Lucas Museum to Present Curated Episodes of Shelved Star Wars Comedy

A selection of the long‑unreleased animated series will play only in the museum’s nonstop film theaters, with no wider release announced.

Overview

  • At San Diego Comic‑Con in July 2026, Seth Green said a curated set of Star Wars: Detours episodes will be part of an exhibit at the new Lucas Museum of Narrative Art.
  • The museum opens Sept. 22, 2026 and will operate two adjacent 299‑seat theaters that run continuous film programs included with general admission.
  • Detours was produced and previewed in 2012–2013 but was postponed after Disney acquired Lucasfilm and formally shelved in 2015, leaving the series unaired for more than a decade.
  • Reporting differs on how many episodes were finished—outlets cite either 26 or 39 completed episodes—and a six‑minute clip briefly leaked online in 2020 before being taken down.
  • Making the series viewable only to museum visitors turns scarce archival footage into an exclusive draw and leaves broader availability, including streaming, uncertain while boosting interest from fans and researchers.
