This information should probably be taken with a great of salt until there is an official announcement from Lucasfilm. If this is true, then I think the fanbase is better off for it.Ī new rumor first published by The Vulcan Reporter says that the mythical Star Wars: Detours will reportedly be released on Disney+ in the near future. It appears that one of George Lucas’ long-lost Star Wars projects may finally be seeing the light of day after almost a decade on the shelves.
#STAR WARS DETOURS SERIES#
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.By Justin Klawans 1 year ago Follow Tweet 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.
#STAR WARS DETOURS LICENSE#
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.
Has there been any talk about bringing that to the streaming service Disney+ ? I was thinking about your show Star Wars: Detours. Recently, Yahoo Movies spoke with Seth Green to promote his latest movie, Changeland, where he was asked about a old project he worked on for Star Wars and if it could come to Disney+ in the future:
