Star Wars fans and faithful followers of the almighty George Lucas . . . Freeze! Despite the rumors circulating around cyberspace, the Star Wars creator does not–I repeat, DOES NOT–secretly have fifty produced and completed episodes of a Star Wars TV show hiding in his basement. Anywhere.
However, he does have fifty completed scripts that could potentially be developed into a television series. Does that make any of you who are at one with The Force feel any better? It does me. I’m not a super huge Star Wars guy, but a TV series would prove to be extremely epic. So what’s he waiting for? Fifty completed scripts, a world of actors that would jump at the chance to wield a lightsaber, and the certain prospects of a boatload of cash . . . sounds like Lucas has everything a producer/director could ask for, right?
Not exactly.
Spokespeople for Lucasfilms say that Lucas “is waiting for a different type of technology to use so it’s economically feasible to shoot the shows.”
This is certainly something that has gotten Star Wars fans all hyped up. Right now, thousands upon thousands of people are squirming in their office chairs–possibly hopping up and down with craziness–thinking to themselves What, what, what are you freaking waiting for! Just film them! Please, please, please!
Chances are the director and his studio are waiting for a cheaper form of CGI, one that can deliver epic-ness without epically draining their wallet. I personally believe he’s waiting for real spaceships and people who can actually shove apples across the table with their minds (wait, everyone here at CDL can do that).
Force be with you all.
