    Woo-Hooo!! :yay: So, in George Lucas speak, how long is 'soon'?

    Lucas planning TV spinoff of ‘Star Wars’
    Director says live-action series will focus on minor characters

    LOS ANGELES - The Force may soon be coming to a television near you.

    George Lucas is planning a live-action television series spinoff of the “Star Wars” film franchise.

    Lucas told The Los Angeles Times he has “just begun work” on the series, which will not include the films’ major characters Luke Skywalker or Darth Vader.

    “The Skywalkers aren’t in it, and it’s about minor characters,” Lucas told the Times on Tuesday.

    Lucas wouldn’t reveal details, but joked that the series would be about “the life of robots.”

    Lucas, 63, already has another television series in the works. Lucasfilm Animation has been working for months on the computer-animated “Star Wars: The Clone Wars.”

    Perhaps we will finally get to hear the untold story of Jar Jar's years in the Senate. It will have the all of character depth of Jar Jar, coupled with the intrigues of life in a large bureaucracy *and* the intricacies of senatorial rules.

    Awesome.

    Everyone should be happy that George is hiring writters to pen the script for the TV show. George has great ideas. But his time as a writer has passed. Just listen the lines in the TPM.

    Compared to the insipid cartoons I see on Saturday mornings, the ewok show was a quality show. I could be thinking of the movie they happened to show on TV, not the animated series.

    ??Yoda. I hate how he talks. JarJar too. And that BillyDee Williams guy. I hated him so much I don't even remember his name. And that flying around guy who owned Ani's mom.
