New Star Wars TV Series Confirmed

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the i-hope-you-like-sandscapes dept.

merauder writes to tell us BBC News is reporting that the new Star Wars TV series is set to run at least 100 episodes. From the article: "The series will be set between episodes three and four of the film saga. It would cover the 20 years in the life of Luke Skywalker growing up that remains a mystery to most film-goers. McCallum said there would be 'a whole bunch of new characters' and the series would be 'much more dramatic and darker.'"

    Would a slashdot subscriber please look into the "mysterious future" to make sure that this won't get rolled back like Futurama?

    Ah well, I never watched Star Trek anyway.

    I'm not going to watch it, unless Han shoots a new bounty hunter (first) at the opening of every single episode.

    Only that will atone for Lucas's past sins.

      Only if by "New" you mean an infant he suspects might one day become a bounty hunter in addition to it being a different infant every week. In fact, I won't watch unless that is the plot for the entire series. They can call it "Star Wars: Han Solo Baby Bounty Hunter Hunter Chronicles".

    Didn't you know that Obi Wan's lightsaber also acts as one of those doohickeys from Men in Black and can erase memories.
