And you thought this Star Wars TV Series wasn't going to happen. Maybe you're right. But according to Entertainment Weekly's Hollywood Insider blog, George Lucas will be leaving the bunker in order to meet with the writers that have been selected to pen the series. Apparently, these mysterious writers are all "freelancers" and George seems to also be interested in introducing a little international flavah by hiring writers from outside the U.S. Novel!
Of course, this is all fine and dandy and really interesting, but there's still no specifics as to what the series will actually be about. Wookies in love? Skywalker family feud? That little cantina on Tatooine where the aliens sometimes wanted to go because everybody knew their name even if they sometimes lost a hand?
Fans desperately want to believe that the series will concern the happenings between Episode 3 and 4. Question is: what exactly would that entail? The Young Han Solo Chronicles. No, please. A tween drama about a fiesty Alderaanian princess and her buddies who have slumber parties and fix each other's hair up in buns while talking about the cute boy from Tatooine who would later wind up to be a sibling? Stop. (But I can't! My fingers keep typing!) Maybe it's the tale of Chewy before Han and how he and a fellow Wookie worked at a nearby factory producing that funny blue milk stuff. Everyday, they'd skip to work and sing a song about the factory where they worked. Watch as Chewy places his sash across one of the bottles and laughs as it makes its way down the factory line. Sigh. Maybe they could call in Ty Pennington and do an Extreme Home Makeover on the Lars Family homestead.
Meh.
