Announcement and Exhibition Details
During a panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2026, co-creator Seth Green revealed that curated selections from the unreleased animated sitcom Star Wars: Detours will be shown exclusively at the soon-to-open Lucas Museum of Narrative Art in Los Angeles, California. The museum, scheduled to open on September 22, will feature the episodes in two screening rooms—the Robert Flaherty Theater and the Slavko Vorkapich Theater—allowing visitors to drop in throughout the day.
History of the Series
Star Wars: Detours was first announced at Star Wars Celebration 2012, with George Lucas, Seth Green, and Matthew Senreich listed as co-creators. The project was intended as a parody sitcom that would place the Star Wars universe in a “Simpsons-style” comedic setting. After Disney’s acquisition of Lucasfilm later that year, the series was shelved. In a 2013 interview, Green confirmed that the production team had completed 39 episodes before the show was “frozen in carbonite.”
Content and Access Limitations
The series is described as a satirical, light-hearted take on the franchise, distinct from the more serious tone of the films and television shows. Rather than a full streaming release, only selected episodes will be available for public viewing at the museum, meaning the content will remain limited to museum patrons and will not be broadly accessible online or via traditional media platforms.
Official Statements & Responses
Green emphasized the collaborative nature of the project, noting that it was “a show with George” that aimed to bring humor to the galaxy far, far away.
