They would never get James Earl Jones, he's too expensive.....
Owen, Beru and young Luke? God, not another kid actor....
There were Boba Fett rumors some time ago.
I don't know if I like this: how will they keep a level of quality?
And how expensive would a TV series be?
Maybe it will be a mini-series......
And why not animation?
agree on james earl, but who knows....maybe he needs the work....boba fett and bounty hunters definite possibility (plus mask solves casting problems)....
this is why i'm thinking military (tarkin, stormtroopers etc) or bounty hunters, or a combination of both....each week you just send the characters on a new mission....quality would probably be like the young indiana jones series (not that i ever watched it)....lucas said once he used young indy to pay for effects development, because the network pays you to make it and then gets the money back through advertising so money shouldn't be a problem....if no one watched it, it would die after one series though....they've already done animation i guess, something different?.....
think it's 100% real from the looks....i don't know what i think until i see....
i'm not surprised he's doing it though....after ep III star wars will be dead...this will keep toys in the stores and fans on the net....things to put in official magazines....he doesn't even have to do it himself....(obscure non-commercial films - c'mon lucas do it, show us what you're really made of with a new idea).....wishful thinking enough for ya?.....
I have a hard time believing that a TV series based around the bad guys hunting down and defeating the good guys each week would be very popular.
Now, if they show a constant struggle between the Empire and the Rebellion each week, and you don't quite know who's going to win each week, maybe that would work.
george lucas said last night on tv during an interview that once he is done with starwars he is going to have nothing to do with it maybe the tv thing is rick macallum idea and I heard that it would be of the old republic.Thats what I heard I do know GL is going to make more young indy chronicles for release on dvd for now may force be with you.
