The Eye on the Galaxy

23 Apr

It’s been more than 6 years since I got word of Wander Over Yonder’s uncalled-for cancellation. Back in 2020, I had this idea of transitioning from S2 to (the still shelved) S3 with a series of one-minute shorts. They’re similar to the pre-S2 shorts in which Lord Hater broadcasts his attempts to destroy Wander, but they all feature a Watchdog named Andy (the chief security monitor and host of the all-Watchdog show, Eye on the Skullship) interviewing various refugees on the ex-secret planet so he and the other Watchdogs can learn more about them and their needs. The idea originated from the fact that the Watchdogs became acquainted with the some of the refugees towards the end of The End of the Galaxy (the second season finale) and from Craig McCracken’s proposition that the refugees would still be on the ex-secret planet at the start of S3.

Below is a background I designed for this concept.

As for the shorts, I already have them figured out in terms of flow, humor, and execution. Click each one to open its transcript.
