50 Hours of Star Wars scripts written

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

http://io9.com/5806117/no-george-lucas-does-not-have-50-hours-of-a-live+action-star-wars-tv-show-in-the-can

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'm thinking of clone wars too. i've heard a lot of bad poo about that garbage.

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.

    • It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.  
    • Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.  
    • I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
