New Star Wars live action TV series

I’ve heard about this awhile back but I never wrote about it until now. Geroge Lucas has been working on a Star Wars live-action tv series that is supposed to launch in 2009 but I won’t hold my breathe. I don’t even know if they have started filming yet, let alone have the cast all picked out.

From what I have read online, the new series is going to take place between episodes III and IV or “the dark times” when the empire really starts to take power. The show sounds like it will be a mix of Lost and Heroes with the episodes being told through the eyes of different the characters and then everything eventually comes together. I hope that Boba Fett and the other bounty hunters have more of a role in this series.

I just read on imdb.com that George said the show will be an HBO series and he described it as a combination of “Deadwood and The Sopranos in space.” Luckily I liked both of those shows because of the action and the twists, so I think this series will be fun to watch and I’ll be looking forward to the show starting soon.

I’ve been keeping up with the Clone Wars animated series pretty regularly. It’s a nice break to go back to basics and watch thirty minutes of cartoons for a week. I like the animation and the dialogue can be cheesy but I recommend checking out the series if you are a star wars fan.

Here are a few of the sites I like to occasionally checkout for anything Star Wars related.
