It’s a little easier for the company to have external parodies than it is for them to present their own characters in a deconstructive way. Well, I imagine if it’s just a Robot Chicken special, it lives in a slightly different world than something that was produced by Lucasfilm and created by George Lucas. Because right now it doesn’t seem like the company plan includes this kind of deconstructive comedy coexisting with these sincere interpretations of the characters. I think there would have to be such a clear and vocal fan demand to make anybody want to shift their plan.
It’s like all of that came post us making these 40 episodes. It’s a tough thing because the show was created before the sale to Disney, before the plan to make new movies, before the plan to develop a theme park environment, before the concept of a subscriptions streaming service that housed several offshoots, including an Obi Wan show or a Mandalorian show. And it doesn’t seem right now that they’re pursuing this kind of comedy. My understanding is that the Lucasfilm plan is rooted in new movies and expansive television for the Disney+ platform. Do you have any updates on the state of Star Wars: Detours? Is there anything you can talk about, or is it still kind of status quo from where it’s been for the last few years?

Robot Chicken is known for poking fun at pop culture. In a wide ranging interview with Collider, Seth Green touched on the status of the shelved Star Wars animation project, ‘Star Wars: Detours.’
