No clue; it was originally announced for it, too.

I wonder if this moving from Disney+ to YouTube has anything to do with the new head of Direct-To-Consumer they promoted
Legends of the Hidden Temple has to be one of the best kids shows of all time,
I'll give this a shot

I was theory-crafting that this was some COVID-related bullshit but this makes more sense, honestly
Got to be the best time growing up a Star Wars fan since the late 70s/early 80s (you know, not considering the whole pandemic).
During, apparently:
Season finale is going to be wild
This, the hell is wrong with them when they don't even have content.
If they're not putting this on Disney+ it really makes me think that they don't have much faith in its quality.
How so? It's a cute little game show for kids, with a Star Wars theme.
We had tons of shows like it here in the UK when I was a kid, and they were great.
And it's neat to see Ahmed Best. Dude's looking great.
Maybe you the thinking is to put it on YouTube to get as many kids as possible watching it and then put a bunch of Disney+ commercials throughout it.
The temple reminds me of Jungle Run, funnily enough.
From what I understand this is being made by the same folks who have made popular adventure gameshows in the past, it should be very well made for what it is.

Why not both though? My kids would probably watch it if it was on Disney+ but aren't going to on YT.
Eh, only thing kids today get over 90's Star Wars kids is the tv stuff.
90's and early 2000's had loads of Star Wars video games and more toys.
Are you from a non-Disney+ country like me too? (Scandinavi?)
For me that a good reason for why they choose YouTube over D+
3 months is a long time and kids can't buy VPN for themselfs
It's a game show for kids. Relax.
Just by the trailer I'd argue this is going to be higher quality than some of their other reality show competitions they have on the service.
D+ is a service aimed at families and kids. They could put it on both.
I am kinda surprised at how physical and dangerous some of the challenges look. There are some opportunities for the kids to really eat shit, and they don't have much in the way of protective gear.
I wonder what they mean by saying that the contestants may be "tempted by the dark side"? Will there be an opportunity for players to betray their partner? I'd love to see a kid go full-villain.

This is basically Legends of the Hidden Temple + Crystal Maze + Star Wars and I'm down. I don't necessarily go crazy for SW but I love goofy themed gameshows with physical challenges where people race against one another. I'll definitely check out an episode or two.
Same here. He deserves this. Honestly, I'm just amazed he doesn't fucking hate the franchise, after what the adult "fanbase" did to him.
lol.Season finale is going to be wild
glad that Best has a paid gig.
Lol this is pretty cynical.
I do find it weird it's not a D+ thing
The main creative behind it, Scott Bromley, watched a ton of UK shows in his planning of the show so it didn't feel like an exact copy of Legends of the Hidden Temple. He talked about it on "The Comedy Button" a couple months ago. This show is his baby as he has always dreamed of doing a kids game show built on physical challenges.
Maybe, but they could easily just post commercials for D+ in the cartoons that already have on the youtube channel. You don't need to sacrifice original, exclusive content just for marketing.
I guess they want to bump up the profile of the youtube channel, but to what end?
I didn't even know that! That's freakin' awesome! I'm really hoping the younger audiences enjoy it, because judging by the trailer he's really nailed the feel of those shows I grew up with as a kid.
(Raven and Jungle Run immediately leap to mind)
I remember my brother bringing home, from the mall, a new Kenner Chewbacca action figure. My mind was blown that new Star Wars toys were being made. I quickly amassed a collection.
It's better today. The kids have all the stuff we grew up with plus so much new material including multiple TV Shows. And the cultural acceptance of Star Wars is at all time high. Classmates absolutely rolled their eyes at me back in 95.
