According to a recent press release, Disney+ has announced “Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures Shorts” will premiere on April 26 ahead of the full episodes debut on May the Fourth.

A Galaxy for All Audiences

Set in the High Republic era, this particular show is notable for being the first of its kind in the “Star Wars” universe, with a concept specifically geared toward young audiences. Several fans have been excited by this prospect, finally having the potential opportunity to introduce their children to a beloved fandom with less intense but equally qualitative adventures. The story, as described in the aforementioned press release, follows a group of Jedi younglings centuries before events witnessed in the prequel trilogy films “as they study the ways of the Force, explore the galaxy, help citizens and creatures in need, and learn valuable skills needed to become Jedi along the way.”
