For some time now we've been hearing from George Lucas and Lucasfilm Ltd. that there is a live-action Star Wars television series in the works. The purpose of this thread is to serve as a bulletin board for SWTV info. If you hear any new info regarding this exciting project feel free to tack it up here. Let's keep the Force alive at Monsterland. I'll get it started: From: http://www.hollywood.com/news/detail/id/3484376 :
And some older info from Comingsoon.net
So there ya go. That's about all we know about the show for now but I'm sure by the end of the year we'll have more concrete info and possibly some photos. THANK GOD Star Wars is not over yet! |

I liked the lastest three films although the last one was best out of the three. As for the expanded universe there are over 50 novels out the with 80% of the including the original characters (luke Skywalker and co) starting from the "courtship of princess Leia through the Vong war and then to the "legacy of the force series. I have read all of them Upto but not including "Sacrific" and have gotta say they have kept me going on my Starwars fix, if you read science fiction they are well worth the read. |

I read most of "The New Jedi Order". For the most part I enjoyed the series but I felt it dragged on for a bit too long. The Yuuzhan Vong were an interesting threat and Luke was more kick-ass than ever. Never read any of the "Legacy of the Force" series but I understand a lot of fans are not happy about events that have unfolded. Timothy Zahn's "Thrawn" trilogy was solid. I even have the 18-issue comic adaptation from Dark Horse Comics. If you loved the novels I highly recommend picking up the trade paperbacks comics. Good stuff. |

I don't like "Legacy". The thrawn Trilogy is awesome. Shadows of the Empire is cool, too. |

See, that's tough. I used to love Darth Vader. Then I had a bad experience with a Guy in a Vader Costume and then Revenge of the Sith Came out and Darth Vader didn't kill the Jedi! He kill a bunch of defensless kids! So, that ruined the whole Vader being all powerfull and evil in my eyes. Personally, I like Darth Maul. And yes, I know he was killed be Darth Vader in a Comic book, But He's faster, can use all Dark Side Powers and has all of his limbs in The Phantom Menace. Darth Maul could take Darth Vader (in the Vader Suit). Vader's weakness in Force Lightning. |

My favorite "Darth" has been Maul since I first saw the 1999 SW film. I like how he employed two light sabers(and not just one). I also thought his appearance was very menacing, what with the horns(or whatever those things are called) and the face paint. Maul looked about as evil as the Devil himself. |

He had lines? Good grief, I can't remember Maul speaking at all. I'm going to watch this one again tonight.

Of course he had lines. How could you forget, "At last we will reveal ourselves to the Jedi. At last we will have revenge." |

True. True. I've seen it far too many times. I just remember they used that line for a lot of the trailers when the movie was first released. |

I was thinking about the last time I actually watched Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace(1999), and it dawned on me I watched it once, after I bought the DVD of it, I believe back in 2000. That, and the fact my short term memory suffers a bit sometimes, may be why I didn't remember the lines from Maul. I hope.

He only spoke about 2 or 3 lines so it's easy to forget the fact that he spoke. Boba Fett only spoke a few lines in EMPIRE and had no dialogue (except for the screaming) in JEDI. |

^I'll spoil it, I don't care. Jason goes to the Dark Side. Mara Jade is killed. I know those were two key points as to why the series is not well liked by fans. |

There's a reason why you couldn't find them, Jae: there aren't any. I've never used them so it's possible that's why I've never noticed the absence of any. There are code "add-ons" at Invisionfree Skin Zone that, I believe, include the "spoiler" tag. I'll look into incorporating an add on of this type into this message board, either today or tomorrow. Thanks and sorry about this. :) |

Has anyone seen the New Clone Wars Trailer that's coming out with the movie Speed Racer. It was leaked yesterday and taken off of youtube. But I found it somewhere else. http://tubemall.net/undeletube.php?v=ePdRjB-JkOE This looks so good. I'll admit, I was scared at first. But the Lightsaber fights and the Space Battles look too good! Not crazy about the likeness (if you want to call it that) of Count Dooku. |

Yeah, it looks awesome. And that is Samuel L Jackson providing his voice for Mace Windu. ;) I'm still far more excited about the live-action series. |

bravo clap The animation certainly gets your attention. When I look at this CGI animation and think back to some of the stuff I grew up on in the 60's the difference is mind boggling. It makes me wonder where we'll be in the next forty years. |

In 40 years I'd say animation (such as this) will be indistinguishable from live-action. I've no doubt Lucasfilm could've gone more photo-realistic with their animation style but chose to go the pseudo-anime route. |

yes that I can understand but was that not the same as killing off chewbacca and then Anakin Solo both of which were bit characters although Chewbacca more so. As I say I have not read Sacrifice yet but had heard Mara had been killed and was to start with a little upset but that being said it will add new twists to the series and beyond. The books are more moving away form the ROJ characters and more to the younger ones like jaina, jacien and Ben. |

Initially I considered this article for the "Fortean Crypt" topic thread but then reconsidered, given its "Star Wars" context. In Wales(UK) a man dressed as Darth Vader, wearing a garbage bag for a cape, assaulted two men who are members of a religious sect calling themselves the "Church Of Jediism". Arwel Hughes attacked Barney Jones and cousin Michael Jones with a metal crutch. Thankfully neither of the two was seriously injured. In court an attorney for the Darth Vader wannabe told the judge his client felt remorse for his actions and had no recollection of the incident because he'd consumed nearly 2.5 gallons of wine before seeking out the two "Jedis". The judge suspended Hughes' one year sentence and ordered him to pay restitution to both of the Jones, and also pay court costs: May the farce be with you: man dressed as Darth Vader sentenced in assault cross-eyed |

LOL, George Lucas getting more money.... I used to be a big Star Wars Toy Collector. Then I realized that most of the stuff coming out was repackaged, repainted stuff that was already out. Now, I just buy the New stuff. The Orignal stuff. |
