New on the Live-Action Star Wars Show

Apparently, casting has begun for the live-action Star Wars TV series. Personally, I think the Clone Wars animated show is complete shit and I'm glad to hear that they're working on something that sounds halfway decent.

In case you're too lazy to click, here's part of the article:

"Set between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope, the show has been described by Lucas as “Deadwood meets The Sopranos in space”. Told from the perspective of minor characters from the Star Wars galaxy (rumored to be a family in the underworld), the darker, grittier, more character-based story might also feature appearances and cameos from several major Star Wars characters, but not the heavy like Darth Vader.And now that the show has entered the casting stage, I’m sure we’ll start to learn more about the story and the characters."

I'm not sure if I am feeling glad. The Clone Wars didn't give me a lot of confidence in this series.

...what's deadwood about? i dunno that show...

I feel both apprehensive and excited about this... hm. it certainly sounds interesting, like its not going to be too kiddie for a change...

swearing, drinking, whores and violence, gotta love it 😛

darker and grittier... than what? The Clone Wars? That's not encouraging because it couldn't be more retarded than that.

Though I DO hope to see Vader around! I DO hope to see senator Organa! I DO hope to see Chewbacca or Han Solo.
But I DO hope they stick to the cameo's and appearances and do not take over the show like Anakin & Obi-Wan in The Clone Wars. Why do I want them in it? Because it's star wars and they should at least give some foothold in the star wars universe because I don't expect to see many (if any) lightsabre or use of the force. If you include Vader in one or two episodes it would give him more presence and power and it would give the show something extra

I don't want any movie characters in this series. Let them come up with something original...

something original? For some reason I'm doubting you ever saw a Clone Wars episode 😉

Yeah, I dont like the looks of this at all.

In defense of the show, we actually know very little about it.

And that's because it isn't KOTOR, Nactous.

I did, hence my post.

thus you should know by now they won't come up with something original or if, once in a blue moon, they do they'll professional screw it up in such a way pornstars would become jealous!

That's my fear. And I hate them ruining SW by creating a larger abundance of crap...

and to think they would solve this mess by simply casting me ...

Has Lucas ever inspired confidence in anything? Yet fandom endures.

In any case, the Clone Wars cartoon will be create for recruiting a whole new generation of fans.

Well... yes. He did in 1977, he did in 1980... a little less in 1983. Even the touch ups on the trilogy in the 90s were nice. And he did again instill some confidence with ROTS.... But that took two movies to get going... and now it's back to mediocre crap.

Perhaps things will improve?

I like how fans of Star Wars HATE the creator of the saga they love so much. Interesting dynamic...
