The Makers of Robot Chicken Announce Star Wars Detours

Posted 8 years ago by Television

There are two things in life I enjoy above pretty much every. Well, two things other than my family, career, dog, and all the other stuff I’m supposed to say. Those two things are Star Wars and funny stuff.

That means I’m an instant fan of this new creation from the funnymakers at Robot Chicken. Surely you’ve seen the Adult Swim TV series created by Seth Green and Matthew Senreich . They’ve done a few Star Wars parody specials over the years. Now they seem to have gone whole hog Gamorrean Guard into Star Wars with Star Wars Detours.

It’s an animated series that was just announced at Star Wars Celebration VI in Orlando. The details are a bit sketchy on whether it’ll be a TV or web series. With Robot Chicken and Lucasfilm’s existing relationships with Cartoon Network, I have to assume it’ll be on there.

Check out the trailer above and watch the three clips over at starwars.com. There’s also an official Detours Facebook page.

Shirt of the Day: Admiral Ackbar Cereal

Star Wars parodies are a dime a dozen. Unless you’re talking about the special Star Wars-themed Robot Chicken shows by Seth Green and Matt Senreich. The Adult Swim series has done three episodes devoted exclusively to George Lucas’ universe. Their stop-motion animated skits are the things of legend — if legends were about crudely manipulated toys doing insanely funny things you’d never expect.

The second special is the origin of this snazzy new shirt from T-Shirt Bordello. For just $14.99 you can own a piece of intergalactic breakfast cereal that should have been. If you’re not familiar with it, you can watch the video on adultswim.com.

I’m not sure this is licensed by either the Star Wars or Robot Chicken camps, but that won’t matter when your friends are laughing and pointing at your torso—something I only get when I’m not wearing a shirt.
