    Lucasfilm "postpones" Star Wars: Detours.

    Looks like Disney wisely decided a painfully unfunny CGI cartoon series ridiculing the original trilogy wouldn't be the best idea when they are trying to rebuild the SW brand for the new movies.

    You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

    Yeah, that's probably a smart move...although it sucks for Green and Senreich.

    Anyone think Clone Wars WON'T show up on Disney XD?

      Clone Wars is The Best Thing About Star Wars. The Movies R Garbage Compaired to Them imo. I Hope it Continues.

        No, it's done.

        I even liked the Clone Wars series. If only the prequel movies could have been a fraction as good. But the toys aren't selling and the unrelenting focus on the prequels has damaged SW as a brand. I have no doubt Disney XD will get a SW series but it won't be prequel based.

            "The Toys Arn't Selling " ....

            I dunno where they get the Math on this ..., But I haven't seen Any New SW Clone Wars Figures outside of the Dath Maul / Savage 3 Pack ..., There's Nothing But Re-hashed Merchandise on the Shelf, with very little offerings of much Else ....

              I didn't follow Clone Wars every episode, but I saw enough to know if Anakin had been portrayed that way in the prequel films, I think a lot of folks would have cared a lot more about him, and his fall from grace.

                I'm not a Star Wars fan by any stretch, but given the choice, I'd rather see the Clone Wars cartoons than the crappy movies.

                Mina is the world's first Paranormal Petsitter in the new middle-grade book series by Gary Buettner, MONSTER PETS, coming in FALL 2014 from EMBY KIDS. Spooky adventure that's perfect reading for kids 8-12

                  I never even heard about TCW being 'cancelled,' since Dave said scripts were already written for Season 6. I hope XD does pick it up. If it gets cancelled now, then the full story wouldn't be told...and that would suck for everybody.

                    So by selling Star Wars to Disney, Lucas screws over fans again, by insuring the death of the only entertaining new Star Wars product. Well played Lucas; well played!

                      Detours looked dreadful. I am a big Star Wars cheerleader, but I hope that one stays dead.

                        I totally agree and I don't think we will ever see it officially air. I have a feeling they are going to "Holiday Special" it.

                          The reason I think Detours happened in the first place was that Lucas genuinely enjoyed the company of Seth Green and Matt Senreich. They probably made him feel young. But without Lucas running the show, Disney wisely mothballed the show. Honestly, I think it would be fine to show the segments on Starwars.com. Beyond that? No way.
