Release Date: Far, Far Away!
« on: March 11, 2009, 09:27:35 AM »
Hey guys, was looking around for info on this and I don't know how many of you know, but it seems like the Live Action Series won't be out for a while. According to various News Websites and the like the casting is only just under way and production won't start until late 2009 or even 2010..

Do not get angry and take the path to the dark side with this news..control your feelings. =P

Also, for those that haven't read the forums and want info: Wookiepedia. Yes, it's true that Vader and Skywalkers won't feature. Also..nudity? =O

I think maybe we should complain abotu the possibility of nudity in this upcoming series. I just can't stand to think about Star Wars getting trashed like this. :o :-\ >:(

Relax, there will be no nudity.  ::) 

From Wookiepedia:

"Lucas confirmed that the show will be an HBO series and he described it as "Deadwood and The Sopranos in space." Not likely referring to the strong language, graphic violence, and full-frontal nudity of the two shows mentioned, it is possible that he is referring to the unpredictable and suspenseful nature as to which characters would meet an untimely end. "

Looks like I'll have to add HBO to the cable bill!

Guys, there's nothing there that says that there's going to be any nudity, so calm down. ::)

2010...I certainly hope it's better than 2009 was! ::)
10/10/10~Well, so far with my Father's passing away, I'd say that this year was actually worse than 2009, even the fact that I now have a full time job (For now) isn't anywhere near enough to make up for that...so...maybe 2011 will be better? I'm not holding my breath... ::)

Unless GL has changed his tune drastically there will be NO nudity in the SW universe.  Most likely no language or harsh violence either.

I saw GL in an interview a while back and he still confirmed his beliefs that I saw in an interview decades ago.  SW was targeted for young boys around the age of 10-ish.  GL regretted taking on the harsh violence and accompnaying PG-13 rating for the last movie.  He stated that he had to make it harsh enough to tell the story of war that was integral to the SW storyline.

I highly doubt he will change the SW dynamics since he makes a huge killing at targeting young children.  He would be shooting himself in the foot if he did.

As for target date, it really hasn't changed since I read an article over  a year ago.  Even back then they were shooting for the fall of 2010.  Seems like they are on target. 

As for HBO  >:(.  I knew it would go cable like SPIKE or Cartoon Network.  Wish you could just pick up one station at a time on limited basic.  >:(  Guess some of us will have to wait until they are released on DVD.  :'(

 :-[ :-[ Oops, I just realized I messed up. I missed the, not part of not likely. ;) ::) :P Whew... I was scared and ashamed there for a minute. But i didn't really think Lucas would do something like that. I wish we had cable. I wonder if they will have the episodes online? That'd be great.

Wow, I thought we were in the dark ages with our limited basic package.   Not to worry though.  GL is the best marketer on the planet.  He will have the set on DVD soon enough.  Most likely with several revisions.  :D

Darth Clonas was a Jedi for 4 years and joined the Sith Academy where he graduated and only uses a blue saber for fights inside the sith. For battles he uses a red saber . But, during his training, he was shocked and his outer tissues were destroyed, so he wears  armor. Darth Clonas now roams along his master, Lord Magnus.......

Yeah, HBO is kind of a downer.  But HBO means no commercials, no commercials means no other sponsors, means complete control, means a full 60 minutes of sheer galactic goodness.

I hope they take their time and get it right so that when it finally does come out it will appeal to everyone. Don't rush it out.
