Star Wars Television Series Moving Forward

Posted by Zonk on from the seems-like-it-started-a-long-time-ago dept.

merg717 writes "George Lucas has confirmed that work has begun on a live-action Star Wars television series. This is the companion piece to the Clone Wars animated series, focusing on entirely new characters outside of the frame of the six movies. 'Lucas joked that the series would be about "the life of robots" but wouldn't let any details slip about the true premise. The "extended universe" of "Star Wars" has come to life already in Lucas-sanctioned novels, comics and games that chronicle the history of the Jedi and tell the tales of bit players in the films, such as the bounty hunters from "The Empire Strikes Back."'"

    Lucas is pretty much denying that The Christmas Special even existed. But we, the fans of Star Wars, never forget.
    No matter how much therapy we get, we will never forget. Once it has been seen, it can not be unseen...
