Han Solo in Star Wars Detours. Image courtesy of LucasfilmThere are 39 complete episodes of Star Wars TV show. George Lucas created the show. The show features Darth Vader and Han Solo as well as Obi-Wan Kenobi and many other characters. Yet, the show's co-creator says that it is unlikely that they will ever see it.AdvertisementStar Wars Detours is the name of that show and was first announced in 2012. Detours was co-created by Matthew Senreich and the Robot Chicken team, Seth Green. It featured characters from all Star Wars films. Even Lucas gave his approval and worked with Senreich and Green on the show. A few glimpses of the show were released, along with a description Gizmodo really criticized at the time. However, when Disney bought Lucasfilm shortly after the announcement, the show had to be put on hold pending further actions. In a new interview with Entertainment Weekly Green said that's a good representation of the state things are nearly a decade later. Green stated that it is not soon in the most recent conversations with anyone who could say [Detours could possibly be released].Green said that there are many reasons why this happened, but the most important reason was that Disney's Star Wars content has dated certain parts of the show. Green stated that there were 39 episodes available for broadcast and 62 unproduced scripts. They were completed almost 10 years ago. Therefore, there would need to be some reconfiguration of existing material to make it suitable for Disney+. It has been explained to me that there hasn't been enough interest to make it available and that there isn't any interest in this content being released on Disney+ by Lucasfilm.This is a bit disappointing, but it's also encouraging that the fans are not wrong. Detours was shown in a very silly way in 2012, and it showed Star Wars in a way that fans were not used to. One phrase was the other side of the stars. It was assumed that Disney thought it was too silly to be considered serious. Recent decisions to place similar non-canon Star Wars content, such as Droids or Ewoks, on Disney+ are proving that this is not the only reason.Green, who is a big Star Wars fan and recently voiced Todo 360, the Cad Banes droid on The Bad Batch, seems not to be too upset about it. He believes he and his team put on a great show and that he got to work with his idol. Green told EW that I don't really feel emotionally because I was able to spend four years creating something with George Lucas. My partner, me and all the other people who got to work on it with George Lucas were able to create Star Wars together. So I knew over the four years that he was having a lot of fun. That's all that matters to me. It was a wonderful experience to share with one of my most beloved heroes. I saw him laugh and enjoy the creations he made, even though he wanted to sell them.Are you curious about where our RSS feed went. The new one can be found here.
