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."

    C'mon George, give it a rest. You've made millions with merchandising, thte prequels suck, it's time to call it a day.

    Why doesn't Lucas just give up on producing all this crap and instead focus on lobbying congress to levy a tax to go directly to him. That way he can get his money and we don't have to see his crap or him in the media anymore.

    "You know the topic is STARWARS when all the trolling is rated "informative" or "insigthful"..."

    Or Enterprise.

    Frankly, I think Episode III will suck. However, if there are fans really aching to see it, I wouldn't dream of demanding that it be cancelled. I don't have to go to the theater, but the fans have no choice if it's cancelled. (Same goes for Enterprise.)

    The stupid thing is, if I went on a rant about Farscape, legitimate or not, I'd be modded troll. The problem with randomy giving people mod points is that they're influenced by popular opinion. Don't you dare bash Farscape, FireFox, or Google.
