Kor37 9 Posted October 18, 2007 George Lucas Plans 'Star Wars' TV SeriesAP Posted: 2007-10-17 19:46:54 LOS ANGELES (AP) - The Force may soon be coming to a television near you. George Lucas is planning a live-action television series spinoff of the "Star Wars" film franchise. Lucas told The Los Angeles Times he has "just begun work" on the series, which will not include the films' major characters Luke Skywalker or Darth Vader. "The Skywalkers aren't in it, and it's about minor characters," Lucas told the Times on Tuesday. Lucas wouldn't reveal details, but joked that the series would be about "the life of robots." Lucas, 63, already has another television series in the works. Lucasfilm Animation has been working for months on the computer-animated "Star Wars: The Clone Wars." :) :) :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
He Who Shall Not Be Named 2 Posted October 18, 2007 This is old news. Lucas announced the live action show several months ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wishfire 2 Posted October 18, 2007 Several months ago? I could've sworn people were talking about it this time last year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lady Britannia 0 Posted October 18, 2007 They announced a TV series was being planned a long time ago. However, yesterday work actually began on the series. That's what this news story relates to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Theunicornhunter 2 Posted October 18, 2007 I guess he's really a one hit wonder - no series spin off for Howard the Duck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lady Britannia 0 Posted October 19, 2007 If there's a demand for more Star Wars, one can't really blame Lucas for sticking with it. The Star Wars franchise is hugely flexible in terms of what eras can be explored with TV shows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He Who Shall Not Be Named 2 Posted October 20, 2007 I hope it doesn't turn out to be another, "Ewoks." Or worse, the "Star Wars Holiday Special". Actually, one of the Ewok shows had a character who said he was from Earth, or had been to Earth, or something like that. I guess Lucas wasn't paying attention that day.

After all, the E.T. aliens were seen in AotC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GhostofMajorHayes 10 Posted October 21, 2007 Imo, the new SW tv series will be great! I have heard many interesting possibilites about the fate of characters both major and minor from the prequel trilogy being explored here. I look forward to what the series will bring us. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
