Okay, STAR WARS Fans... Want Some More News To Chew On'! How About Those TV Series Premise Details'!
SPOILER ALERT !!
Hi, everyone. "Moriarty" here with some Rumblings From The Lab...
Okay... now that the dust has started to settle from the other day (and I say “started,” since it’s going to kick right back up next week when full details about the DVD changes start to trickle out... and they will), how about something else to keep you talking?
We’ve heard repeatedly now about marketing meetings that Lucasfilm has been holding internationally, in which they’ve laid out their plans for the next five years or so. One of the cornerstones of that plan has been a TV show rumored to start in the fall of 2006. So what would a STAR WARS TV show be about? What premise could possibly fuel a weekly series that wouldn’t also tread on the toes of film continuity? Could the Vader purge support an entire series, and how big a downer would it be just watching him kill Jedi each week? Could it be a Jedi Academy or a Rogue Squadron show?
Nope. Sounds like Lucasfilm knows exactly which character fans are still most intrigued by, even now, over 20 years after his first brief introduction. Yeah... you know who I’m talking about... check out what this spy had to say:
Yep, been a long time since my last report. But I like to save up. So it's time to cash out. Yep, there is a Star Wars TV show on the way. Yep, it takes place between Episode 3 and 4. Yep, the character and story arcs are starting to come together. Hehe... fanboys are gonna love this! Playing one of the series' villans we love to hate is none other than... wait for it... Boba Fett! Expect young Boba (but not nearly as young as in Ep. 2) to feature in the series significantly. And you wondered why Lucas spent so much time focusing on that kid in Attack of the Clones and made sure that you knew that he knew that the
Jedi/Republic was responsible for his Dad's death. Now you know.
Cooper the HoundNormally, I’d say a bad guy couldn’t really carry the weight of audience sympathy week to week as the star of a show, but Boba Fett is no ordinary bad guy, and this would certainly give Lucasfilm an entire galaxy of possibilities, story-wise.
For now, let’s consider this one an unconfirmed rumor, but I’m already working on a few key sources to try and get something more substantial. I’ll make sure to let you know when we do...
"Moriarty" out.

Star Wars is dead to me.

Fuck Star Wars
-
Just watch the "phantom seven" again and you will understand how shitty it has become. George Lucas is holding your money and making shitty ass movies involving shitty ass actors and some cocksucker named Jar Jar Binks. (By the way, the phantom seven is the is the seven dollars you spent on the movie, ask for it back, along with your childhood.)
-
I can't see how doing a TV show will not cheapen Star Wars. This will suck nuts, even if it is about Boba (The Young Boba Chronicles, anyone?). One thing to remember about the evil bounty hunter is that he gets the crappest death in the entire saga in ROTJ. So base an entire series on him then he dies in such a lame way? What a waste of time.
-
Wow, shitting on Star Wars, that is about as brave as shitting on Metallica, I fucking hate the internet.
-
What a perfect idea to have a weekly Star Wars series that as opposed to having people complain about there only being a movie or 3 every decade. I think it's a great idea.
-
George Lucas should kill himself for what he did to the, already perfect, classic trilogy. So who the fuck cares how that overrated, old, unimaginative fuck makes one worthless hour of TV a week. Release the real versions of the original trilogy on DVD, and maybe I'll watch your gay TV show.
-
Each week he should get a different body part cut off so that by the end of the series it's just his head. I sure as hell would tune in for that!
-
"George Lucas should kill himself"? That's pathetic. It's a goddamn series of movies. Get a life.
-
it said he will be one of the villains.
-
I must agree. And it hurts. My relationship with this franchise has been up and down. Love... pain... outrage... anger... numbness. When I saw the photo come out earlier this week I was indifferent. A couple of years ago I would've flipped. But now I'm resigned to the fact that Luca$ has just simply lost his mind. Still, I appreciate the love that Moriarity and Co. still possess for Star Wars. It brings out the microscopic soft spot in my heart I still have for the franchise. I think a tv show could be promising. It would allow for other creative minds to work within the Star Wars world. It worked for the expanded universe novels. It worked for Cartoon Network. I think it could work elsewhere too. Just get Luca$ away. And I hate negative energy. It's just that this man brought so much joy to my youth and almost everything he has done since has sought to undue that joy. I feel betrayed. I don't know. Thank God for my old vhs tapes, dvd bootlegs, old Kenner toys, and cherished memories. Peace.
-
I like the guy who calls Lucas overrated and unimaginitive right after he deems the OT "perfect". News flash, disgruntled fanboy: Star Wars was never perfect. If Return of the Jedi came out today we'd never hear the end of the trashing on the talkbacks. George Lucas owes you jack shit, and it's absurd to ask for the man's death while you worship a large chunk of his creative output. If it means so much to you that you want to go all Linkin Park on the world, you clearly need to get some perspective and stop whining. *** Can I nominate Michael Richards for IG-88? Dude needs some work, and no, that doesn't mean I want to see French Stewart as Zuckuss (or Craig T. Nelson's interpretation of Bossk, for that matter). This series could be cool in a completely different way, much like Young Indiana Jones was a solid, well written and produced show, but didn't really bleed into our memories of the films themselves.

