Starwars TV series

There's been alot of talk about a Starwars TV series. Any comments?

I'm actually looking forward to it. Means there's a possibility that I could actually appear as a Star Wars character somewhere down the line :) Even a little extra or alien :)

George, if you're listening....

Here's hoping that they accept spec scripts for the series, if it is actually made. I could come up with some great Star Wars stories... :)

I know the first season is specifically gonna be created by George and a small team, but after that, he's letting them do what they wish, within reason, a bit like with Clone Wars, he gave them some details, but apart from that, they went and did their own thing.

will they be jedi stories

The idea could be scary. They will either do two things to the Star Wars universe. One - they will totally mess up the concepts with bad stories, or they will strengthen its mystic with well written stories and characters. However, we have seen that even in the movies that they can introduce the most annoying characters and still manage to keep the series going. TV is a different medium and sometimes it just doesn't translate very well from the big screen to the small. I definitely will be watching.

Nah, it's between 3-4 and it will not be about Jedi's nor Luke, Leia, Obi-Wan or Han, it'll be different characters, different settings, but hopefully some GOOD storylines. Though of course to boost ratings (like Smallville) they'll find someway to get Han or Luke in there somewhere...

Well, since there's no more Star Trek, at least for a while, I need something else to watch. Bring it on.

I'm hoping if they do a series between 3-4. That they would show some of leia growing up and what life was like on Alderaan, and the formation of the rebellion. As well as show some of the other characters, that where a major part of the rebellon, and the events surronding them joining the rebellon.

What kind of budget is this show going to have, though? With the movies the sky seems to be the limit where effects are concerned, but with a TV show it's a different story. I'm having difficulty picturing Star Wars on a Star Trek budget, particularly since so much of the prequels was done with super-expensive CGI.

Actually, George Lucas set his films a set budget, therefore the special effects had to fit that budget. ILM had to change how they priced things as well which means other films can do that. So I guess the TV show would get ILM doing their stuff...

A Star Wars TV show
 

Yes there are going to be 2 Star Wars TV shows. George revealed it at the Celebration III. I was there personally at the show he announced it. One will be live action time period unknown. But would like to have it take place between Episodes III & IV. There will be no major characters involved. It'll be side characters. But we will know the major characters will be there.

The second one will be a 3D animation series based on or the continuation of The Clone Wars TV cartoon shorts.

It was also announced that there is a Willow TV series in the works. Warrick Davis wanted it and got it.

Please don't let George write or direct this series. He totally screwed up the prequels, he should write plot outlines and let someone else write the actual scripts & direct.

A good writer/director combination - Joe Straczynski & Jesus Trevino.

Yeah,

The Movies 4, 5, and 6 were the best.

1, 2, and 3 seemed to have too many FX and no story.

Kevin Smith is supposed to be involved in the TV series so we could end up watching an 18 rated series with a bunch of swearing, potty-mouthed jedi knights.

and what's so wro wrong with Qui Gon Silent Bob or Darth Jay ?

Where did you hear Kevin Smith is supposed to be involved?

On the Dark Horizons website (www.darkhorizons.com): "IESB reports that Kevin Smith's involvement in the upcoming "Star Wars" live-action TV series will be in the writing and directing at least a three episode story arc."

No offense, but if it's not on starwars.com it's probably not true.. TFN and those types of websites are not always truthful. IESB?

Pardon my ignorance, but assuming that I'm not a seasoned forum user, could you please explain what you mean by TFN and IESB?
And I've found the Dark Horizons website to be pretty reliable up till now.

TFN is TheForce.net

And I was asking what IESB was.

Sorry - www.iesb.net.

===))

?????

I want to see early what kind of thing is sufficient as.：-）

tough to bring to the small screen I would think, but hey, the cartoon series was entertaining.

I feel like I have waited most of my life for a star wars series, I only hope it can hold up to the anticipation.

sorry
 

Sorry, really I am, but both the Star Wars TV series are going to suck. You know it, and I know it. We can hope, we can dream, but the reality is that Lucas lost his mind and is running a great thing into the earth. IMHO, of course. :(

So, tell us how you really feel....

Personally, I'm excited about this. I hope Lucas is able to bring it to TV. :D
