Star Wars....The TV Show??
 

Producer-director George Lucas plans more "Star Wars" projects beyond "Star Wars: Episode III -- Revenge of the Sith," Daily Variety said Tuesday.

The paper said Lucas told a weekend fan convention in Indianapolis his production company, Lucasfilm, will continue the "Star Wars" series with two TV shows.

He said plans call for a 3-D animated half-hour that carries on the storyline from the "Clone Wars" miniseries that Lucasfilm did for Cartoon Network. He also said his company is working on a live-action series featuring some supporting characters from the "Star Wars" movies.

"We're probably not going to start that for about a year," he said. "Like on 'The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles,' we want to write all the stories for the entire first season all at once."

Lucas said he would probably step away from the series after hiring producers and staff and getting the series under way. Variety said both series would be set in the years between the end of "Revenge of the Sith" and the beginning of the original 1977 "Star Wars" movie, which Lucas titled "Episode IV -- A New Hope."

I hope it's better than that Christmas special they did back in the 70s...

lol

I'm waiting for Star Wars: The Musical

Or better yet, Star Wars on Ice

I am waiting for "Chewie", a talk show hosted by and for wookies.

Happy Life Day!

Yeah, Lucas pretty much burned the holiday special. It's never been released on video or DVD, yet the Ewoks movie has. How low is that?

I'm cautiously optimistic. Young Indiana Jones was a tremendously underrated series. I think it was too cinematic for TV; it never could generate the ratings that it's budget justified.

They already had that, it was call The Rosie O'Donnell Show.

Hey, there's hope for the TV series!

I liked the Ewok movies. :( I also liked the Young Indiana Jones series and can't wait for it to arrive on DVD.

Is it coming to DVD? I was looking for that today...

George Lucas confirmed at Celebration III that The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles is in production for DVD release either late 2005 or in 2006.

If only he'd done that for episodes I & II. :(

Star Wars: The Breakfast Cereal?

You're telling me. He can't direct.

I liked the Young Indiana Jones series, too. Just another in the long line of "things that should still be on tv today considering all the crap that's out there".

SI

Dude, that cereal freaking rocked. I used to eat a box at a time on Saturday mornings.

*rim shot*

lol :D

Thanks, I'll be here all week!

Hopefully this is at least as good as the Holiday Special.

edit: didn't realize that someone else had already mentioned this. I've seen the special. It is unbelievable. There is a 12 minute period with no dialogue aside from Chewbacca's family grunting and signalling to each other.

I need to see this Holiday special, does anyone have it or have a link to where I can find it?

Ebay has lots of bootlegs.

I found a torrent of it. Use one of the torrent search engines like isohunt or torrentspy.

Well this basically means that episode III will introduce a bunch of fringe characters whose only purpose (forget the plot ... that means nothing) is to have us recognize characters when they reintroduce them in the TV series.

This doesn't sound good...

Woot!! The adventures of Lando!

Put Taye Diggs in a cape and I think we're half way there.

Wait - were you assuming Episode III wasn't going to be crap and piss you off?

you didn't think Jimmy Smits took the role of Leia's adoptive father just to have a cameo in the prequels did you?

They're teaming up Dennis Franz with Smits to do SWPD Blue.

I just downloaded and watched this DVD

Its not terrible. A little too much "acting".

Excellent.

I just watched that last night. Pretty good CGI for a fan film, the acting not so much.
