tv question

[paul253]

I remember a while ago reading about George Lucas making a tv show of Star Wars which was apparently supposed to take place between episodes 3 and 4. Does anyone know when they show is supposed to start running, or if it is even still being planned?

According to the message board on IMDB (taken for what it's worth), primary filming has begun. Set to debut in 2009.

Disney has been pushing hard to make Lucas happy so they can get the show for ABC and ABC Family. It could also lead to mini Star Wars lands in some of their theme parks.

If that's true, then I don't think I'd be as excited. What I had originally heard (and granted I probably heard it over 2 years ago) was that Lucas wanted the series to have a much more mature and "darker" tone than any of the movies. How you can get darker than Part III (graphic decapitation, multiple limb severances, a person being burned to a crisp while alive) I don't know.
