"When developing 'Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures,' the first 'Star Wars' series created for preschoolers, the creative team never stopped thinking about how this show may be a 'youngling's' first step into a larger world and their first time experiencing the limitless potential of the 'Star Wars' galaxy. The show's characters, tone, and the life lessons woven throughout each episode were written just for them, and our talented team was committed to honoring the cinematic legacy while staying true to the expectations of parents for the youngest of audiences."

Alyssa Sapire, Senior Vice President, Development, Series, Strategy, Disney Junior: "Our collaboration with Lucasfilm on this series is an amazing opportunity to introduce this universally cherished franchise to a younger generation. As an early entry point into 'Star Wars,' we have created a series with exciting new and familiar characters and storylines that highlight the values of compassion, teamwork, and friendship, which are important elements for all of our Disney Junior programming."
