50 Hours of Star Wars scripts written

This is from May but I hadn't heard anything about it....:jc:

Earlier this week, Lucas gave the media a big update about the progress of his mysterious live-action Star Wars TV show, which is rumored to be set between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope. In the interview, with Attack Of The Show, Lucas said:

We have 50 hours and we're just waiting to figure out a different way of making movies, a different technology we can use ... to make it feasible to shoot the show...When we do figure this problem out it will dramatically affect a lot of movies. Right now it looks like the Star Wars features.

This quote sparked a lot of rumors that Lucas had actually managed to film 50 hours of live-action Star Wars television. Which seemed unlikely, because there's no way even a Jedi Knight could pull off that feat without anybody knowing it was happening. And it's way too soon.

But we decided to check with Lucasfilm directly, to find out for sure. And a Lucasfilm PR rep confirmed that Lucas was only talking about 50 hours' worth of scripts that had been written. Nothing has been filmed yet.

If true, 50 hours is just over 2 seasons of shows. Think it will happen?

I saw this too a couple months ago. I think it will, it would be a huge cash cow for him and he doesn't really have much else going on since the last indian jones movie, so it makes since from a "he's got the time to do it" perspective.

another poorly written piece of trash that will only undermine the star wars cannon

I would like to see it, and I would watch it, but PSC has a point. If Lucas is doing the writing then it may well suck. He had a great idea and all, but he at very least needs to let someone else direct it. If it turns out anything like the writing in the prequels it will be total poo.

I've watched a pretty good amount of the Clone Wars and it's just OK. Story wise, it does not really fit with Canon of the movies that well. I've always thought that he should go to post ROTJ for new stories... either that, or go way back in the Old Republic. Anytime you go writing stuff in between the movie timelines, you risk screwing things up.

Best thing Lucas could do for the story is let a guy like Timothy Zahn or Drew Karpyshyn write it and sit back and collect royalties, but he's not gonna do that.

if it can't stay true to cannon, then its nothing more than glorified fan fic.

I'd watch the poo out of it. It be better if he concentrated on smaller stories within the Star Wars canon. I've got faith that somewhere GL can still craft a quality story and hopefully he can do it with this show.
