The Star Wars TV Series & Lucas Talks
'Dian' sent in this bit heard on TV in Australia regarding the upcoming live-action "Star Wars" TV series:
I was just watching the news over here in Australia and they said that the TV series will be shot in Australia and a deal will be done this June. The show will be one hundred episodes long and a hour each.
Lucasfilm is also developing a 3D half-hour version of the Clone Wars animated series that have aired on Cartoon Network. Static Multimedia has more on this with George Lucas:
"The TV series, the animated TV series called 'Clone Wars' is about the clone wars. Some of it has been on the Cartoon Network, but we're making it into an actual half hour, 3D animation series, and the other one deals with minor characters. And the time period is between episode 3 and episode 4, that 20-year stretch, but the characters aren't any of the main characters that are in the movies."
In that interview, Lucas also talks about "Episode III" (including spoilers) and the "Star Wars" franchise in-depth. He gave an update on Indiana Jones 4 as well:
"Yep. I got a script last week and I'm going to work with the writer next week and you know, we have a ways to go on it."