Lucas should re-release the Star Wars Holiday Special!!!
by nicholaswolfwood
I wanna hear Princess Leia sing the Star Wars song!
-
In ESB had about 2 lines and thats it. Then RTJ he did not say anything and was killed off by screaming into the Sarlacc TO SHOW at the time he was not important to the story.
Then you have the god awful Clones film and that annoying child "Foire dad Foire".
And this is ment to be the super cool charachter and Luca$ had his story all worked out Yeah Sure. -
...but a Young Han Solo series would make even more money. Well, as long as the series doesn't switch back and forth between his adventures with Teddy Roosevelt at the age of nine, and the teenage years when Han and Lando were sneaking out of the house to go down to the race spaceships outside that 50's diner/space station. And if all else fails, I'm sure FOX would be happy with Anchorhead 90210...

And since I was talking about a nine year old Han Solo...
by tracheotomy man
Man, I would love to see Star Wars fanboys react to seeing some kid as skilled as Jake Lloyd playing a young Han Solo. That would totally amuse me. I'd love to see him get in a fight with Greedo because Greedo threw a water baloon first and missed from like two feet away...
-
I guess I'm the only one who never really got into Boba Fett. He's a half-assed character who has no business getting the attention he's gotten. I just don't see the appeal myself. He should have been shown briefly in the OT as he was and left at that. Incoporating him so much into the history is one of the flaws of the Prequel Trilogy. I sure as hell don't want to see him in TV series. I still think Lucasfilm is missing the boat on this TV series idea. They should set it during the time period of SW: Knights of the Old Republic. They'd have so much more freedom to develop a cool series. Instead, we've got filler between Episodes III and IV. Boring.

Color me dubious of this. Sounds like fanboy fantasizing.
by prof. pop-cult
A TV series about a bad guy? From Lucas? I don't believe it. Anybody remember the well produced but incredibly boring Young Indiana Jones Chronicles? A Star Wars series would probably be like that -- Star Wars: The Galactic Council. One hour of CSPAN-like coverage of the political "drama" that goes on within the Council. Think Babylon 5 or The West Wing but really, really dull.

THINK OF THE SYNDICATION DOLLARS ALONE!!!! GOD KNOWS I AM!!!!...And thus, percoset gives the booze that extra kick! - - - George, The 7th Chicken!!!!
-
I could see Lucas taking the Western Bounty Hunter thing direction. Clint Eastwood's bounty hunters weren't really good guys and we loved them. Still, knowing that Fett ends up rotting in the belly of a giant sand worm kind of makes you not care so much.

