Lucas: live action Star Wars TV series

[docm]

Link....<br /><br /><blockquote><font class="small">In reply to:</font><hr /><p><b>George Lucas planning 'Star Wars' TV series</b><br /><br />Attention, TV executives: The Force may soon be with you.<br /><br />Filmmaker George Lucas said Tuesday that he has "just begun work" on a live-action television series rooted in the "Star Wars" universe, which is huge news not just for fans of the science-fiction epic but also for networks looking for a piece of the Lucas magic that has grossed $4.3 billion in theaters worldwide.<br /><br />There is a caveat, though: The proposed series doesn't have anyone named Luke or Anakin in it, a story path that Lucas concedes is "taking chances" as far as connecting with an audience expecting the familiar mythology.<br /><br />"The Skywalkers aren't in it, and it's about minor characters," Lucas said in an interview. "It has nothing to do with Luke Skywalker or Darth Vader or any of those people. It's completely different. But it's a good idea, and it's going to be a lot of fun to do."<br /><br />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."<br /><br />Lucas already has another television series percolating: Lucas Animation has been working for months on "Star Wars: The Clone Wars," a computer-animated series that he hopes will introduce a new era of visuals to weekly episodic television. Lucas plans to produce it through his own companies before shopping the finished product to networks.<br /><br />That model may also be used for the live-action show, although producer Rick McCallum said Tuesday th</p></blockquote> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

Two words for a successful show: No Ewoks! <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p><em>So, again we are defeated. This victory belongs to the farmers, not us.</em></p><p><strong>-Kambei Shimada from the movie Seven Samurai</strong></p> </div>

Quintuply so for Jar Jar Binks. Die, Jar Jar, Die! <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><em>Differential Diagnosis:  </em>"<strong><em>I am both amused and annoyed that you think I should be less stubborn than you are</em></strong>."<br /> </p> </div>

meesah thinkin, Jar Jar Binks is one of the lamest characters in Sci-Fi history. (I'll bet he tastes like chicken) Right up there with the Penisaurus from Flesh Gordon.

 

[PistolPete]

Well, seeing as how Flesh Gordon was a porno, the Penisaurus was actually more central to the plotline than Jar Jar was. <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p><em>So, again we are defeated.

I really hope that they pull this off well. It could be such a great show. I think that they should limit the Jedi in it however too much power makes for a show that cant grow.<br /><br />Maybee make it like Dragon Ball Z, where in the first episodes they were "weak" then by the end of the series they could hurl planets at one another <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" />

Hey! How about a show about the Jedi Academy! We can get someone to play Captain Kirk as a young...<br /><br />Oops. Sorry. Channeling the wrong thread. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><em>Differential Diagnosis:  </em>"<strong><em>I am both amused and annoyed that you think I should be less stubborn than you are</em></strong>."<br /> </p> </div>

The Penisaurus was a lot less offensive than Jar Jar was. A better actor too may I add.<br /><br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>-----------------------------------------------------</p><p><font color="#ff0000">Ask not what your Forum Software can do do on you,</font></p><p><font color="#ff0000">Ask it to, please for the love of all that's Holy, <strong>STOP</strong> !</font></p> </div>

Have you all no comic sense of relief? That is what Jar Jar was.

How about a remake of Star Wars, Country Style?<br /><br /><font color="orange">My name is Luke Skywalker. I was born in a faraway galaxy on the lonely desert planet of Tattoine. I am a orphan on account of Darth Vader killed my pappy, and I never did know my momma.<br /><br />When I got to be about 18 my friends all left and went to the Academy. I wanted to go to the Academy, too, but we wuz poor and I had to stay at home and help my aunt and uncle raise moisture crops.<br /><br />Ben Kenobi was going to teach me to be a Jedi. Then Vader killed him, too.<br /><br />Later on I went to Jedi school. Master Yoda tried to teach me the ways of the Jedi, but then my friends got mixed up in some trouble and I had to drop out. I tried going back but Master Yoda he up and died, too.<br /><br />I was in love with a woman oncet, a princess, but she was in love with my best friend. Also, we figured out she was my sister.<br /><br />One day my dead daddy showed up agin. He had some big scheme for ruling the universe. He wanted me to kill some guy. When I wouldn't go along with it he tried to kill me. Lucky all he did was chop off this here hand.<br /><br />I finally had to give daddy the "come to Jesus" talk. After he got right with God we teamed up and opened a can of whoop ass on the emperor.<br /><br />THE END</font>/safety_wrapper> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><em>Differential Diagnosis:  </em>"<strong><em>I am both amused and annoyed that you think I should be less stubborn than you are</em></strong>."<br /> </p> </div>
