I was wondering if you guy's think there will be Tie-fighters or any other fighters we've seen in the movies on the small screen?

Also I'm sort of hopeing for a shot (even a quick shot) of the Death Star still being built. I think it would be a great way to bridge the gap between Epi.III & IV. Unless and it's very possible Lucas goes another way all togather.


Thoughts?

Personally, I'm sure we will. And later on, probably X-Wings, too.

Speaking of which, I think a great plotline for the series to follow would be the defection of the Incom X-wing designers to the Rebellion.

Really? That would make a great storyline?

Yes, the allegiances of aerospace manufacturing companies really get my adrenaline pumping.

You don't think a side plot involving industrial espionage against the Empire and the origins of the X-wing fighter has potential?

It has potential to be boring.

Of all the fantastical and outlandish possibilities offered by the Star Wars universe, a side-plot involving "industrial espionage" is a terrible waste.

I don't agree, I think uniquely detailed storylines like that would be really nifty, chances of it occuring though are somewhat slim IMO.

The show has the opportunity to show some things that we either read out or heard of in one form or another. At the same time though, my guess is that little things like this will either just be hinted at or omitted altogether.

I think as long as it doesn't overwhelm the story line it would be cool to see the fighters change to what or close to what they are in the OT. But, as I stated as long as it doesn't take away from the story first and foremost.

Personally I think we'll see cameos from fighters from the movies but I reckon the series will be mostly standalone in that respect. And we may hear of the Empire and the Rebellion but I think they will just be in the background with the Emperor and Vader as like these almost mythical figures.

Lucas has stated in many interviews about the live action series that in addition to Bounty Hunters, the series would focus on other background characters such as X-Wing Pilots and Tie Fighter pilots.

So if X-Wing and Tie Fighter pilots will be in the series, it's safe to say so will X-Wings and Tie Fighters in some form or another. dancing
