I do a website for my program at my university...and my profs weren't too impressed when I put a link on there to Wikipedia for students to use.

It's not reliable stuff.

I wish it'll be showed in the philippines.... and not in cable... coz we don't have one... :cry:

You could always buy the dvds once they come out.

i never said that it was fact, but a fact they expressed interest. Though i think we need to hear this from other articles first

I have searched the web and I have a rumor that the person that will be at the helm of this project, will be Kevin Smith.

Please no oh please no Kevin Smith. Ya can't swear on TV or in Star Wars, so KS already has 2 strikes against him.

I don't want KS either, but who do you think should do the show?

i think Sansweet stated that KS will have nothing to do with the project

wikipedia is normally wrong, i have heard about the TV series i don't think it will be any good because the actors in the films would want to be paid a lot, and TV pays less so they may not accept the over especially Ewan McGregor (obi wan, eps,1,2,and 3). as he will be in other films.

I got this from IESB.com. I never said it was a fact.

when is it supposed to premiere and what channell

Login and ask again in about 24 months from now and we might have a better idea.

I can't say I'm very interested in this at the moment, or that I have any real excitement for it.

Because face it, it's going to be FAR easier for them to majorly **** up and bomb with the TV show than for it to be great.

Therefore I am going to remain skeptical about it. That way if it turns out good, it will be a surprise. If it doesn't, I won't be disappointed with it.

TV Series Update

So where are things at with the two "Star Wars" TV series? Well, there's not a lot of news on either front though things are moving full steam ahead behind the scenes. The CGI animated series is well under way. Lucasfilm's animation studio in Singapore opened in October and has been progressing rapidly. Word is characters have been designed and the look is quite different from the previous "Clone Wars" series. Writing on the show has also been in progress since shortly after "Revenge of the Sith" and is led by Head Writer/Story Editor Henry Gilroy. Though George Lucas isn't writing the series he's heavily involved in the development of the scripts. The show is set between "Episode II" and "III" or what is better known as the "Clone Wars" era. Despite being heavily covered in the comics, books, and cartoon series, expect a few surprises. George Lucas has stated he hopes to see it on the air in 2007.

There was a brief stir recently as mainstream press realized Lucas was also working on a live action series. Despite the fact that it was old news to fans, a few details emerged. There was a very good article in TIME magazine about it. Like the animated series, the live action series has been progressing rapidly and quietly. This past August, Lucas and McCallum were in Sydney discussing shooting it there (Lucas visited the set of Superman Returns in August while there). Amid the flurry of reports on the show, TheForce.Net put together a pretty good recap of what is confirmed about the series:

- The "Star Wars" live action television show will consist of 100 hours ( or 100 1 hour each episodes )
- The "Star Wars" live action television show will be based on secondary characters with possible cameos by some movie characters
- The "Star Wars" live action television show will take place between Episode 3 & 4
- The "Star Wars" live action television show will be done at the pricepoint of 1 million dollars per episode
- The "Star Wars" live action television show will start filming in 2008

What's not confirmed but rumored is that the show will have comic character Quinlan Vos make an appearance. Jedi Master Vos was spared a grisly death in "Revenge of the Sith." Lucas had a scene depicting his death on Kashyyyk storyboarded, but he spared the character at the last minute. (The comics show him escaping the clonetroopers and later having a newborn son while in hiding.) Will he play a prominent role in the TV series or is it a fan's hope? Expect more news to trickle out from Lucasfilm's presentation at the San Diego Comic Con in July.

Edit: And might I suggest making this a sticky thread... that way any new news on the show could be posted all in one place. 🙂

Nice work. But you should probably have posted in a thread that's already focusing on this subject.

Wow, 2008. Looks like we've got a ways to go. Oh well, I'd rather they take their time with it and have everything nicely planned out so the series is good.

How come everyoen keeps saying vader will be in it? When i went to wonder-con and the GL's boys talked abotu the show they said NO ONE FROM THE PREVIOSU MOVIES WILL BE IN IT. They may appear in the backround as a little hologram thats maybe 3 inches tall or omething, but THATS ABOUT IT.
