I'd rather see an anthology series that might tackle some of the lesser known characters in Star Wars, or feature stories about new characters or characters mentioned in passing but never seen. And each episode could be directed by a different director, but you could get a ton of people working on it over the course of the series. Maybe some story arcs could be expanded over a few episodes, but I wish they would go with the anthology idea.

Actually, Georgie, it fits in this box...

Just give me another Ewok movie.

"Star Wars: The Chronicles of Jar-Jar"

We need a prequel Christmas show. Replace the wookies with gungans.

I am still waiting for George to do that small independent movies he told us he was going to focus on after Episode III.

This shows why the PT sucks, because SW is a cash cow now, plain & simple, and Lucas is ruining this franchise to fund Skywalker Ranch. I never begrudge a man that wants to make more money, but the reason this stuff stinks in SW-ville anymore, cause Lucas's heart is not in it, he is just looking at $$$$$.

Does anyone really care about what happens between Episode III & IV other then real SW dweebs who read all the EU books? George, how about showing something we don't what will happen in the end like something after Episode VI! I am diehard SW fan, but this TV show does zero for me, and I am starting to believe that SW is losing its mythology and George should have ended it in 1983 with Greedo Shooting First, and Shaw as that Force Ghost.

The last trilogy (I,II,III) was filmed with digital camera. Was that in DVD or HD-DVD resolution?

The DVDs have great resolution and look fine. Is DVD their final stage?

Episode I was not. Just II & III.

Well, if you want to get really picky, one scene in Episode I was.

Let's hope Lucas has nothing to do with the writing. He came up with a great concept, but writing and plot development is NOT his forte. Hand it over to someone like Joss Whedon - I'd LOVE to see what Whedon could do with it.

I had a dream last night that I was watching a live-action Star Wars TV show..I woke up and remembered that years ago there were threads on here(this is the one I found, I think there were others) about it actually happening. I'm assuming it is never going to happen?

Re: George Lucas: 'Star Wars' Series Not Far, Far Away
 

Apparently you missed the news. It's premiering Oct 2012 on FOX.

Re: George Lucas: 'Star Wars' Series Not Far, Far Away
 

Basically this has none of the characters you loveed growing up its about irrelevant shitheads that aren't worth your time. Enjoy!

Why must George Lucas continue to rape my childhood!?

Re: George Lucas: 'Star Wars' Series Not Far, Far Away
 

So it's the prequels?

I Google searched and found nothing confirming this for 2012.

Re: George Lucas: 'Star Wars' Series Not Far, Far Away
 

Hmm, guess I did miss the news?

Re: George Lucas: 'Star Wars' Series Not Far, Far Away
 

The show has not been officially picked up by any network yet and I highly doubt that if this actually does materialize that it will be on cable. There is no way a broadcast business model can sustain such a television show. Look at "Terra Nova"

Re: George Lucas: 'Star Wars' Series Not Far, Far Away
 

It would be really awesome if HBO tackled a space-themed sci-fi show and none better universe than Star Wars.

Re: George Lucas: 'Star Wars' Series Not Far, Far Away
 

yeah, there had to be another thread because I remember posting (and getting flamed) in it. :lol:

This ...

NETFLIX LANDS STAR WARS SERIES
Los Gatos, CA, December 13, 2011 -- Prepare to get your Wookie on! Today Netflix CEO Reed Hastings made a major announcement: Netflix will be the new home of the Star Wars galaxy. "We are pleased to announce a 4-year exclusive deal for George Lucas' long-rumored "Star Wars" TV series. This partnership will allow us to boldly take streaming where no man has gone before!"

Financial details of the deal were not disclosed, but Netflix stakeholders are hoping this move will help restore customers' confidence in the embattled online video store. Inside sources (Bothan spies?) report the deal is an "open-ended" production deal that will allow George Lucas to "revisit" episodes every few years to keep the story fresh. "This is our chance to revisit the franchise as a true weekly serial -- the way I originally envisioned it," said Star Wars creator George Lucas. Lucas declined comment on speculation that the first several episodes would be "rebooted" versions of the movies. "We will see some of our favorite characters in earlier years of their lives ... can you imagine what the Sarlaac was like as a child?"

This is possibly the biggest announcement of Netflix's recent original programming deals which include House of Cards, Arrested Development, and an adult-oriented anime series based on the Peter Benchley classic novel "Jaws."

Well thank goodness for the spoiler because I was about to comment on using "where no man has gone before" attached to anything related to Star Wars.

Re: George Lucas: 'Star Wars' Series Not Far, Far Away
 

OMG! I hope they don't raise the price of the monthly sub because of this.

;)

Re: George Lucas: 'Star Wars' Series Not Far, Far Away
 

I thought that would be enough ... but then you never know.
