Somewhere, 39 accomplished, official episodes of a Star Wars tv present exist. A present George Lucas helped create. A present with Darth Vader, Han Solo, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and extra. And but, in response to the present’s co-creator, odds are we’ll by no means get to see any of it.
That present is known as Star Wars Detours and it was introduced again in 2012. Co-created by the Robot Chicken crew of Seth Green and Matthew Senreich, Detours was an formally licensed Star Wars animated comedy utilizing characters from all of the movies as much as that time. Lucas himself even gave his approval and consulted with Green and Senreich on the present. Brief glimpses have been launched (in addition to an outline Gizmodo actually trashed on the time), however when Disney bought Lucasfilm quickly after the announcement, the present was shelved awaiting additional actions. Now, in a brand new interview with Entertainment Weekly, Green says that’s form of the place issues nonetheless are nearly a decade later. “The most recent conversations I’ve had with anybody who would be in a position to say [Detours could be released] say that it’s not soon,” Green stated.
There are a couple of causes for this however Green says the principle cause is that all of Disney’s new Star Wars content material within the decade since has dated sure points of the present. “Well, there are 39 episodes that were finished for broadcast,” Green stated, in addition to 62 unproduced scripts. “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. 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.”
That’s largely discouraging, after all, however slightly bit encouraging in that it’s not what most followers assumed. From the transient glimpses followers bought of Detours again in 2012, it was a really foolish present, portraying Star Wars in methods followers weren’t used to seeing. “The other side of the stars, between the wars,” was one specific phrase. The prevailing assumption was Disney simply deemed it too foolish for its extra critical model. But apparently that’s not the one cause, a degree bolstered by current choices to place equally non-canon Star Wars content material similar to Droids and Ewoks on Disney+.
Green, an enormous Star Wars fan who lately returned to voice Cad Bane’s droid Todo 360 on The Bad Batch, doesn’t appear too damaged up about this although. In his thoughts, he feels he and the crew made a very good present, and it gave him an opportunity to work together with his idol. “I don’t really have an emotional position because I got to spend four straight years making something with George Lucas,” Green stated to EW. “And my partner and I, and all of the people that got to work on it—the artists and actors and directors and animators—we all got to make something Star Wars with the guy who created it. And so I know over those four years that he was having fun, and that’s really all I care about. I got a priceless experience with one of my truest heroes, and got to see him laugh and enjoy all of the things that he had created, in a time before he agreed to sell them to somebody else.” Any Star Wars can perceive that.