If he's such a badass, then why was it so easy to kill him in Return of thre Jedi-- and in such a comical way (burp included)? His whole demise does not comport with the new revised theory that he was a superman.
Star Wars is dead to me too. -
Star Trek and Star Wars irony. From a geek. Star Trek came first, then star wars appeared as a big film version of space travel and aliens. Star Trek used star war's influence to become a film as well. Star was was done and disapeared after 3 films. Trek continued with a Gazillion films and a bazzilion Tv spinoffs. Star wars returned in prequal form. Star Trek films dipped off trying to be like them, Star Trek reverts to prequal form. Star wars becomes TV series. I'm going slightly mad.

this really sounds bad, but they already ruined Boba Fett anyway
by xandr37
Part of the why Boba Fett was cool was because he was mysterious. Lucas ruined that by not only giving us his background story but making him no different than the millions of stormtrooper clones. This idea sounds like that croc hunter spoof I saw that was made by a fan starring Boba Fett. I agree with the other talkbacker that a better idea would be to have a series about a young Han Solo coming up through the academy, getting kicked out, having adventures with a cameo by Lando and ending with him rescuing Chewie and thus earning the life debt.

Next time you want to diss the guy that put television back on the map... at least have the decency to get it right. It's Mark Burnett you flaming pile of Anti-Entertainment.
Let your Boba Fett come on television, and then cry like a little bitch when Survivor still pummels any Star Wars related show week after week. -
the only character that deserves to be explored any more after the travesty that is the new trilogy is through is Han Solo. plain and simple. fuck every other character, give me Han and chewy between Ep 3 and 4, or Han and Leia post ep 6. otherwise don't waste my time.

Lucas is a genius: new Star Wars to be Reality TV show.
by jar jar boinks
Impacting rumor from Skywalker Ranch says Georgie-boy's already signed and cast Kurt Angle, Triple H, Eddie, Chavo and Norman Smiley, he's gonna plop 'em on an island far, far away, and make 'em face off with light sabres for cans of Mountain Dew. He's still trying to nail the Hulkster down to an 8-figure salary to play host. C3PO gets my vote for first off the island. "The tribe has spoken, BRUTHER!!"

If Stormtroopers wearing white hoods, burning crosses and riding horseback come to save the day from Jedi Knights, will President Lord Bush wipe tears from his eyes and proclaim it "moving history"? He's a Wilsonian, just askin.

Five years ago I might've greeted this news with childlike enthusiasm. But that was before Lucas the Hutt so clearly demonstrated how much of his father's face he'd forgotten and fell off the path he'd forged for us to follow him down. There is no energy or enthusiasm or even fun to the man's fantasy anymore. Its degenerated into some mastubatory mix of obsessive compulsion and soulless cross marketing. Those first films captured the imaginations of young and old alike because it was like playing make believe with a budget. The special effects were ground breaking for the time and the sheer whimsy of the whole premise was easy to lose yourself in. But like a scab he keeps picking at them, and there was some pus in those sores even before he started tinkering. With the possible exception of Empire, the original trilogy was not well written, well acted or particularly well edited. But we have since built it up in our hearts and minds as our (encompassing multiple generations) fairy tale... our own mythology (even though it borrows heavily from everything that ever came before it). By constantly revisiting and revising, Lucas is forcing us to look back at those films much more frequently than we otherwise would and is desensitizing us to the magic the myths once created simply so he can show us how much better a particular scene would've looked if made with 21st century technology. It's not worth it. Meanwhile he's churning out even more poorly written and poorly acted prequels which seem to be intended as nothing more than two-and-a-half-hour CGI toy commercials (say what you will about the original trilogy, but they were films first and toy commercials second). I cannot bring myself to get excited about the prospect of a continuation of the mythos in any format that Lucas is involved in because I don't believe Lucas is capable of getting genuinely excited about anything anymore... except perhaps using his grotesque profits to add to his ever-growing collection of chins.

