There is going to be a live action Star Wars television series, according to this article: http://www.fanboy.com/2009/07/star-wars-tv-series.html

I don't know who is in charge, but I will give it a shot if/when it airs.

    Who really gives a shit?

    I don't think that anyone who actually cares about the franchise has a reason to be optimistic about the quality of the show. Simultaneously, anyone who isn't a fanboy doesn't have a recent movie to remind them why they would want to to watch it.

    yeah, Lucas didn't like Tartakovsky's shorts apparently and so he had that show made

    to be honest, I didn't see much of it, but I didn't really like what I saw

    I've been using the phrases "aped" and "raw deal" a lot lately

    not necessarily on the forums

    Those shorts were fucking awesome and George Lucas wouldn't know awesome if it fucked him in the eye.

    the cgi movie was butt, but a lot of the episodes are pretty cool, and actually gritty

    dudes getting shot in the face and cut in half and shit

    also, a lot of the jedi masters are involved and do things other than sit around

    Mace Windu was so awesome in that one where he basically destroys an entire droid army and a big old planet-stomper thing

    I heard about this on G4 so I know its true. They even had a quote by Lucas. He said its going to be like the Sopranos and Deadwood but in space. Right...

    I...What? That's fucking retarded.

    Maybe it'll focus on the criminal underworld of Star Wars. That's the only way I could see it begin to make sense.


    Edit: Lucas should just stay away from developing Star Wars shows, and leave it to people who understand the lore behind it.


    I mean, it took a small army of people to clean up his original idea for the original three movies to make them presentable, if I recall. The guy just doesn't do good work when he's in control.
