Exclusive Report: Star Wars: Detours Not Coming Next Month To Disney+

We saw reports scattered online about Star Wars: Detours getting to Disney+ on Star Wars Day. We can exclusively confirm via our inside sources with direct knowledge of the situation that these reports are untrue and Star Wars: Detours is not heading anywhere anytime soon. 

For those that don’t know, Star Wars Detours is an unaired American CGI-animated comedy series. It is differentiated from the other Star Wars animated series in that it is a parody of the franchise. It offers a comedic take on what happened between the prequel trilogy (Episodes I–III) and the original trilogy (Episodes IV–VI). The series is produced by Lucasfilm Animation in collaboration with Robot Chicken creators Seth Green and Matthew Senreich.  Although roughly two seasons of the show exist, they have never been released to the public. Since The Walt Disney Company’s acquisition of Lucasfilm in 2012, the show has been on hiatus to allow Lucasfilm Animation to focus on other projects.

The series was announced at Star Wars Celebration VI in mid-2012.  The series was intended to be set between the events of Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith and Episode IV – A New Hope. In March 2013, Lucasfilm postponed Detours, reconsidering whether a comedy series would be a sensible way to introduce the franchise to new fans, when a sequel trilogy was also being produced. That September, Green said 39 episodes had been completed, with 62 additional scripts finished.

Voice actors that were involved in the show included Dee Bradley Baker, Abraham Benrubi, Ahmed Best as Jar Jar Binks, Anthony Daniels as C-3PO, Felicia Day, Donald Faison, Nat Faxon, Seth Green as Obi-Wan Kenobi, Jennifer Hale, Zachary Levi, Joel McHale, Breckin Meyer, Dan Milano, Andy Richter as Zuckuss, Cree Summer, Catherine Taber as Princess Leia, Billy Dee Williams as Lando Calrissian, “Weird Al” Yankovic as 4-LOM,  Grey DeLisle, and Seth MacFarlane as Palpatine.

Writers for the series included Dan Milano, Tom Root, Zeb Wells, Doug Goldstein, Breckin Meyer, Kevin Shinick, David A. Goodman, Michael Price, and Jane Espenson. Brendan Hay served as head writer.

Our Take

Not everyone can do journalism correctly. Bubbleblabber prides ourselves of having more legit sources that can confirm/deny most anything across adult animation. If anyone sees reports that they think are bonus, you can contact me below and we can confirm.
