Young Jedi Adventures has opened up a lane of Star Wars storytelling for younger kids. It follows a group of Jedi Younglings during the High Republic Era (centuries before the Skywalker Saga begins) as they go through the missions and lessons needed to become Jedi Knights. Kai Brightstar (Jamaal Avery Jr.), Lys Solay (Juliet Donenfeld), and Nubs (Dee Bradley Baker) are the principal Jedi characters, with pilot Nash Durango (Emnmna Berman) joining them on adventures. Characters from Star Wars High Republic novels and comics like Master Yoda, Jedi Knight Bell Zettifar, Republic Supreme Chancellor Lina Soh and others also make appearances in the show.
The trailer for Young Jedi Adventures Season 2 captures the kid-themed irreverence and fun of the series while highlighting themes like inclusion (making Nash feel truly part of the team), bravery/overcoming fear or anxiety, or taking on the more complex or challenging issues that come with growing up. It looks like everything that fans loved about Young Jedi Adventures – plus more.
“We’re thrilled to invite fans of Kai, Lys, Nubs, and Nash back to the galaxy far, far away with Season 2 of ‘Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures,” showrunner and executive producer Michael Olson said in a statement. “This season, our heroes face thrilling challenges, welcome spirited Padawan Wes Vinik and a new class of younglings to Tenoo, and reunite with friends from across the galaxy. Together, they’ll learn important lessons about friendship, compassion, and overcoming fears. This heartfelt and action-packed season will be a thrilling ride, and we can’t wait to share it with you.”
