I don't know if this was mentioned yet, but last month Lucas made people sign an NDA not talking about Episodes 7,8,9.

 

Anyways, now some info was finally told to us about those episodes!

and there's even a Star Wars TV show in the runs!

I certainly don't mind if it's high quality like Firefly, Stargate Atlantis, etc. Hopefully it will be something original and not pertain to the big story .

Indeed! Sounds good to me!

 

I just hope GL doesn't botch it...

Sounds promising, I just wish that they follow the EU and dont make a new storyline.

 

Personally, I hope they do at least a session of the NJO, against the Vong.

 

I just hope that the TV series doesn't screw with the rest of Star Wars with either bad characters, actors or storylines.

Haha.. its a TV series - of course it will have bad characters, actors, and storylines. Just hope the good characters, actors, storylines outweigh the bad ones.

 

Anyway, looks like there's still lots to come after Episode 3. Lucas can keep milking the Star Wars cow for another decade or more.

If the TV show is based on the EU it can perhaps pull it off but... wait and see.

PBP on 7,8,9? I cant seem to DL the file for it.

Very, very good news indeed!!!

If Lucas makes Episodes VII, IIX, and IX, he'll ruin everything that authors have written. How do I know this? In the latest Insider there is mention about the possibility of a third trillogy, and the writer states that the "Eu is not how George Lucas envisioned the continuation of the Star Wars saga". In short, it's not what Lucas wanted, so he'll write his own.

I haven't read any SW novels but from what I've heard of several aspects of the EU, it often isn't what I had expected either...

He should base the hole thing on the EU. Tempted to write to himn to tell him that but surely wouldn't make much difference.

Probably not. You could try to find minds of similar inclination and open a petition online, though...

We should open one on the site.

Outside of the original Zahn Trilogy, I've been generally dissapointed with the EU. There always seems to be a tendency for each author to out-do the other, by adding more and more Jedi or ridiculous stories. The NJO has been enjoyable, but has had to deal with the stupidity of the earlier novels. The fact that the novels were not written in any particular order or by the same writers has let to glaring discrepancies not just with the films, but also within the EU books themselves.

Yes but some books such as the X-Wing series are great and would make a very good TV series.

I too would have liked to see the X-Wing series and Zahn's novels as either movies or TV series. But it is simply not going to happen since lately Lucas believes himself to be the greatest author ever and won't let anyone else's ideas interfere with him. I'm waiting for the day when he does all the acting himself.

Of course, we're not sure whether the EU is going to be the subject of the television series... It might well be earky years of Han Solo or Boba Fett, to name another possibility...

I guess a serie about Boba would be good. In any case it couldn't be worse than the Bounty Hunter series.

Bounty hunter series of books? How were those...are they worth picking up?

Three novels called "The Bounty Hunter wars". Far from being the best SW books.

Boba Fett: The teenage years:

 

En route to Vagran Boba discovers a change in his face: pimples; he aborts his run to Tatooine and makes a emergency visit to the nearest dermatologists, there he discoveres Han Solo who has the same problems. How will the epic confrontation end?

 

A few weeks later his hormones play another dirty trick on him, on Corellia he discovers that he likes girls. A young human catches his eye, but will a single female stop Boba in his quest to become the greatest Bounty Hunter ever?

So that's why we never saw the older Boba without his helmet...

Adult Acné, not even the power of the Dark Side can heal it.

But hopefully his stay in the Sarlacc will have cured the problem.

Yeah, but it'll take 1,000 years...

Pity he decided to end the treatment before it finished
