The next incarnation of the famed Star Wars franchise is going to be as an animated sitcom.

Lucasfilm announced Monday that Robot Chicken creators Seth Green and Matthew Senreich are going to be involved in the new project, along with Daily Show writer Brendan Hay.

The company says the series will look at the saga's characters with a "playful and irreverent tone."

"The Star Wars universe is so dense and rich; it's crazy to think that there aren't normal, mundane everyday problems in a world so well-defined," said Green. "And it's even crazier to think of what those problems might be, since it's all set in a galaxy far, far away. What do these characters do when they're not overthrowing Empires?"

I truly do not get Lucas... why do this when there's SO many other things he could do? Why not do more films...

Seth McFarland should be involved. But yeah, biscuit, not sure what Lucas is thinking. Get some people that can write a screenplay, direct and act and get it done! Hell even Sy Fy channel can do some good TV. I didn't watch Battlestar Galactica (just couldn't get into it) but the show looked very good and with Skywalker Ranch behind it, they could do almost anything, but a sitcom? stupid.

This is where I stopped reading. No, just no. None of his shows are funny anymore.

He said in an interview that he had many movie ideas floating around his head, non Star Wars & Indiana Jones related. So???? As long as it's not American Grafitti related, they might prove to be worthy.
