Title: So, deep down, do we think this is going to happen?
Post by: ravenseye8 on June 17, 2012, 05:29:47 PM
What are the odds we actually see a live-action Star Wars tv show?  They've been talking about it for like a decade now.

No ,George has simply lost interest in doing a live action series ,why would he when Clone Wars keeps his "product" in the market place , and if he keeps fidlling around with the originals he's got a hobby to keep him happy.

last I heard HBO said it would be far to expensive to make with todays technology and it would be re-evaluated in 5 years, and that was about a year ago

i dont think we'll see much in the way of SW after the clone wars show is over. we'll see games and of course re-releases of the movies on every new platform available and the countless toy lines following each re-release. but in the ways of new material, probly not til Uncle George has passed and his control over the franchise is passed to someone else.

can't see this anytime soon and by that i mean thick end of a decade if at all, another trilogy would be the best bet for new star wars product as they could run in a new direction now BUT well george is probably devoid of any worthwhile new story ideas.

Maybe a short web series, some day in the future... I can't figure out why Star Trek and BSG have had so many series from the eighties till now (all full of CGI etc.) and still Star Wars cannot have his own TV-show!

Star wars and Trek were built on different audiences.  Star Wars is more action/adventure and Trek is more of a character dynamics base series.

I have to say that as much as I'd like to see a Star Wars TV show,  I can't ever see it happening, especially not the more adult-oriented one that most people (myself included) would like to see.

I just don't see George Lucas okaying something like that.

I read an interview with Rick Mccallum, Unca George's SW producer some time ago that the series would now be pushed to the 2014-15 at least due to increased costs, ever evolving story lines, finding the right network, etc. If we see it ever happen, it will be another 3 yrs or so, IMO.

I think now with Disney purchasing the rights I'm Possitive we see a tv show very soon. Lets face it, it's all about marketing and money, and Disney has plenty of that. Now Lucas will be forced to relinquish his overall control and the result will be LOTS of Star Wars stuff coming to our Galaxy.

Bane

He wasn't forced...he's retiring.  He's stated himself his only ties to Star Wars will be creative input.  Since the story is his it's only logical that you let the man have some input as to where the story goes.

Kinda resurrecting a semi-elder thread, but LucasArts released info after the shutdown that the series was kind of a companion to SW:1313, and would have followed young Boba Fett and his bounty hunting buddies (some of whom we met in the CW s4 episode Bounty) through his life during the Dark Times (between ROTS and ANH).

And even more resurrection ....
I've read articles like this recently: George Lucas' Star Wars TV Show & 1313 Not Dead? (http://www.slashfilm.com/star-wars-tv-show/)

it seens Disney/LFL hasn't discarded a series OR the 1313 Game ... reading things like that is a xxx teaser!

Everyone WANTS "a piece of the action" with SW and some that have got a piece are rather dubious; a vaporizer/humidifier painted to look like R2D2? What the Force?

The Evil Mouse will milk the cash cow til it dies so I wouldn't count out a Netflix series at some point, and if it would be good I'd welcome it, but I'll believe it when I see it. Which I don't think we ever will of this older concept - whatever they wanted to do with the live action series they were once developing might get reworked into part of Rebels or some other movie or game project down the line though.

I too read this somewhere, after the success of shows like daredevil on Netflix, I think they want to try and do a Star Wars one. Not too sure if Netflix is the right place though, surely TV would be better?
Not that I wouldn't watch it either way!
