If you found that Star Wars didn’t have a large presence at SDCC this year, it’s probably because most of the news concerning future projects will debut at Star Wars Celebration Europe this weekend and at Disney’s D23 Expo in August. Nevertheless, some exciting news did make it out of San Diego Comic Con International.

Phineas and Ferb Meets Star Wars In Special Episode

Phineas and Ferb are making friends and going on adventures with new franchises! In August, the duo will be embarking on a mission with Marvel’s The Avengers in an epic crossover. From there, they’ll be going to a galaxy far, far away.

A special Star Wars-themed episode of the musical-comedy series is currently in production…The one hour event episode will premiere next year on Disney Channel and Disney XD, placing the characters of Phineas and Ferb in the same space and time as the world of Star Wars.

The episode’s story begins a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away — in summer. Phineas and Ferb are living happily on Tatooine, just one moisture farm over from Luke Skywalker. They love simply hanging out and creating new adventures under the twin suns, however, they find themselves thrust into a global rebellion when the plans for blowing up the Death Star accidentally fall into their hands.

Now that fate has suddenly pulled them into the fight for freedom, they must go in search of a pilot who can take them to the Rebels so they can hand over the plans. Complicating matters, Candace — the boys’ sister — has a Stormtrooper-like intent on “busting rebels” who chase Phineas and Ferb across the galaxy in hopes of retrieving the Death Star plans.

Meanwhile, back on the Death Star, Dr. Darth Enshmirtz, a low level Darth, has created a Force-powered “Sith-inator” that he plans to use against the Rebel Alliance. Agent P, working undercover for the Rebellion, is dispatched to stop him, but quickly gets trapped in carbonite. Then, things take a startling turn when Ferb is accidentally hit by the full blast of Dr. Darth Enschmirtz’s “inator” and becomes…an evil Sith.

Stay tuned to StarWars.com for more on this Force-filled episode of Phineas and Ferb.
