It premiered in the United States on March 3, 2002, on Cartoon Network's late night programming block, Adult Swim, but was not picked up for a full series.

The pilot episode, "Bring Me the Head of Boba Fett", was written by Evan Dorkin, storyboarded by Stephen DeStefano, and directed by Chuck Sheetz.

Dorkin took a large role in the pilot's creation and has since stated that if he could have re-done the episode, he would have chosen to delegate more work and to choose an Eltingville story that would show off more of the series' potential and characters.
