Star Wars To Air As Animated Sitcom

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the you-could-make-this-stuff-up dept.

The Bastard writes "As if the Star Wars Holiday Special and Jar-Jar weren't insulting enough to fans, George Lucas has decided to turn the franchise into an animated sitcom. I have a bad feeling about this." The article says that Seth Green is involved, which either sets off your late April Fool's Day alarm, immeasurable dread, or excitement.

  1. Robot Chicken vs Clone Wars? by lorg · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Concidering we already have Star Wars - the Clone Wars do we really need another one? I doubt a "playful and irreverent tone" is what the fans want. I don't really want Yoda to start cracking wise about force.

    As much as I think Seth is funny I do hope it won't be Robot Chicken - Star Wars episodes on steroids. Those little bits are very hit and miss and once a season is quite enough.

    Where are the Grand Admiral Thrawns and Admiral Daalas?

    More importantly, where is Mara Jade in a skimpy kick-ass undercover dancer's uniform? Don't get me wrong, Leia looked good in gold, but you just can't beat the idea of a piss-and-vinegar redhead in similar attire.

    For that matter, let's throw Admiral Daala into that skimpy dancer's uniform mix too. Just for good measure.
