Star Wars Detours to screen at Los Angeles Lucas Museum
Developed over time first seen 2 months ago
A curated selection of the long-shelved animated comedy Star Wars Detours will be screened at Los Angeles’s Lucas Museum of Narrative Art after it opens on 22 September 2026. Announced by co-creator Seth Green at San Diego Comic-Con, the presentation is the first official public showing of the series in more than a decade, although access will be limited to museum visitors.
Lucasfilm Animation produced Detours with Green and Matthew Senreich in 2013 as a parody set between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope. Its release was delayed over concerns that comedy was an unsuitable entry point for new Star Wars audiences, then cancelled in 2015; the voice cast included Billy Dee Williams and “Weird Al” Yankovic, while only a brief leaked episode has previously appeared publicly.
- Star Wars Detours will receive its first official public screening since cancellation.
- Selected episodes will be shown only at Los Angeles’s Lucas Museum.
- The animated parody was shelved in 2013 and cancelled in 2015.

Star Wars Detours is an animated comedy made by Lucasfilm Animation in 2013. It uses characters and places from the Star Wars films for parody, with stories set in the period between the prequel film Revenge of the Sith and the original film A New Hope.
The series was created with Seth Green and Matthew Senreich, who are known for animated comedy. Its voice cast included actor Billy Dee Williams, associated with the character Lando Calrissian, and musician “Weird Al” Yankovic.
Lucasfilm postponed the programme before it was released, partly because it was considering how younger viewers might first encounter Star Wars. It was later cancelled, meaning most of its episodes have not been publicly available.
