Sivy Posted January 22, 2004 Posted January 22, 2004 from http://www.theforce.net BIG NEWS: Small Screen Star Wars Thu, Jan 22, 04 12:45:08 AM EST We may be able to shed some more light on the info indicating that Episode VII, VII, IX might happen. It may not be for a post-trilogy at all. A year ago, we got our first report about the possibility of a TV show in the works after Episode III. We were not able to backup the info with other evidence, so it remained on the side and unreported... until recently. We posted rumblings that Steven Spielberg might be involved in Star Wars post-Episode III and there must be something in the works, we got plenty of commentary. Then AICN posted the article about Pacific Digital and licensing agreements being extended, so many concluded that post-ROTJ films might be in the works. However, we also looked at our info from last year and believed we might finally have some proof of the initial report. We needed more. We might finally have it. People we trust are telling us that there's a TV show on the design table. Instead of a Rogue Squadron series (which we first theorized some time ago), they may be looking at a post Episode 3 - pre Episode 4 about the rise of Darth Vader and why he is so feared in the OT. We cannot confirm yet if the show is intended as live-action or animated (like Clone Wars). Since this is all in the early stages, it could change further down in pre-production. More as we get it - just thought you'd like to know what we're hearing.
Surfnshannon Posted January 22, 2004 Posted January 22, 2004 I just read that............buwahahahaha
swphreak Posted January 22, 2004 Posted January 22, 2004 If it is cartoon, I will hurt Lucas, and just for the hell of it, I'm going to kill that Tartosky guy. I'd rather it be CG, but if it has to, I guess live action, would be ok... the acting better not suck though. And it better not end up like Star Trek.
Sivy Posted January 22, 2004 Author Posted January 22, 2004 yeah, i hope its not cartoon, i mean i like clone wars but, 'the rise of vader', that would be better off as live-action. as long as they get james earl jones to do the voice.
eastcoast2895 Posted January 22, 2004 Posted January 22, 2004 i don't want live action. for some reason i see some trashy production quality if it is going to be live action. if it was cartoon, i'd like it if the person who does clone wars and samurai jack does it because those are pretty good.
Mex Posted January 22, 2004 Posted January 22, 2004 Whats the point in this? Why do they keep milking the franchise? Sometime that milks going to run out.
Alegis Posted January 22, 2004 Posted January 22, 2004 here we have saying 'butter spread over too much bread' but Star Wars has always been big, remember that Lucas first intended to have series instead of movies. I'd much rather like movies, and I fear animated/acted..It has to be CG to please me
The_One Posted January 22, 2004 Posted January 22, 2004 I think Lucas needs a very powerful slap to the cheek. Can't he just leave Star Wars alone? Clearly not...

Boba Rhett Posted January 22, 2004 Posted January 22, 2004 *paces back and fourth, pulling at his hair and ocassionally stopping to mutter, "**** this ****"*
lukeiamyourdad Posted January 23, 2004 Posted January 23, 2004 If it happens, it IS going to end up like Star Trek. *runs to beat the living hell out of some trekkies with plastic lightsaber*
Hyarmendacil Posted January 24, 2004 Posted January 24, 2004 I hate this idea. I hope it never happens. I dont care what lucas intended SW to be in the first place. Its gone way beyond what it was first intended as. That part of the story is too important to be done on anything other than the big screen, continuing just as the rest of the story has already been told. Something like the Clone Wars series, supplementing a feature motion picture, is still a good idea.
ZBomber Posted January 24, 2004 Posted January 24, 2004 After episode 3, they should just re run the olde rcartoons, and sell them on DVD......
Thrawn Posted January 26, 2004 Posted January 26, 2004 I would love for this to be live action, although I really can't get used to the idea of seeing a Star Wars show on something like CBS or any other network. Just steer clear of UPN. Seeing as how it would be from Lucasfilm and ILM, it could very well be an excellent show. Although, Star Wars has always been about EPIC stories, so does anyone think that a show may not be able to capture it all? I think it might work better as a mini-series, but I haven't had much time to think about it. The other thing I would like to see would be a cartoon based on Rogue Squadron. Or a CG series. They could take storylines from the books, movies, games, everything.
Darth Groovy Posted January 26, 2004 Posted January 26, 2004 I would not put too much stock or faith into what theforce.net puts out. This is the same website that posted rumors of Boba Fett being played by Kurt Russel. It's all about hit counts, and in this case, bull**** sells. I wouldn't loose any sleep over this if I were any of you.
Surfnshannon Posted January 26, 2004 Posted January 26, 2004 I don't want anyone to ruin Starwars like they did with Star Trek.
Prime Posted January 27, 2004 Posted January 27, 2004 Originally posted by Darth Groovy It's all about hit counts, and in this case, bull**** sells. And not just in this case
Darth Groovy Posted January 27, 2004 Posted January 27, 2004 Originally posted by STTCT I don't want anyone to ruin Starwars like they did with Star Trek. Too late. The media has already killed Star Wars. Just look at how many people have jumped on the Star Wars hating band wagon over the course of the last 5 years. Episode 3 doesn't stand a ghost of a chance no matter how good it is. You really think they would be stupid enough to attempt a Television series? I think Chuck D from Public Enemy said it best when he said "Don't Believe The Hype!".
DarkLord60 Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 Originally posted by Prime I'll believe this when it is on my TV. Same here.
T10 Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 News flash Mr. Lucas. No-one cares. Personally. I'd prefer it if you just got your films done. But nooooooooooooo. Let's explore pre-ANH some more. If you have to, at least keep it sensible. No just a star trek rip-off with 7 or so people in the same setting day in day out. Coming across similar problems, and solving them using the force every single time. B-O-R-I-N-G! Please. Don't do it. If you do, please don't make it into a cartoon. Star Wars is not for babies. It is for people. People who don't pick up a comic in a shop just because it has a famous name on it. Please...stop the torture...
ExcelsioN Posted February 10, 2004 Posted February 10, 2004 I told you this would happen. Originally posted by Me Somehow I know that GL will make prequels to the prequels...or sequels to the sequels....or something. 20 years from now we might be watching Star Wars: Episode 9: Return of the Return of the Jedi. But as a TV show....Dear God NO!
ZBomber Posted February 12, 2004 Posted February 12, 2004 20 years from now we might be watching Star Wars: Episode 9: Return of the Return of the Jedi. I really don't think anythign will be made.
