Star Wars : Detours, A New Animated Comedy Series

Honor Hunter of Blue Sky Disney did a post about it two days ago, and i couldn't resisted to had a look to this new Star Wars animated
comedy series called "Star Wars Detours". What the hell is it, you ask? Well, according to the official description "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".

This animated series is not aired on any TV channel yet so what you'll see below are just previews but i have to say that i like it. I mean,
i like the look, the design of it. If the jokes are good enough to be really funny all along each episode then it might become a cult show.
However, i think that Honor is right when he wrote "It's clearly aimed at a younger audience than "The Clone Wars," but it does seem
to have humor that will fly over kids heads". Good point, and we'll see how successful it will be.

It also may be surprising to have a show like this produced by Georges Lucas considering that it's having fun of his own creatures.
But, first, i think that Lucas is smart enough to enjoy something good even if it's having fun of his creatures, and, two, i suspect that
Georges also realized the merchandise potential if the show become successful ( or even if it doesn't ). Expect anytime soon a new style
of Han Solo, Obi Wan, Princess Leia and all the others characters, this time in cartoonesque mini figurines!

In the meantime, have a look below at a selection of already released clips. Don't watch only the trailer - the first one below - as the clips
