I have a feeling it will replace the True Blood or Entourage slots on HBO in 2~ years

I think they should have Quentin Tarantino write/direct a 2-3-4 episode story about the SW underworld.
Now THAT would be awesome.

I'm looking forward to this show alot. I don't really care about the Clone Wars or what happened 4000 years ago. I want to see the Dark Times period. I find Jedi boring with their wizardry antics. I want to see more of the normal people take centre stage like rebels, imperials, bounty hunters and smugglers.


I don't know it would be cool to go back in time and do a show about the Knights of the old Repbulic, Ancient Dark lords of the Sith, Plus other Dark side Cults, Light side cults, and Mandlorians cults too.

Due to the expansive force powers available to the force useres of back then, it would not be a good idea to have GL do that era or to have it done in live action. If the OLD REPUBLIC era is to be considered, it would be wise to have some one do it in an animated form that can give it the proper justice. One era that I do not want to see prequel force powers are in that era. I grew up with Tales of the Jedi stories, KOTOR 1 and 2, and even the Clone War video game (2002) with the Dark Reaper. I also don't want to see the blue and green swrods, cause that time frame has different colors.

Discussions about cost are a bit rushed at this present time. Essentially

1. We don’t expect TV production values to be as high as film - Babylon 5 anyone

2. The main reason for the high cost of the films was that they were inventing technology as needed. As crazy as it seems now Jar-Jar was beyond the cutting edge of technology when he first appeared. RoTS also has huge amounts of technological breakthroughs behind it. This technology is now in place, it no longer needs to be invented.

3. I would imagine that loads of props and the like i.e. scenery will be reused week on week such as the base/ship of the central characters

Along with the fact that this show is almost a liecence to print money i see no reason why it would be cost effective to not spend money on it.

What is the deal with this project. I have not heard any real news about it in over a year. I wonder if this show will ever be made. If they eventually do, I hope they take a page out of Battlestar Galactica's book with regards to space battles on TV.

I think this show has the potential to be the most interesting piece of Star Wars story to be produced.

We only ever get hints of how dangerous a universe this could be, you have your smugglers and criminals on one hand, and the empire on the other, if you put a small band of upstart rebels in the middle of it, you've instantly got an interesting story.

One of my favorite aspects of the Force Unleashed game was how alone the main character was, and anyone would sell him out when they found out he was a "jedi". If you're constantly on the run with something special, ala "Children of Men", the drama pretty much writes itself. Nothing has really delved into it yet, as far as the big stuff, that game touched on it, Droids as well, even eps 4 & 5 used it as necessary to advance its own story, but never made it the focus.

Also, you've got a really heavy weight of story sitting ontop of the established story already, it's one of the things Star Wars does best. Clone Wars, as much as I love the show, has to really force this out because there's nothing the show can't do. It's set in a very "show don't tell style", there's always as many Jedi, Clones, Droids, landscape, technology, etc. as the story needs.

I think it could definitely be a lot darker than the movies / CW tv show. I'd like them to show some Jedi on the run, trying not to get caught and everything, and I'd LOVE if Mara Jade were in it too. Also Boba Fett. I can't get enough of him.

I sure hope this Live Action show is still going to happen as planned / announced. It does seem to have a lot of potential.

I read some of the forum for the "Untitled Star Wars TV Show" on imdb and a lot of people had said that there was evidence that it was still in production. I don't have many details, but if you want to check it out: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0458291/board

George Lucas announced it at Celebration III, but that's really all that's been said aside from a few bits here an there.
