The Zeta Squad

During their adventures, the droids find themselves in the service of successive new masters and in difficult situations as a result.

Production
The initial idea for what would become Star Wars: Force Ten began in the mid-2000s as a re-imagining of the American anime television series Ben 10 which was produced by Alex Soto for Cartoon Network in 2005. After being turned down by Lucasfilm, George Lucas sought the creation of a new idea about a jedi human boy to take the place of Star Wars ' main character Luke Skywalker, suggesting the concept out of her own interest in science fiction. He also drew inspiration from several sci-fi media including Star Trek and Star Wars. While developing the idea, Lucas enlisted David Kaufman to assist in developing the show.

After having sketched out several different potential character designs for the project's main man character, Lucas & Filoni ultimately came up with the final design of the character. Initially, the character was going to be named "Force Ten", but due to copyright concerns over similarities to the Rush song of the same name, the name was scrapped. After several names being considered, they finally settled on "Star Wars: Force Ten", named after actress Luke Wilson, who appeared as a guest star in the 2000s science fiction television series Idiocracy, and a type of a musical art called Skywalker Og which nearly coincides with perigee, and the same as Skywalker Sound.

George Lucas & Dave Filoni originally considering pitching the Star Wars: Force Ten concept to Nickelodeon in 1996, but chose to pitch it to GoAnimate Network instead due to the network's success with John A. Davis's other show "Mercy's Meeting". Following positive reception, GoAnimate Network greenlit the development of a 13-minute pilot episode of Force Ten which began production in 1997 and was finished the following year.

Star Wars: Force Ten first appeared on the development slate at GoAnimate Network in September 1998, under no official name for the pilot. On November 11, 1999, it was announced that the series, now simply retitled as Star Wars: Force Ten, would premiere on December 27, 2000. Even before the pilot episode premiered, the show had already been renewed for a second season. After the first season of the show aired, it was given the green light to start production.
