If you are both a fan of The Simpsons and also Star Wars then this is your lucky day. Really, take a look.
Since its inception in 1989, the American animated television series created by Matt Groening The Simpsons always manages to refer to the works in our very real life, in particular by multiplying the winks and other Easter Eggs. And if we had already had many references to Star Wars, this time it is literally an entire short film that is dedicated to the saga. Promising, no?
Star Wars in The Simpsons
By the way, you can find on the official Disney+ YouTube channel a best of all the references to Star Wars In The Simpsons. And they are very numerous. When it’s not a character from the saga like Chewbacca who appears on screen, it’s an allusion to lucrative merchandising that is mentioned.
In the same kind of idea therefore, Disney + offers on the occasion of May 4, 2023, Star Wars day (because may the 4th be with you) the discovery of a complete and unpublished short film. You can find the ad below:
For the record, Disney, a real juggernaut of entertainment, bought the American channel Fox, which held the rights to The Simpsons in 2019. In this context, we can understand this kind of creation even better. For the scenario here is what we can get your teeth into for those who do not have a subscription to the Mickey Streaming service:
Homer loses track of Maggie, who flies off in Grogu’s hover pram on a hyperspace adventure across the galaxy. Facing a squadron of TIE starships, Maggie brings Star Wars back to Springfield in this epic short film celebrating all the Star Wars magic.
The Simpsons, when is the sequel?
At the start of 2023 we could learn that La Fox had placed its trust in Sympson until 2025, enough to broadcast seasons 35 and 36. And there is no doubt that in 2025, if there is still success, the company will renew to go even further. It is hard to imagine investors letting go of such a goose that lays the golden egg. In the end, it is above all the dubbers who risk being fed up before the public.
On the side of movies in theaters, the official sequel to the 2007 feature film has been rumored for many years and there is currently nothing official on the subject. Given the success at the time, it would obviously be a shame for them not to try the experiment a second time.
