Star Wars Detours is a Star Wars animated series scheduled to begin airing in 2013. It features a comedic look at the Star Wars universe.

Premise
''Star Wars Detours is an animated comedy that explores what daily life is like in a galaxy far, far away. There are no Empires striking back or attacking clones here. Instead, Star Wars Detours focuses on the universe's regular folks and their everyday problems... which, to be fair, do frequently involve famous bounty hunters, crazed Ewoks, and even a Dark Lord of the Sith. Welcome to Star Wars: Detours: the other side of the stars, between the wars.''

Development
George Lucas revealed in June 2009 that a new Star Wars animated series was in development. On April 5, 2010, StarWars.com officially revealed that the series was in production by Lucasfilm Animation, and that it would be a comedy. At August 2010's Celebration V, it was announced that writers from various TV series, including The Simpsons, Family Guy, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Battlestar Galactica, SpongeBob SquarePants and Brendan Hay of The Daily Show, had been hired for the project. Seth Green and Matthew Senreich of Robot Chicken are creatively involved. Jennifer Hill of The Backyardigans is a producer, and Todd Grimes of Back at the Barnyard is a director for the show.
