Star Warsfans are about to get a Valentine’s Day surprise, withDisney+announcing that the final batch of episodes forStar Wars: Young Jedi AdventuresSeason 1will premiere on February 14. A few months after Kai Brightstar (Jammal Avery Jr.) and his friends were introduced in the first season of the series, the group is back to continue their journey across the galaxy far, far away. But even if the padawans are part of aDisney Juniorshow aimed at younger audiences, they still have to face the dangers lurking around the corners of theStar Warsgalaxy.
The trailer opens with Master Yoda (Piotr Michael) assuring Kai that he’ll be able to become a powerful Jedi warrior over time, with the boy worried about him not being good enough for his training. The short video also features Master Zia (Nasim Pedrad) warning the crew about the challenges they might face on the field, including powerful battle droids that will stop at nothing to attack the group. Fortunately, the trailer ends with Yoda destroying all the battle droids with a quick throw of his lightsaber, keeping Kai and his friends safe.
The first season ofYoung Jedi Adventuresintroduced Kai, Nash (Emma Berman), Lys (Juliet Donenfeld) and Nubs (Dee Bradley Baker), as the crew flew off toward adventures that included sky skimming lessons, lightsaber sparring sessions and a visit to Ootoo Prime’s gem mines. Their quest would eventually lead them to a confrontation with Raxlo (Haley Joel Osment), who had been mining for Tenga rocks while damaging the Wellagrins' habitat. The padawans eventually found a way for the alien to continue working without affecting the Wellagrins, setting the stage for their new adventures.
When Does ‘Young Jedi Adventures’ Take Place?
Young Jedi Adventurestakes place during a period ofStar Warshistory known as The High Republic, meaning that Kai’s training happened approximately 200 years before the events ofStar Wars: Episode I -The Phantom Menace. That explains why Master Yoda looks more agile in the animated series than in his fight against Count Dooku (Christopher Lee) inStar Wars: Episode II -Attack of the Clones. The High Republic hasn’t been seen in live-action projects yet, but it will be onceThe Acolytepremieres on Disney+ later this year. The fact thatYoung Jedi Adventuresis set during this time period allows it to visit locations that previously only existed in comic books and novels, including the Starlight Beacon.
