Lucas Confirms Star Wars spin-off TV series

Posted by timothy on from the more-characters-more-figurines-and-lunchboxes dept.

Mictian writes "In a rare public appearance at the Star Wars Celebration III (his previous fan event appearance was in 1987), George Lucas confirmed that he's working on two TV series. One will be a full 3D animation series (with 30-minute episodes) of the recent Cartoon Network Clone Wars shorts, and the other a live-action series, that will be set in the time between Episodes III and IV, but won't feature the main characters. Production is expected to begin in about a year."

  1. A decent replacement to Star Trek by sbsheetz · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Let's face it. The fire has gone out in the Star Trek universe. The TV series have seriously declined in quality, and the Nemesis destroyed the movie line. A Star Wars series would be a welcome replacement.

    Strange, I remember hearing that cry directed toward another George, with a "W", and were suddenly ignored.
