With production on Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull wrapping up, George Lucas has turned his attention to a new live-action Star Wars television series. Set for a 2009 premier, the series will not focus on established main characters from the films, rather on minor characters in the greater Star Wars universe, set in the intervening period between episodes III and IV. The 63-year old says:

QUOTE

The Skywalkers aren't in it, and it's about minor characters...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.

Star Wars producer, Rick McCallum, is currently interviewing writers for the proposed series, which may initially run to 100 episodes.

Work has also continued on a new series of Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

Oh goody. We can have a whole series about Jar Jar Binks.

I've become a bit disheartened after the prequels.

I thought Jar Jar died in Robot Chicken?

It will be shite, if the prequels are anything to go by.

Although if that graphic is official, it would hint that Boba Fett is going to be featured, which isn't a bad thing.

Wonder if they'll also feature his relatively unknown younger brother. The one who goes round washing cars and mowing lawns on the weekends - Boba Jobb.

We may be lucky, George has more clout than most poeple who try to make this kind of stuff.

Normal conversation... I have a good idea for a series, here is the script.

Execs... well its nice but it doesnt fit into the concept we have so you wil have to change it.

Add in george.. I have an idea for a series, here is the script.

Execs.. well george, it doesnt fit into our concept so you will have to change it.

George.. Listed dickweed, your concept doesnt fit with my concept so unless you want me to change the execs in this room to ones I can work with, shut the fuck up and nod...

However that is no guarentee it will be decent and not full of huge plot holes that the blind captain of a 4000 tonn oil tanker couldnt fall into.
