George Lucas announced that he has begun working on a live-action television series rooted smack dab in the Star Wars universe. From the LA Times:
“The Skywalkers aren’t in it, and it’s about minor characters,” Lucas said in an interview with Times’ reporter Geoff Boucher. “It has nothing to do with Luke Skywalker or Darth Vader or any of those people. It’s completely different. But it’s a good idea, and it’s going to be a lot of fun to do.”
I’m glad that it wont have any of the main Star Wars characters in it. The thing I like the most about Star Wars aren’t the main characters, but the many minor characters that help make up the Star Wars Universe. I don’t think I’m alone either.

/ October 17, 2007I agree. Sounds like the project is shaping up to be an all-out nerd service fest. I hope Walrus Man is in it.

/ October 17, 2007I hope there are long story arcs featuring IG-88 and the Mos Eisley bartender. Those guys were awesome.

/ October 18, 2007I hope it’s not boring and pointless and crammed full of shitty CGI. In other words, I hope Lucas lets someone else write most of it.

/ October 18, 2007George’s real gift is with the look and the feel of his creations. Where he sucks is with the dialogue. Remember the end of Episode III when Darth Vader is told that Padme is dead? Nooooooooooooooooooo!!! That was so George Lucus.
