![]() But the “Star Wars Holiday Special” had the original Star Wars cast, plus Bea Arthur, Harvey Korman, Jefferson Starship, and even the animated short that introduced us to Boba Fett. So why am I so irritated at a show created by the same people who made “Robot Chicken”, “Family Guy”, and has an all-star voice cast with actors like Felicia Day, Seth McFarlane, Seth Green? Even some Star Wars alumni came back like Anthony Daniels, Ahmed Best, and Billy Dee Williams. 'Where is she right now' Bear finally said. For those of you who don’t believe me I included the video below for your eye-gouging pleasure. Either that was the wind, or the guy was trying out for the role of Darth Vader in a Star Wars revival.

I was introduced to Star Wars as a child and it was without any ironic or comedic lens, so I saw Darth Vader as scary, and I saw all of those messages very. There are no Empires striking back or attacking clones here. Here's the series description, Star Wars Detours is an animated comedy that explores what daily life is like in a galaxy far, far away. It looks and sounds like it would be a fun series to watch, so hopefully Lucasfilm pulls the trigger on it sooner rather than later. Media distribution is changing so quickly, so dramatically, that can you even imagine what distribution of content will look like in five years? In a day and age when Netflix series are nominated for the top accolades TV has to offer, who is to say what it will look like when the new Star Wars movie comes out?

We have 39 finished episodes and around 62 finished scripts. Here's what Green had to say in a Reddit Q&A, "So there’s actually been quite a bit of talk about this, but Detours is just on hold currently.
