Behind the scenes
A bacta hot spring appeared in "The Duel: Payback", a non-canon short film released as part of the third volume of the Star Wars: Visions series. The animated short, produced by Kamikaze Douga and ANIMA, was released on Disney+ on October 29, 2025. It was first mentioned in a Star Wars: Visions Filmmaker Focus video uploaded to the official Star Wars YouTube channel on October 27 of that year.[2]
The bacta spring was inspired by the onsen hot springs of Japan. The crew of Kamikaze Douga went on location scouts to northern Japan, including Yamagata Prefecture, to find references for the area around the spring.[2]
