We're in a golden age of Star Wars streaming: The Mandalorian, Ahsoka, Obi-Wan, and Maul – Shadow Lord are just some of the small-screen adventures populating a galaxy far, far away's output on Disney Plus.
So, spare a thought for those who didn't make it, including Star Wars: Detours, a Robot Chicken-style madcap animation brought to life by Seth Green. 39 episodes were produced, but fell by the wayside after Disney's purchase of Lucasfilm.
On whether it would be possible for Star Wars: Detours to see the light of day, Green was downbeat, "Detours itself would have to be edited, upgraded – they'd have to do new work on it to make it possible to put it on streaming. I just don't think they're willing to commit the spend to update and release this when they can't see a clear benefit.
With Dave Filoni and Lynwen Brennan coming in to head up Lucasfilm after Kennedy's departure, there remains some hope – a new hope, perhaps – that Star Wars: Detour could take an unlikely left turn onto Disney Plus. For now, though, hearing about hijinks such as Vader's Life Day celebrations will be a snapshot of what could have been.
