Australian newspaper The Daily Telegraph caught up with "Star Wars" creator George Lucas and producer Rick McCallum and asked about the upcoming TV series. Lucas confirmed that the tie-in series will be made in Sydney. He praised the city, where Episodes I and II of the franchise were filmed. "I am looking forward to coming back and working there some more," he said.
The live action show, consisting of 100 hour-long episodes, will be based on minor characters in the "Star Wars" series. "It's a spin-off, it doesn't involve any of the key characters. It's a different world unto itself between episodes three ['Revenge of the Sith'] and four ['A New Hope']."
McCallum confirmed the series was "definite as definite can be," although they will still have to work out the timing. "It's a definite that we do it - the rest we haven't discussed on any level."
He added that "George is thinking maybe we can do a series somewhere between Episode III and IV because that's the longest break [in the film series], 20 years. The Death Star takes 20 years to build, so we need to work that out."
McCallum says the series would use Sydney actors, directors and crew. Lucasfilm is also planning a separate 3D half-hour version of the "Clone Wars" animated series that have aired on Cartoon Network.

Hmm this time period between 2 of the movies is the least interesting for me..I'd rather it be way before the movies, or after Ep. 6.. Watching something knowing what will happen in the world(if it was way before it wouldn't be like that..would be more like watching ancient history which I find interesting) in the middle of a story won't be that interesting to me.

The best part is that the FX should be top notch. Lucas probably doesn't give a shit how much each episode costs.
I'm really looking forward to this!

I would rather have 5 of 20. Too many episodes, and the writing will most likely suffer. I would prefer Kevin Smith not direct any of the episodes, and I'm actually a fan. Stick him to the writing.

Australia's Sunday Herald Sun is reporting that Matt Newton is being eyed for a role in Lucasfilm's new live-action "Star Wars" TV series that will span 100 episodes.
The newspaper says Newton was originally Lucas' second choice to play Anakin Skywalker in the three prequels, but Lucas settled on Hayden Christensen for the role.
Lucasfilm has apparently done an "availability check" on Newton for the planned spin-off TV series to be filmed in Sydney. Newton is the son of legendary Australian TV entertainer Bert "Moonface" Newton.

Will they have any reason to show anymore fighting with the clones? Is the clone war officially over, how long before the rebellion starts?
