In the early 2010s, Seth Green and Matthew Senreich made a Star Wars animated parody series titled Detours. It never aired, and when the Walt Disney Co. bought Lucasfilm in 2012, it was feared the show would never be seen again.

Star Wars fans and the public, however, will finally be able to see at least some of episodes as part of the expansive exhibitions set to be seen at the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art.

 There is going to be a curation of episodes of that show on display for the public,  revealed Seth Green, who created the show with his Robot Chicken partner Matthew Senreich, during a panel at San Diego Comic Con.

Green and Senreich were on the stage in Hall H to give insight into the Lucas Museum, which opens in September, and were joined by world renowned comic artist and head of DC Jim Lee, and Lucas Musuem senior curator   head of film programs for Ryan Linkof, as well as moderator actress Keke Palmer.

Linkof revealed that the museum will have, among its 100,000 square feet exhibition space and over 33 galleries, two theatres screening non-stop shorts and movies, highlighting how the art of the images is a vehicle for technology, storytelling and their creators.

Visitors will be able to access the Robert Flaherty Theater and the Slavko Vorkapich Theater in an open-door, drop-in gallery-like experience. The Flaherty will be more documentary focused, and feature documentaries about artists whose work is exhibited in the Lucas Museum, including Norman Rockwell, Lee, Charles Schulz, Maurice Sendak, Diego Rivera, J.C. Leyendecker, and Weegee, as well as playing Comic Book Confidential, directed by Robert Mann, among other works.

The Vorkapich, dedicated to the motion of emotion, will show early silent films by Georges Méliès, Émile Cohl, W.K.L. Dickson, Edwin S. Porter, and others; early animations by Winsor McCay; Looney Tunes; anime from Cowboy Bebop; an episode of Star Wars: Visions; and student films (1965-1969) by George Lucas, among other reels.

Linkof also debuted a trailer for the film program, which can be seen below.
