And that'll be misinformative for receiving something like Episode VII, or the ongoing future plans for Star Wars, where the specter of Darth Vader is supposed to loom large like the fall of Stalin. And the conversation that we had with Lucasfilm was: If these next three years are spent programming a sort of deconstructive comedy inside the Star Wars universe to young kids, that's going to be their first brush with Star Wars. We had networks that wanted to put the show on for the next three years leading up to Episode VII (The Force Awakens) coming out. And then we stopped down our production when the company got sold to Disney, and they announced that they were going to focus on expanding the perpetual existence of Star Wars as a global IP.

George wanted to make this show, and his thoughts seem to be that he would manufacture it under his own conditions and then license it to another platform. When we were making the show originally, there wasn't a plan for distribution. There hasn't been any official talk, but that has seemed to be a really organic path for it. Has there been any talk about bringing that to the streaming service Disney+ ? I was thinking about your show Star Wars: Detours. But I also don’t love crowds, so I may wait until I can get in there without it being crazy. Seth Green: I haven’t gone yet! I’ve been crazy busy these past couple weeks. Yahoo Entertainment: I have to ask, have you been to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge yet?
#DETOURS MOVIE UPDATE#
Prior to Changeland’s theatrical and VOD release on June 7, Green talked with Yahoo Entertainment about making the film - and gave us an update on the status of his long-shelved animated comedy Star Wars: Detours. But Changeland was a labor of love for the writer-director, as is evident from the beautiful shots of Thailand and the easy onscreen chemistry between Green’s real-life friends. The contemplative character study may surprise Green’s fans, who know him best for comedies - both as a star ( Austin Powers, Can’t Hardly Wait, Family Guy) and a creator ( Robot Chicken).

Over the course of boat trips, rainforest treks and an underground boxing match, Brandon’s journey of self-discovery acquires some colorful characters, including an expat boat driver played by Culkin (in his first film role since 2007) a tour guide played by Green’s wife Clare Grant and a mystery man played by WWE star Randy Orton. In Changeland, Green plays Brandon, a man at a relationship crossroads who takes his estranged pal Dan (Breckin Meyer) on a Phuket trip he’d originally intended as a romantic getaway.
