“We are honored to be nominated by our peers for five Children’s and Family Emmy Awards,” says James Waugh, SVP, franchise content and strategy. “The team behind this series always believed that the universal myths and aspirational lessons of the Star Wars galaxy could spark the imaginations of even the youngest of audiences; that somehow we could pass back a little of that awe-inspiring cinematic magic that so many of us were shown by George Lucas as we were growing up with Star Wars. We were able to make that a reality in large thanks to Michael Olson whose heart, depth, and love of the franchise is found in every frame of the show! We owe these amazing nominations to all of our amazing cast and crew who poured their hearts and souls into this project that meant so much to all of us. Thank you Disney Junior, Wild Canary, Icon, and everyone at Lucasfilm. And most importantly to the fans, the Force is strong with you!”
Huge congratulations to everyone involved in the series for the nominations, no date has been set for the Children’s & Family Emmys, but we’ll let you know as soon as we hear. Watch episodes from the first season of Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures on Disney+ and Disney Junior now, with more new episodes arriving on November 8th.
