[QUOTE]Originally posted by Nim: [QB] I especially can't see the point in doing a series set in the time between Eps II and III because "Clone Wars" already covered that. Talk about dead horse. And if the main characters only will involve C-3P0 and R2, I'll get seriously depressed. Since they screwed up the originally noble and gritty Grievous, voiced by John DiMaggio, and turned him into a clich�d Nosferatu that says "Fool!" to everyone, what possible good could come out of showing more of that? And focusing on matters before Ep. III, when we've already seen the inevitability of it all thanks to Palpatine's godlike prescience, would just be an exercise in nostalgia. It's like catching up on Season 2 of DS9 after you've finished Seasons 5, 6 and 7...(I actually tried this with my brother and we had to stop after a few episodes, it felt so futile) Regarding the CGI portion, I suspect that ILM will still be at the forefront of development next year, and that the "Toy Story"-remark was only an allegory for "all characters and environments will be CGI", not that they'll look like frigging one-tone LEGO's (no offense, Jeff). One strange thing one can glean in this article is how Sansweet talks about the shift in focus away from the Skywalker-family. I've heard several interviews with Lucas clearly stating that the focus always should lie on that family, otherwise it's just filler. So why suddenly start doing just that? Not daring to move outside the prequel time frame, they instead try to show everything we [i]didn't[/i] see in eps II and III? It is of course way too early to tell what the two series will be like, but sometimes the Star Wars production timeline shows the same signs of development stages as that of a typical ambitious webcomic, say MegaTokyo or "Something Positive"; it starts out strong, witty and imaginative, then goes from underground to relative fame, continuing into fan-service, exploration and the "Golden Days", before it turns into obscure, rambling pseudo-drama that only entertains the creator (or in the case of S.P, becomes the creator's boring vomit bag of personal problems, using whining, 200-word speech bubbles). A lot of the success of the 1-hour TV show will lie in the hands of its director. I hope he/she's fresh. [/QB][/QUOTE]
