![]() ![]() One would think that Green may be a bit upset that Detours may never see the light of day, even after all of the work put into it, but he’s not because in the end he got to work with The Maker himself. And the way it’s been explained to me is that there hasn’t been enough interest high enough up to go through what it would take to put it out, and that there isn’t an interest in releasing this content on Disney+ from Lucasfilm.” S eth Green – EW “Well, there are 39 episodes that were finished for broadcast, but we finished them almost 10 years ago, and so there would have to be a bit of reconfiguring of the existing stuff to make it something that Disney+ would release as a Lucasfilm offering. I’m not sure if he’s hinting that some of the content was too over-the-top or what, but it definitely sounds like no one at Disney feels like taking on the process. In a follow up statement, Green makes it sound like it just may be too much work to reposition some of the now 10-year-old content on a Disney platform. “The most recent conversations I’ve had with anybody who would be in a position to say so say that it’s not soon.” Seth Green – EW The sale effectively shelved the project so Disney could focus on its journey with Star Wars, but fans have held out hope that the completed episodes would at least be dumped on Disney Plus at some point, because why not, a bunch of other random old Star Wars content has, so why not Detours.Īccording to Green, it’s just not a series he thinks Disney has any plans for anytime soon. Star Wars Detours, which was created by Seth Green and Matt Senreich, had 39 six minute episodes prepped for airing with another 62 written before Lucasfilm and all the Star Wars was sold to Disney. While the series has been sat around the vaults of Disney for years, Disney+ could give them a way of using these shows, especially as a additional Disney+ Original series and how much money would have been put into developing this series.There have been rumors that we’ve covered about Star Wars Detours possibly hitting Disney Plus to air the finished episodes of the animated series, but based on a new interview with Seth Green – one of the show’s creators – it doesn’t appear that the show will ever see the light of day after all. So really, I do hope we get to share it with audiences at some point. ![]() It was one of the most incredible experiences I’ve ever had, and the team of awesome people that we assembled both on the writing and production side, but also on the voiceover side, it’s insane. Again, we haven’t had any kind of official conversations about it. And so it made a lot of sense, honestly, to delay the release of the show until this push had been completed.īut now that we’re at a place where Episode IX is coming out, and where there is a massive global platform that demands a volume of content, I think it’s reasonable to think that we’d get to see Detours at some point. So because I’d had this experience of people saying that they had shown their kids Robot Chicken or Family Guy episodes before they showed them actual Star Wars, I really understood the idea of distorting your kids’ ability to perceive these icons in the same way that I had. And if you spent these three years watching our comedy - essentially a Simpsons in the Star Wars universe - you would see the dynamic between Darth Vader and the Emperor as more of a Michael Scott and a beleaguered Rupert Murdoch. And that’ll be misinformative for receiving something like Episode VII, or the ongoing future plans for Star Wars, where the specter of Darth Vader is supposed to loom large like the fall of Stalin. And the conversation that we had with Lucasfilm was: If these next three years are spent programming a sort of deconstructive comedy inside the Star Wars universe to young kids, that’s going to be their first brush with Star Wars. We had networks that wanted to put the show on for the next three years leading up to Episode VII (The Force Awakens) coming out. And then we stopped down our production when the company got sold to Disney, and they announced that they were going to focus on expanding the perpetual existence of Star Wars as a global IP. George wanted to make this show, and his thoughts seem to be that he would manufacture it under his own conditions and then license it to another platform. When we were making the show originally, there wasn’t a plan for distribution. There hasn’t been any official talk, but that has seemed to be a really organic path for it.
