Star Wars TV series

captmiloman · September 27th, 2005, 01:26 PM

Lucasfilm has announced that writing for the planned live action TV series will begin in January at Skywalker Ranch. I wonder how much will be charged for a 30 or 60 second commercial spot when the series premieres? Personally I'd like to see FX picking it up. Hopefully Lucas & Co. don't drop the ball this time around.

I hope FX doesn't pick it up. I don't get FX.

I just hope it isn't target-marketed mainly to children... but I guess, that will be the case...

I tend to be optimistic. I think that the series, if handled correctly, will be able to explore many aspects of the Star Wars universe that fans have been curious about. If the writing is high quality, I think it will be worth watching.

Zynn · October 6th, 2005, 09:04 AM

I agree...

I shall change my wording to the following:

I look forward to seeing how Lucas & Co. plan on keeping the interest of the young fans as well as not forsaking the older, long-time loyal fans...

I hope its during Lukes Skywalkers time .. but that just me

Zynn · October 6th, 2005, 09:23 AM

Yeah, I am partial to eps 4-6 as well...

gmd3d · October 6th, 2005, 09:30 AM

I think to complete the story saga so to speck . would be to pick up after ROTJ and see the Jedi's rebirth and Lukes have to rediscover and relearn so much. It's excepted that Ford and Fisher would possible wil wish not to take part but Hamil possible??

Zynn · October 6th, 2005, 09:48 AM

I believe, once upon a time, there were supposed to be eps 7-9, then Lucas changed his mind, changed it back, then again changed it opting for the series instead...

I agree. I think the period following the fall of the Empire would be an interesting one to explore.

It will be cool to see what they do, looking forward to it.

I think the success of this show will based on the timeframe it's based on. But I also agree that it should be based after the "fall of the Empire".

I believe Lucas has stated already that the series will take place between Eps 3 and 4. He also claims it will be grittier than the movies. What that means exactly is anyone's guess.

I'm just saying, Chewie better be a featured character.

captmiloman · November 14th, 2005, 10:02 PM

Lucas has also mentioned that the series will focus on minor characters as well as a few Expanded Universe characters. A young Mara Jade, perhaps?

Charybdis · November 15th, 2005, 06:28 AM

I actually think that Chewie might be a good character to develop for a series. Kashyyyk gets overrun by the Imperials. They have jedi friends to speak english with and move the story along. We also can see other villainous types along the way with an emerging Boba Fett and eventually, it dovetails into A New Hope with an actor who looks just like Harrison Ford playing a young Han Solo...

TopGun · November 29th, 2005, 09:06 AM

Mara Jade would be cool

kakota · December 10th, 2005, 06:28 AM

young HAN SOLO adventures!!!

AJMarks · December 11th, 2005, 07:29 PM

I would have liked to have see the Yoda adventures. See Yoda when he was a young Jedi and what type of adventures he would have had.

TopGun · December 15th, 2005, 02:42 PM

The speech patten would get annoying week-in-week-out

FlSgtKaro · January 1st, 2006, 05:46 PM

Um...Yoda's speech on a weekly basis? I don't know about that one.
Something with Chewie sounds cool!

Maybe a young Boba Fett?

TopGun · January 17th, 2006, 04:38 AM

I'm pretty thatis what it will be about, a young Boba Fett, with the kid who played the young Boba Fett (now 18/19) in ATOC playing him again

duende · January 26th, 2006, 05:09 PM

I'm curious to see what kind of life they can give it with the timeline of tv production. I'll give it a fair shot, but fear they may run it into the ground because of the potential scope of the project.

Have we learned anything about this show yet? Is there enough information worth doing a Google search over?

Will it be traditional space opera proving Moore wrong or will Lucas jump on the Dark and Gritty band wagon?

TopGun · January 28th, 2006, 09:23 AM

I think it's just rumors and hearsay atm

captmiloman · February 15th, 2006, 10:35 AM

Lucas made the announcement himself during an appearence at last year's Star Wars Celebration 3. Last I heard Lucasfilm was looking for writers and the initial writing phase would begin in January. Lucas would serve as the showrunner.

section33 · February 15th, 2006, 03:07 PM

i think ythis could be quite cool
