as well as they did to the original episode. For instance, on IMDb, "The Duel" has an 8.4-star rating with around 7,400 reviews. "The Duel: Payback," on the other hand, currently sits at a 7.5-star rating with just 648 reviews. Read full article on The Direct.