Boob Fett, the most overrated fankid "favorite" since, well, EVE
by salvatoregravano
Christ. Lucas, you fucking twerp. If that non-character Fett had not become fankids' supposed favorite (who the fuck likes this space redneck?), and instead, for example, Greedo had been the "fan idol", we'd be seeing Jangreedo and his cloned son in Episode II, no doubt.
-
Simply graft it on to an existing network franchise that's already proved its value with spin-offs: "Law & Order--Empire And Rebellion" or "CSI: A Long Time Ago In A Galaxy Far Far Away", If nothing else, cast the "Friends" in it...Rachel already has the Princess Leia outfit, hey its about as likely as this report/rumor coming true....
-
The show should be called Boba Flux and have him dying at the end of every fucking episode. Preferably falling into different stuff. The only good Trilogy was the original Star Wars Trilogy. This new stuff could have been put together into a three hour movie.
-
you know it to be true.
-
I said he died screaming like a stuck Irish pig. You think about that when the Almighty Sarlacc beats the rap.
-
You panzy-assed little cock jockeys! I can't fucken believe the bullshit I'm hearing in here! Yeah, a series based on Boba Fett would SUCK! Get the semen out of your ass and smell my boot heel! You mother fuckers are whining and whining like goddamned INFANTS about your sore fucking asshole that you claim Lucas raped! This is the mark of someone with no life whatsoever when they raise this kind of stink over a FILMMAKER! And in case you little bitches weren't aware, this "talentless hack" has made 5 OF THE TOP 20 GROSSING FILMS OF ALL TIME! So unless you little penis slurpers can claim the same, which no on on this planet can, then I guess you can go back to using your boyfriends dick like a tube of lipstick and leave the creative decisions to those WHO KNOW WHAT THE FUCK THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT! God fucking damnit I hate you little pricks!

I'm NOT complaining because of that, but because of the growing possibility that those changes ARE real after all. I can take the SEs without wincing, but if fucking Lucas really is planning to insert Christenshit over Sebastian Shaw, then I hope bin Laden hits Skywalker Ranch.

Star Trek is a prime example of how TV can kill a series, although granted ST started on TV. Ever since Voyager it is has really been overkill. Second I don't trust broadcast TV to do anything but mass appeal TV. Which means the politically correct formula. Got to have a black guy, a woman who is strong as a man, the white guy, some gay guy, and some annoying kid.

That's how much of a "cool" and "badass" character he was. Shit, for someone who supposedly doesn't care what others think, Lucas really milks Fett, whom he originally conceived as a background non-character made to be killed and forgotten in 5 minutes.

Actually, I read elsewhere it's "Birth of AN Empire" (not "THE")
by jim jam bongs
And, yes, the title alludes to the controversial "Birth of a Nation" as somebody else here joked. (Only it's not a joke.) I hope this is just a bad rumor, because this would top Jar-Jar in offensiveness. But there's one fact lending this possible title credence: Lucas is obviously inspired by D.W. Griffith. The multiple battle sequences happening at once technique seen in "Return of the Jedi" and "The Phantom Menace" are directly inspired by Griffith's work, including "Birth of a Nation".

Cool. Parker, Stone and Judge team up with the people who did the Clone Wars cartoon show to present a weekly half hour animated comedy "That's My Boba" in which a mysterious silent bounty hunter stands in the back and never says more than three lines per episode. every week a different surprise guest star is frozen in carbonite. Each week Fett's eaten by a different character from Dune. ***** By the way, Mageina Tovah (Joan Of Arcadia's Glyis Figliola) plays Gwen Stacy in the as yet untitled Spider-Man sequel. (Totally bogus; pass it on.)

Actually the new show is going to be on the Discovery channel. It's going to focus on the wild midichlorian herds of the north.

