What is Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures about?

Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures is an American animated children's television series that takes place in the Star Wars galaxy, specifically during the High Republic era, a period long before the events of the main Star Wars saga. This series introduces a group of Jedi younglings who are navigating the path to becoming full-fledged Jedi Knights. As part of their training, these younglings embark on a variety of adventures across the galaxy, where they not only practice their Force abilities but also learn crucial life lessons and assist those in need. The show aims to provide age-appropriate content for younger viewers while simultaneously enriching the Star Wars universe with new characters and stories. Produced by Lucasfilm Animation and Wild Canary Animation, the series features Michael Olson as the showrunner and Elliot Bour as supervising director. It includes a voice cast comprising Jamaal Avery Jr., Emma Berman, Juliet Donenfeld, Dee Bradley Baker, Jonathan Lipow, and Piotr Michael. With its premiere on Disney+ and Disney Junior on May 4, 2023, Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures became the first Star Wars animation explicitly tailored for a younger demographic. The series was preceded by the release of six shorts on YouTube, which were later made available on Disney+, serving as an introduction to the characters and setting of the show.
