Coming soon to our galaxy with its vivid collection of bite-sized shorts, “Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures” returns for its second highly-anticipated season on Disney+ and Disney Jr. on Aug. 14, 2024, and we’ve got a rowdy new trailer to unwrap.
Taking place 200 years prior to the events of “The Phantom Menace” during the High Republic era when the Jedi Knights were at their peak, “Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures” chronicles the evolution of a gang of Jedi younglings, Kai Brightstar, Lys Solay, and Nubs, as they absorb the ways of the Force, traverse the cosmos learning Jedi skills, and aiding citizens and creatures in need of assistance with kindness.
“‘Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures’ Season 2 follows the younglings as they continue their training and embark on even bigger missions across the galaxy,” this season’s synopsis reads. “Helping to lead the younglings on these missions is Master Zia’s new Padawan, Wes Vinik, and his astromech RO-M1. As they continue their training and grow in the ways of the Force, the young Jedi will travel to new planets with new and old friends and encounter adversaries like The Ganguls, who are growing in their pirate ranks…”
