Fourteen years after its first reveal, Star Wars: Detours is getting its public moment.

Seth Green and Matthew Senreich announced at a San Diego Comic-Con panel that a curated selection of episodes from the long-shelved animated parody series will screen at the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art when the museum opens in Los Angeles on Sept. 22.

"There is going to be a curation of episodes of that show on display for the public," Green told the audience, alongside Senreich and fellow panelists DC President Jim Lee and Lucas Museum Senior Curator Ryan Linkof.

The episodes will screen as part of the museum's "Star Wars in Motion" exhibit, one of roughly 30 exhibits spread across the opening slate.

Green and Senreich, Robot Chicken co-creators and co-founders of Stoopid Buddy Stoodios, produced Detours alongside Lucasfilm Animation, with George Lucas serving as an executive producer.

The show, set between the prequel and original trilogies, assembled a cast that included Anthony Daniels as C-3PO, Billy Dee Williams as Lando Calrissian, Seth MacFarlane as Emperor Palpatine, Ahmed Best as Jar Jar Binks, and "Weird Al" Yankovic as bounty hunter 4-LOM.

The series was first unveiled at Star Wars Celebration in 2012, shortly before Disney acquired Lucasfilm. Lucasfilm postponed it in March 2013, citing the decision to move forward with a new trilogy.
