Seth Green Announces Shelved Simpsons-Style Star Wars Series Will Premiere at Lucas Museum
The animated comedy, created with George Lucas, will be exhibited for the first time when the Los Angeles museum opens in September.
“He wanted to make Simpsons in the Star Wars universe. It's called Detours.”
Seth Green announced at San Diego Comic-Con that his shelved animated series, Star Wars: Detours, will premiere at the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, according to Entertainment Weekly.
Green made the reveal during the "Inside the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art" panel on Thursday, July 23, 2026. Moderator Keke Palmer asked Green if his work was included in the museum, prompting the actor to share the news.
What is Star Wars: Detours?
The series is a CGI-animated comedy that offers a parody of the Star Wars franchise. It presents a comedic take on events set between the prequel and original trilogies. George Lucas, Matthew Senreich, and Seth Green are listed as its creators.
What did Seth Green say about it?
When given the go-ahead by museum curator Ryan Linkof, Green explained the show's origins. "We made a show with George, an animated series," Green said. "He wanted to make Simpsons in the Star Wars universe. It's called Detours, and there's… going to be a curation of episodes from that show on display for the public." He later called it "literally one of the greatest experiences I think I've ever had."
Why has it taken so long to see?
Star Wars: Detours has been in limbo since Disney's acquisition of Lucasfilm in 2012. The project, which Lucas executive-produced, was shelved and has remained unaired for over a decade.
