I heard it was about the relationship between bounty hunters, the empire, smugglers etc.

Maybe even jabba and Xizor will make an apperance

There was an interview about this on TFN and GL wants Jabba in the new series, but GL doesnt know Xizor at all, so I dont think there´s space for such an EU character...

Of minor to no interest.......in late April I got to talk to Daniel Logan who said he's had no contact with Lucas about the Live action series, but that he would love to be involved.

Last week I had the oppurtunity to ask Jeremy Bulloch the same question. He as well said he's heard nothing about it from George, but certainly would consider it if the oppurtunity arose. He mentioned one of the things he loves about acting is its uncertain nature and how one never knows when the phone is going to ring with George Lucas on the other end....... happy

Don't forget, it could be Rick McCallum on the other line. IIRC he was the one who said something of Daniel Logan being in the LAS sometime last year.

Lucas definitely knows about Xizor as he was somewhat involved in the SOTE project to some degree- and actually suggested which Holiday Special cantina alien design to base Xizor's species off of.

Too bad he didn't tell Daniel tongue

Of course Mr. Logan could be keeping his cards close and I think he'd still fit in quite well as an 18 year old Boba Fett. Still he came across to me as being completely in the dark. happy

I think Xizor would be great. Some newly re-emerging Black Sun Syndicate vs. The Hutt crime empire, with the bounty hunters, smugglers and others caught in the middle, all under the watchful eye of the Empire.

I guarantee it.



They could use other popular characters instead of Vader. Boba Fett, some Jedi, Stinky is a hugely popular new Star Wars character the fans adore.


None of those characters are iconic. Boba Fett is vastly overrated, the Jedi get killed off, and Stinky isn't all that popular, either.

darth vader is probably one of the most recognized characters in SW history. He's an all-time villain, for goodness sakes. If fans beg for him and we all know they will, we'll be seeing darth vader in this series.

As sad as it is, fans love darth vader. So of course, fans are going to want to see darth vader in action.

I think this series sounds great, finally something more to bridge the gap between 3 & 4. But I also think it would be cool to make every weeks episode focas on someone or something different. Or a few episodes in a row focasing on one situation like they did with Malevelence in the cartoon. It would be cool to see an episode on a young Luke & Biggs getting into soem trouble or something, then an episode on a young Han winning the Falcon from Lando, then a Boba Fett episode ect. It would be cool if they bounced around a bit and we got to see a lot of stuff that is referenced to in the movies.

Rotta is a definite possibility. Vader not so much considering Lucas's comments about the Skywalker's being not involved what so ever.

We might be likely to see a character the likes of Admiral Yularen like in CWA. A movie character expanded upon in live action form.

That would be crazy to have this background ANH character suddenly become so prominent in the eents prior. I like it. grin

I think I saw a poster at Comic Con that announced TFU,TCW and The Live Action series.On it it had Vader,Yoda and Boba Fett.
I think the live action series will include Quinlan Vos and Boba Fett with an appearance of Darth Vader on special episodes.
Of coarse I could be wrong but if TCW is any indication it will be cinematic and hopefully way better then TCW.Which I do Love.


P.S.How awesome would it be if Jimmy Smitts was in this as Bail,afterall he is a TV actor.
