Star Wars: Coming Soon to a Television Near You!


.....Maybe.

The rumor mills over at Cinelinx have been working overtime. The word going around (and has been for some time) is that Disney is in the early planning stages of a Star Wars live action TV series.

However, this time around there are a few more details that give us a glimmer of hope that this might actually be happening.

IF this is really happening, it seems the show runners are holding off on starting until the movie releases have been worked out. The most reasonable explanation for this is that since the series will film at Pinewood Studios, they want to do this in between movie shoots to utilize sets, props and costumes that already exist, thereby saving them some serious budget expenses. That in and of itself, is no small feat. It involves scheduling the show shoots within limited timetables between each feature film, as well as making sure to keep the show linear to the continuity of the films, books, animated shows and comics. Like I said, this is no small feat.

Also, from the sound of things it appears that the show won't feature many of the prominent movie characters as regulars, instead using some lesser known ones, or possibly characters from the new EU.

So, what do you think? Is this just some more hot air or does it hold some water?
