[QUOTE]Originally posted by Nim: [QB] Movieweb.com got to make an interview with Steve Sansweet of Lucasfilm Fan relations regarding future projects, presented here is the paydirt; [QUOTE][b]Speaking of the future, you said the Star Wars TV show is years away...[/b] Steve Sansweet: We're doing it in two phases. The first is Star Wars animation, which is CG 3-dimensional animation, like a Toy Story, that takes place during the period of the Clone Wars that takes place between Episodes 2 and 3. And that we're setting for Fall of 2007. Preproduction is underway, we're doing animation test, people are working on initial scripts. So we're well under way on that. And George is very much taking hand and is very much part of the whole process. I know some people thought maybe he would just hey "hey, go do it," but George is Star Wars and he's always gonna be very closely involved in this. The other project is live action, and the live action is going to take place between Episode 3 and Episode 4. We're looking at a 1 hour show and [Producer] Rick McCallum has said the ideal would be to come up with 100 hours to really get into the story line and characters, and that's the direction we're going in. So that is really targeted more towards the end of the decade. [b]Speaking of characters, we hear it's not going to be the main characters...[/b] Steve Sansweet: Correct. That's what George has said. For the most part, it's going to be characters you've seen a little of or seen some of, and they will be the central figures. But of course the plot lines will have to take into account what is happening in the rest of the galaxy, so you'll hear the names Luke and Han and Darth and things like that. [b]So we will have a core group of heros, it won't be episodic with a new hero each episode?[/b] Steve Sansweet: I think there will probably be story arcs where we'll have some very familiar kinds of character continuity. Ya, I think you need to do that to do it like a movie. For most movies, not like Star Wars, but most movies where every movie you do it's a different group of characters. No I don't think that's what Star Wars fans want or expect. [b]Would it be too early to speculate on new villains? A new Grievous/Darth Maul type?[/b] Steve Sansweet: I think in the Clone Wars animation, I think it's possible that we're going to see villains that we already know, like Grievous. I think it's way to early to speculate what's going to happen in the TV show. I think George has an idea of what he wants to do, where he wants to go with it, what kinds of characters he wants in it, but that's something...he's working on the animation right now...that he'll explore later.[/QUOTE]I want to add that I copied the text from Movieweb.com, I haven't spellchecked their lazy writing. <a href="http://www.movieweb.com/tv/news/90/11090.php">Full article here.</a> I have certain comments but I want to hear yours first, my turnips.
