Looks Like Disney Will Be Keeping Star Wars In House

Company cancels highly regarded Clone Wars, "postpones" Detours

Has Disney overexpanded? The purchase of Lucasfilm was the company's second multibillion-dollar acquisition in four years (Disney announced it would acquire Marvel Entertainment in 2009) and now it is cancelling Cartoon Network's well-liked animated series The Clone Wars and "postponing" Star Wars: Detours, the proposed  comedy series by Robot Chicken creators Seth Green and Matthew Senreich.

“It has been a pleasure to work with Lucasfilm on Star Wars: The Clone Wars over the last five years and introducing a whole new audience to this great iconic brand,” said the network in a statement.
