George Lucas & Co. are not done
yet..
Some time in 2008 we should be getting our first 1-hour show of the
yet untitled "Star Wars TV".
100 TV shows are to be made for TV
dealing with the years in between Episode III and IV.
Only Anthony Daniels
of the currently known actors have so far (April 2006) signed on.
The series is supposed
to deal with characters we have not seen before or have just seen in
the background... (can anyone say Boba Fett by the time you get to
show #50 or so...)
Spoof:
Make SURE you check out the "TROOPS"
section at theforce.net for a nice spin on the TV show "Cops". Trust
me, you'll never look the same at an Imperial Stormtrooper again.

The internet
is full Star Wars webbies. In my humble opinion, only two are grand
and good enough to spend time at. They are:
www.theforce.net and, of course, the ultimate power in cyberia on this topic, the Official
Star Wars site. |

If you don't know it already, I'll
run it by you really quick:
The movie known as "Star Wars" is, in the greater scheme of things
actually chapter four in a six part saga, possibly entitled "The
adventures of Luke Skywalker's taken from the Journal of the Whills."
The original scripts were written in the early 70s of which
the first complete one is about "Starkiller" and that entire script
- in all it's hoakeyness - is available for you to read right
here.
Chapter 4 is entitled "A New Hope." Chapter 5 is "The Empire
Strikes Back" and chapter 6 then becomes "Return of the Jedi".
"A New Hope" was first released on May 25th, 1977 and then
later in a re-hashed version called the "Special Edition" for the
flick's 20:th anniversary on January 31st 1997. The Special Editions
for "Empire" and "Jedi" followed in three-week intervals thereafter.
Episodes I, II and III are so-called prequels. This means they take
place before the events of "the original Star Wars movie" (Episode
IV "A New Hope").
Episode I is called "The Phantom Menace" and takes place 30
years before the events of "the original Star Wars. It chronicles
the events of how Anakin Skywalker was discovered and the
re-emergence of the Sith.
Episode II is named "Attack of the Clones" and takes place 10
years later. It tells the story of how the now 19 year-old Anakin
falls in love with the former queen of Naboo, Padme Nabierre. They
marry in the final moment of the movie. The back drop are the events
leading up to and the beginning of the Clone Wars.
Episode III takes place exactly 3 years later at the
tail end of the Clone Wars, it is called "Revenge of the Sith" and
tells the story of how Anakin succumbs to the dark side, how Vader
became Vader, how Padme dies and how the Jedi are (mostly) wiped
out.
