Lucasfilm has shared a bunch of adorable character posters from Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures including one featuring a very old friend!
With Star Wars Day right around the corner, Lucasfilm is shining new light on the upcoming Young Jedi Adventures animated series. The gloriously fun new show follows a group of Younglings as they navigate their way through the galaxy and learn the ways of the Force. And of course, Jedi Master Yoda is on hand to guide them through their perilous journey as they cross paths with new friends, aliens, and pirates!
We were lucky enough to attend the world premiere at Star Wars Celebration a few weeks back and can assure fans that the series is an absolute blast. The show spreads a wonderfully wholesome message that will resonate with kids of all ages. All the while teaching them right from wrong, communication skills, tolerance, inclusivity, and even how to work collectively as a team. A positive message we call all benefit from. And of course, the guiding hand of Jedi Master Yoda is always a welcome addition to the fun!
CHARACTERS
A few weeks ago, we shared an introduction to the new characters that will carry this new series forward. And one of them has already captured the hearts and minds of the fanbase. And that character is Nubs – the adorable little blue fur ball that features heavily on all the paraphernalia from the series. Voiced by Star Wars legend Dee Bradley Baker, Nubs is adorable and will instantly become a legitimate fan favorite. And with a toy line already confirmed by Hasbro, he is a shoo-in to become a Christmas bestseller. But don’t take my word for it. Strap yourself in and meet the explore the character posters below.

By now it should be abundantly clear that we quickly fell in love with this series. And rightly so. The show is tons of fun to watch and oozes everything a Star Wars show should.
