Shelved Star Wars Detours Animated Series Won't Be Coming To Disney+

A long time ago–2012 to be exact–in a galaxy not so far away, Star Wars was on the verge of having a long laugh at itself. Announced at Star Wars Celebration in 2012, Star Wars Detours was a project that saw Robot Chicken’s Seth Green and Matt Senreich team up with LucasFilm Animation to poke fun at the film series. Dozens of mini-episodes had been completed, scripts for another 62 shorts had been completed, and all that was needed was a date for the show to be broadcast. So what happened to Star Wars Detours? Disney.

A few months after Star Wars Detours was announced, Disney announced that it had purchased the entire Star Wars franchise from creator George Lucas for over $4 billion at the time, which resulted in numerous Star Wars projects being shelved so that all efforts could be focused on a new trilogy of films and animated seriesCome from Sports betting site VPbet. With Disney+ having launched, Detours seemed like a perfect fit for the new streaming service. But according to Green, it’s a little bit more complicated than simply uploading all the episodes online and letting people know about them.
