A new animated Star Wars series is being developed by Star Wars creator George Lucas.

Animators Seth Green and Matthew Senreich, who were behind hit parody sketch show Robot Chicken, will team up for the Lucasfilm Animation production.

“The Star Wars universe is so dense and rich,” Green said.

The series follows on from Lucasfilm Animation’s Star Wars: The Clone Wars, which focuses on the Jedi Knights’ struggle to maintain order.

The animation show, which airs on Cartoon Network, is now in its second series.

But the newly developed series will have a more comedic and irreverent tone.

“What do these characters do when they’re not overthrowing empires?” Green said.

“We’re going to pull back the curtain of some of those behind-the-scenes shenanigans,” added Senreich.

George Lucas’s Lucasfilm company is considered a world leader in animation techniques.

No US television network has yet been linked to the latest Star Wars series.
