Star Wars TV Show

[The Metamorphosing Leon]

Star Wars series to run and run

George Lucas has been working on the fourth Indiana Jones
The TV series spin-off of the Stars Wars film franchise will run to at least 100 episodes, according to producer Rick McCallum.
He told BBC Radio 1 the writing team would soon be meeting to start on the project, which would begin filming in 2008 and be ready the same year.

"Hopefully if we can make it work and everybody's excited and watches it we will keep on going," said McCallum.

The series will be set between episodes three and four of the film saga.

It would cover the 20 years in the life of Luke Skywalker growing up that remains a mystery to most film-goers.

McCallum said there would be "a whole bunch of new characters" and the series would be "much more dramatic and darker".

I really just can't can't see this being any good. But I guess it'll be watched.

I am a sucker for Star Wars so I will watch it.

[The Metamorphosing Leon]

I know, same here, that's why it's brilliant. Millions will watch no matter what it is as long as it's The Star Wars show.

20 years in the life of a moisture farmer on a backwater planet, no pun intended.

actually they said the series will start off with the bounty hunters and go from there, maybe we'll see some of Fett's childhood instead.

I think they should just make it a crappy run of the mill sitcom with the occasional Yoda and Droid.

A Star wars TV show? that could be intresting they can go in a number of ways about it. They can do the old Jedi Order before Yoda and the Skywalkers. Or they can go with th eNew Jedi Order the Luke Skywalker starts after the original triology.

More dramatic = more talking and bad acting and less action.
