McCallum confirms EU characters will be in live action series

As per the hyperspace audio cast put online today, Rick says we can expect to see EU characters in the live action tv series. My thoughts....Garm Bel Iblis.

 

McCallum said the live-action series are planned just at the beginning of 2007.
About you, does it mean that the release of the series is for early 2007 or the start of principal photography?

Thanks

 

I don't have hyperspace, can anyone PM me with a link or send me an email with it?

 

I don't want any EU characters how about some completely new characters we have never seen before and they are beginning pre-production in Janurary 2006, they are beginning principal photography in 2007, and the TV Series is coming out in 2008.

 

i like EU and i hope to see a lot of different tie in's...

 

That's too bad, then.

Just because there are EU characters that will be in the show doesn't mean that automatically they are forbidden to use any other characters.

Personally, I i'm mixed about this. While it's cool that we'll finally get to see some EU people, given Lucas' predilection for not caring about continuity this could really mess up a whole lot of post-ROTJ EU backstory.

 

Guys we're gonna get both characters we've seen en Eu and new ones. It'll be cool.

 

Sorry wrong wording I just don't want the show to turn into a show with a bunch of EU characters a few is alright but if they put a lot of them in there I'll be a little upset. You are right we will also probabaly get to see completely new characters. I still think the TV Series is going to be great though. Another one of my stupid posts.

 

IGN has an article about this as well http://filmforce.ign.com/articles/657/657048p1.html

Filming will be primarily in Sydney, but they will travel to other places to shoot various things and it will be shot in HD. Like has been said it will expand to EU characters, but still try and fill in some gaps between the trilogies.

They say this stuff will start in 2007, so I guess it's far to say the special effects won't be that much, if they plan to start airing that soon. I wish they would take more time, not just for sfx, but for the sake of quality and thinking it all out. Botching the tv series would suck. It's good to hear it will be a bit dark though.

I'm hoping for Ventress still.

I would prolly bank on Quilan Vos or whoever since they mentiond him in ROTS specifically.

 

Well I want a few EU characters but not so much.

 

Maybe we'll see Quinlan Vos, since Lucas decided to cut his death scene from Revenge of the Sith.

 

Looks like we'll be getting alot of the same people that were in Farscape considering they are doing it in Australia.

 

Might give slightly more credence to the Matthew Newton and Wayne Pygram rumors...

Would new characters/events/vehicles from the shows actually be EU, though, especially in the episodes by Lucas? I'm thinking that, if nothing else, LFL might make a new level of canonicity for it (below the movies, above everythign else).

 

True. You know who would be a kick ass showrunner? Tim Minear!

 

I know I was just telling The2ndquest that because he did not pay any heed to that in his message and I wanted to tell him that okay.

 

I'm not sure that adding the quote button when the forums were re-vamped was a good idea, y'know?

Wait a minute, Quinlan SURVIVED getting toasted by that tank in the comic? Star Wars comic writers are hacks, I swear. I guess it's true, it's impossible to die in the EU. I'm still waiting to see how they "save" Aayla!

 

Well, your going to have to wait for eternity, it won't happen. She's dead.

 

But then how would Revan get his post count up?

 

You never know... So was Mace, So was Boba, So was Palpatine.
