Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures Season 1 continues the Force-fueled fun this summer: Six all-new episodes will debut on Disney+ and Disney Junior beginning August 2, with more to come later this year. In total, Season 1 will be a 25-episode run.
Set during The High Republic era, the Lucasfilm animated series aimed at preschoolers follows Jedi Younglings as they study the ways of the Force and learn valuable skills needed to become Jedi. The series was recently nominated for a 2023 Television Critics Association Award and was awarded a Common Sense Seal from Common Sense Media, which acknowledges outstanding media that families can enjoy together.
The first seven episodes from the series, which premiered May 4 (Star Wars Day), saw the Younglings train with Master Yoda and Master Zia at the Jedi temple on Tenoo, meet pilot and fast friend Nash Durango, and clash with pirate Taborr Val Dorn. The six new episodes will follow the Younglings as they continue to hone their Force abilities and go on adventures across the galaxy.
“We’ve been thrilled to see a whole new generation fall in love with the Star Wars galaxy through Young Jedi Adventures,” says James Waugh, series executive producer and SVP, Franchise Content & Strategy at Lucasfilm. “We hope to continue delighting younglings, Jedi padawans and the fans of all ages who have declared themselves #NubsNation, with these new episodes.”
