I realize that perhaps I am taking this on with a level of cynicism, but after looking at two of the projects announced at Star Wars Celebration (the giant Star Wars convention put on by Lucasfilm), I think I might actually be finally sick of Star Wars.

Look, I actually enjoyed the prequels (even Episode I had its moments), and I really love The Clone Wars, but…yeah. You’ll see.

One of the biggest announcements from the con was the official reveal of the new Star Wars cartoon from the creators of Robot Chicken. Since the new toon went into production under the eyes of Seth Green and Matthew Senerich, I was wondering how this would go - expecting it to be Robot Chicken: Star Wars the series. But the new cartoon, titled Star Wars: Detours is anything but.

Here’s the first look. Maybe you’ll feel differently.

But I think we can agree upon this - continuing their ongoing partnership with Disney, Lucasfilm has allowed for probably the ugliest merchandise hybrids ever. Behold - STAR WARS CARS.

Yes. Like the Pixar movie Cars. I guess if I were 6, I’d be stoked. As it stands, these things scare the heck out of me, a terrifying example of corporate synergy. A full gallery appears below.

Maybe I’ve just outgrown the series. Stay tuned for when I blog positively about the next Star Wars thing!
