- George Lucas envisioned the show as "The Simpsons in the Star Wars universe," with 39 completed episodes featuring voice work from Billy Dee Williams and "Weird Al" Yankovic.
- Museum senior curator Ryan Linkof confirmed the facility includes 100,000 square feet of exhibition space across over 33 galleries, with curated episodes screening in the Robert Flaherty Theater and Slavko Vorkapich Theater.
