`Star Wars' universe likely to expand to small screen http://www.chicagotribune...i-news-hed
Zap2It Published April 27, 2005 The "Star Wars" movie saga is drawing to a close next month, but George Lucas said over the weekend that the universe he created may continue to expand on television. Speaking at the biggest "Star Wars" convention ever held, Lucas said that he has approved the creation of two TV series to continue the franchise in the future. "We're doing a pilot television series now called `Clone Wars,"' Lucas told the audience at Celebration III, a huge "Star Wars" convention in Indianapolis. "Well, we're going to take that and turn it into a 3-D animated version full series." The animated series will presumably pick up and expand the story of Cartoon Network's 2-D "Clone Wars" shorts, executive produced by Lucas and directed by "Samurai Jack" creator Genndy Tartakovsky. The second project, Lucas said, will be a live-action series in the vein of "The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles," which had a one-season run on ABC in the early 1990s. According to StarWars.com, Lucas said the show would take place in the time between the events of the forthcoming "Episode III" and the first "Star Wars" film, which follows "III" in the story's chronology. "Star Wars: Episode III--Revenge of the Sith" opens in theaters May 19. This sounds like it'll be interesting!!  | |
