Quote:I was bored the other day and decided to Wiki Star Wars to see what would pop up when to my surprise I spy a link for the Star Wars TV series due in syndication by 2008. Needless to say, I was smiling with glee while reading the article. I popped over to the official Star Wars web site to have my findings confirmed at true. The actor that played the Boba Fett child in Episode 2 is going to be a main character in the series. The series takes place between episodes 3 and 4 and from speculation on my part will follow many Jedi, such as Qualin Vox, as they are hunted down. I seriously cannot wait for this show /drool . And they claim if this show is successful (I cannot conceive of it failing unless its truly terrible), then the producers will make a series during the Knights of the Old Republic time period. I can't wait, but I don't really have a choice either.
I'm going to keep a healthy bit of skepticism about this one. Don't get me wrong, it's certainly exciting news. But sometimes I'm amazed at how badly they can butcher a franchise.
*Thinks about Star Trek: The Next Generation and then the abominations that followed, culminating in the newest complete flop*
Granted, this is Star Wars and not Star Trek, and it will take a whole lot of effort to sink anything involving light sabres. But you never know, George Lucas did think Episode One was a good idea :whistling:
