"Adventure awaits you and the younglings in your life in Star Wars Galaxy of Adventures, a new series of animated shorts that will introduce the classic themes, pivotal moments, and iconic characters from the Star Wars saga to the next generation.

Debuting on the all-new StarWarsKids.com and the Star Wars Kids YouTube channel on November 30, the first six shorts combine original dialogue, music, and sound effects with bold new animations, and fun and educational add-ons designed to help older fans, parents, and other mentors to welcome the kids in their lives to explore the galaxy far, far away. Additional shorts featuring fan-favorite characters will debut in December, with regular releases following in 2019.

“With Galaxy of Adventures, we wanted to craft something that allowed parents to help their kids take their first step into a much larger world whether they were ready to show their kids the films or wanted to find new ways to explore the content,” James Waugh, Lucasfilm’s vice president for franchise content and strategy, tells StarWars.com.

The dynamic animated adventures are only part of a multi-pronged initiative under the Star Wars Galaxy of Adventures banner, and the beginning of a year-long celebration of Star Wars storytelling, which will culminate with the final chapter in the Skywalker saga — Star Wars Episode IX — in theaters December 2019."

I liked these , but yeah , they were too short and I could have done without the narration on each clip .As a previous poster said , maybe it is a test bed to gauge reaction for a full blown series . fingers crossed .

Yeah… is that the “content”? They’re making a line of toys based on that?
Referring to these as bumpers would be more than generous.

Reminds me of that YouTube ad for the Star Wars ‘Frames’ book, but less funny.

‘Han Solo - Captain of the Millennium Falcon’ - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mzz5D6h3uQ0 (6 mins long)

^ a pretty fun watch - with a fair bit of Chewbacca too 😃
 

These have been lots of fun for kids, I hope they do more, maybe with Prequel or Sequel moments too.

Darth Vader vs. the Rebel Fleet - Fearsome Fighter Pilot - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQaYS1FnsI8

^ the first of the ‘Galaxy of Adventures’ episodes to feature content outside of the Original Trilogy films.
 

My nephews love these animated shorts - they haven’t seen ‘Boba - Bounty Hunter’ and the ‘Jedi vs Sith - The Skywalker Saga’ as yet - though I imagine they’ll be watching them on repeat a few times like they have the previous episodes.

That ‘Jedi vs. Sith - The Skywalker Saga’ episode… very nicely done, indeed.

I’m with you Tobar - an interview with the team would be most welcome - as would more episodes outside the main Saga…
 

Does anyone know if they are doing any more episodes?

THey have been a welcome introduction for many in the younger kids in my family who are just getting to the age where they’ll be seeing the films for the first time. I realy hope they do more (and soon 😃)

‘Official Season Two Trailer | Star Wars Galaxy of Adventures’:-

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duMl_c5r_kk - at the official ‘Star Wars Kids’ youtube channel.
 

Looks like the animation is a liitle more detailed here, or has more depth to it - simply going on this trailer (so I may well be mistaken 😃).

It was a decent introduction for kids to some of the more iconic scense from Star Wars in season one of this, so should be interesting to see what they do for season two…
