Star Wars Detours to debut at Lucas Museum

A long-unreleased Star Wars animated comedy series will finally be viewable by the public this fall, not on a streaming service or television channel, but as part of a new museum exhibition. During a panel at San Diego Comic-Con on July -23, 2026, co-creator Seth Green announced that a curated selection of episodes from "Star Wars Detours" will be on display when the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art opens in Los Angeles on September 22, 2026.

The series, conceived as a comedic look at everyday life in the Star Wars galaxy set between "Revenge of the Sith" and "A New Hope," was developed by franchise creator George Lucas alongside Green and Matthew Senreich, the team behind the parody series "Robot Chicken." The project was first announced in 2012, and approximately 39 episodes were reportedly completed, with dozens more scripts written. However, following Disney's acquisition of Lucasfilm in October 2012, the series was shelved indefinitely.

At the time, Lucasfilm stated that "Detours" had been produced before plans for the new sequel trilogy were finalized, and that launching an animated comedy ahead of the 2015 film "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" no longer made strategic sense....
