Star Wars TV Show

The lunatick writes "IESB and Theforce.net report a Star Wars TV show. Lucas will not direct it just produce it. Kevin Smith (Silent Bob, the clerks series) is named as a possible director."

    Maybe because it's an old dupe, Luke!

    Actually, it wasn't a plant, it was an animal called a Ysalmari (sp) that created an anti-Force bubble that was hardly big at all. The problem was when large amounts of Ysalmari were grouped together, then their collective bubbles formed a giantic anti-Force area.

    Some Star Wars fanboy you were.

    They had it on their front page yesterday but pulled it or something and I can find no reference to the story today. They are tied very closely to Lucasfilm so it makes me wonder...

    For future reference, you may like to know that the little pink mooninite you quoted is called Irr and the larger green one is called Ignignokt.

    Kevin would have to be a moron to do it. No matter how good the tv series is it will be slammed as not as good as the original. Expecially if you expect 3-5 seasons worth of good stuff. There is no pleasing the star wars fans.

    In case you don't know, TV series are never directed by a single director. They hire a director with a lot of style to do the pilot, and he sets the tone for the rest of the series. Following that, there might be some directors that direct a lot of episodes, and by a lot, I mean a couple per season. But each episode has a different director.

    So, first of all, I'm not sure what the original posting meant by 'Kevin Smith...is named as a possible director,' except that he may direct an episode or two, which really wouldn't be that big a deal.

    It's "Err", not "Irr".

    The quote is so famous that there are several versions of it going around, but i believe the usual one given (and funnier) is:

    You can write this shit, George, but you sure can't say it.

    Also fits the Han Solo character quite well ;)
