2010 another Star Wars series

[killersheep]

Ok I know I'm way behind the curve here. Apparently, George Lucas is putting a new Star Wars series on HBO. The time frame is in between
Episode III and Episode IV. Lucas himself described it as "Deadwood
meets the Sopranos in space". The main thrust of the show is the gaining
of power of the empire and the subsequent hunting down the jedi. Most
of the focus of this show is from minor characters in the movies and novels. I'm not sure how I feel about this, I'm glad that Star Wars is
finally going the direction of a more adult audience. At the same time,
Episode I was one of the biggest dissapointments of all time for me.
If Jar Jar Binks even has a minor role, I might not watch it.

No this is going to be live action, HBO style (more adult) themed.

just not cool.Trying to bleed a stone with this one Lucas is... at the very least it should not be called 'star wars'.Getting my geekiness all riled up.....

Oh and FUCK a jar-jar.Like tying an anchor to an 'ok' concept and watching it sink to the bottom 1st time out...sold out for the cutsie-kiddie POV there.

I don't think it's getting blood from a stone/beating a dead horse etc.

There are 100s of games/graphic novels/books and cartoons that all expand the universe and have made it more than just the films anyway.
