Galaxies Realm

Is there any news on the live action series? I know it supposed to occur between Episodes 3 and 4 and focus on minor characters, but does anyone have news or updates?

There not much known at this point, other than it'll come next year and possibly involve bounty hunters. Here's the Wookieepedia page on it: Star Wars live-action TV series (probably has SPOILERS).

I wouldn't be surprised if the droid duo made cameo appearances, or Obi-wan or even Darth Vader. I remember reading somewhere a while back that that was the plan.

It's also rumored that Daniel Logan (who played the young Boba Fett in ATOC) may reprise is role for the show.

That'll be cool if it true. I somehow expected the series to be about Boba Fett or otehr bounty hunters.

i want to see the show, but i hope lucas doesn't screw it up at the same time... i hope it doesn't have forced love scenes!

Amen! Let's hope the show doesn't feel contrived in any way.

According to this io9 article, they are looking for writers. And also from the sounds of it, they are gonna film it in Australia too.

I hope the show does involve Boba Fett, he's a pretty cool character. I also hope they include or at least show Quinlan Vos.

That's cool information, and yes, I hope the show involves Boba Fett.

Personally, I hope Lucas follows through with a less action idea and more of a talky, character driven premise, I think the live action show could be something special. Talky, like the first half of A New Hope is, that is (I think Lucas said he was gonna do it that way).

That's exactly how I'd like to see the live action series. I've always loved the first half of the original film so much because it slowed things down and in turn emphasized a more naturalistic sense of character interaction. Perhaps more-so than in any of the following movies, the characters in the first half of A New Hope seem to feel the most "real." I'd also add that Tatooine as portrayed in the original film feels a great deal more distant and alien than other Saga locations.

Here's hoping that Lucas follows through with a character driven show.

I don't think it will be all talk or all bounty hunter stuff. I'm sure they will find plenty of stories in which to explore. I mean, they have said that they would like to do different series focusing on different people, didn't they? Would they put 2 or 3 same kind of TV shows on the air?

I hope not... but then again there are 3 Law and Orders, 3 CSIs and now 3 Stargates. Still, I don't see them putting on two different series unless they were set in different time periods.

I could see them doing multiple shows at the same time, just following different story lines. Something like Star Trek was doing back in the 90s.

You know, that's how I feel. None of the scenes on Tatooine in ANH never felt contrived in any way. Everything feels so fluid and natural. Instead of actors seeming aware of the fact they're in front of a camera etc, rather it truly feels like the characters are real. Mundane elements make everything feel that much more believable as well as having scenes at dawn, dusk, night and in all weathers. After the OT I felt like scenes have become a little more contrived, rather than just letting things flow as if they were done on the fly (though well prepared). Watching the scenes flowing from the Jundland Wastes, to the Dune Sea... it has about the same effect of finding yourself on Mars. It's one of the reasons ANH is my favorite of the six films.