The one thing I can't understand about everyone who has a pop at George Lucas is virtually all who crib about him will still be queuing up with their Kenner toys in their pockets and plastic lightsabers at the ready to see Episode III next May.
The regular cries of childhoods being raped, etc, is incredibly pathetic.
Do you not have lives outside of
watching Star Wars over and over and over again? If the whole thing sucks so much, then why go on about it? Devote your energies to movies you enjoy for a change.
I barely paid attention to Star Wars until I saw The Empire Strikes Back Special Edition when there was nothing else on in the cinema that interested me one night seven years ago.
I enjoyed it a lot, saw the other movies quiet a bit since and on the whole enjoyed them a hell of a lot. But for the love of God, there only movies.
How Star Wars figures at the top of these 'greatest movies ever' poll beats me, but, all in all, the movies are harmless, childish fun, nothing more, nothing less.
Is Lucas making this stuff up as he goes along? Undoubtedly. Should there be less CGI and more stop motion? Of course there should.
Should he have done what he did with the original trilogy and stuck to producing which is something he's clearly better at than directing? Of course.
But do you know what? It doesn't matter what the hell we think, even though it appears that Lucas relegated Jar Jar because of the overwhelmingly negative reaction to the character in the fallout from Episode I.
Whether we like it or not, Star Wars is his to do with what he pleases, even if that means even more changes to the original trilogy.
The only legitimate change would be inserting Ian McDiarmid as the Emperor in The Empire Strikes Back, but that's just my two cents.
And another thing - anyone that harps on about the quality of acting and dialogue in Star Wars needs their head examined.
The standard of acting and dialogue in both trilogies has never risen above pantomime standard and in that respect alone, both trilogies are on the same level.
But I have to agree - a TV series would be a really bad idea. Young Indiana Jones was well made but hardly memorable. As with Indy IV, which I think we could probably do without, this TV show idea should be binned at light speed. -

by full_time_killer
Give me the Kevin J. Anderson Boba Fett origin story anyday of the week. The dude almost gets to shag Princess Leia but turns her down because he is hardcore. I think his codpiece must vibrate or something. Shadows of the Empire should be made into a movie by someone who actually knows how to make movies. Maybe the books were so good because they were written by people who actually can write. Return of the Starkiller has got to be the worst written document since Magna Carta. Sure I love the dude's vision; but he really needs to learn to spell. (assuming 'the bogan force' was a typo)
-
There was a show called "Young Indiana Jones Adventures"? Anyway, I'm at the "Why Not?"- Stage of my life now, so sure, what the hell. I think we've all been shown nothing's "sacred". This is just a series of movies many of us love and enjoy. I don't want to sound like one of these cool, masculine men who's precious childhood memories were ruined by the prequels. But if it sucks, Georgey deserves to be stuck in that killer bacta tank that Harry's seen in at the upper left-hand corner.

Get over your meager lives and get over Star Wars. Those of us who have more to say about it than "I hate that Greedo shoots first." or "Lucas needs to be shot." are over your attitude. It's come to the point of being obnoxious as well as worrysome to me that some of you just won't let this go. Bottom line people, if you hate it soooooo much, move along, nothing to see here, leave us in peace. It was far more fun to be a Star Wars fan before all the crying started. We know what you hate about it, yet you come here day after day and repeat the same dribble over and over. You must enjoy arguments that you can't win, because the people who still like Star Wars aren't going to change their minds over your shallow, repeated, tired arguments for why something we like sucks to you. Take a hike and find something constructive to do. Maybe you could get on that big budget Sci-Fi extravaganza you all have bottled up that's supposedly going to blow Lucas out of the water. I'm waiting bitches.

given the massiveness and freeness of stuff on the internet, I think it only makes sense that a full scale war is waged on george luca$. I don't think I need to explain why this should be done, people who would agree with me already know why.
All I'm going to say is that georgie doesn't seem to be getting the hint, so let's hit him where it hurts and see if we can make him cry, cry like metallica over napster style.
I'm doing my part by never watching clone wars on television (neilson ratings and what not) downloading all movies, preparing to download his future bastardizations of what was an awesome trilogy, never shelling out a dime that could in some way go to him, and spreading the message wherever I can.
to review:
1) download everything lucas becomes affiliated with and share it with friends (burned CD's and whatnot)
2) change the channel when somethine lucas related comes on, no matter how much you may want to watch it at that particular moment. (have a smoke or drink of water or something, you'll be ok.)
3) don't give him any of your money. he's an idiot and he's got enough.
So if you get me, it's revenge of the nerds all over again. if you don't ...i dunno... watch that episode of south park "free hat" until you do. star wars belongs to us, and lucas is a cock. -
Could be very cool if done right , . . i'd tune in , who would n't
Pleasse .....you so would!!!
