Star Wars Live Action Series-Australia

Sci-Fi-Australia has an article stating:

"Rumours about the pre-production of Star Wars, the live action series, to be shot in Australia, have been confirmed by several inside sources.

The quality and style of writing that will be used will be of the highest quality, and local, and writers will be sourced from outside traditional Science Fiction shows. Several big names within the Australian industry (including writers from the Award-winning Love My Way and the Award-winning Secret Life of Us) have been approached by Star Wars uber-producer, Rick McCallum.

Love My Way and Secret Life of Us can be characterised by the focus on relationships and emotional landscapes (traditional 'chick shows', if you will). Bringing this element into the world of Star Wars sees a marked departure of the final three films and animated Clone Wars, where the primary audience was children.

This throws the new series into a whole new spotlight, and should excite fans of the Star Wars universe looking towards more adult fare.

More solidification of rumour into fact will come as soon as possible."

I hope that Comic-Con will finally start to reveal a little information about this new series.

Anthony Daniels Interview-Part 3

Our good friend Mark from Lightasabre has provided the third and final part of the three part interview with Anthony Daniels who is best know for his role as C-3PO.

Q - Well now that you're doing the Clone Wars Threepio's adventures can continue throughout that time period and possibly on to other shows, are you pleased about that, are you happy to be his voice again?

A - I'm very pleased, I'm pleased they look so good.  The artwork on those cartoons is terrific.  The scripts are going to get even better.  We've talked a lot about the storylines.  I'm very, very happy.  The film had a bit too much gunfire action for my taste, but I'm not the target audience really so hopefully they will become a little more...not cerebral, not intellectual but a little less bang-bang.

Be sure to read the entire third part of this interview!

I would like to wish them continued success and here is to another 10 years! Congratulations Mark and Lightsabre! Take a look at where Lightsabre began:

Daily Video Clip

Today's new video clip in the Movies Section is the Fan Film entitled Tales of the New Republic. It was a film released with much anticipation on May 25, 2007. There was a lot of speculation at the time that this film was a trailer for The Clone Wars 2008 series. It was actually a class project at The Digital Animation & Visual Effects School in Orlando, FL and I am sure it was done to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Star Wars. The film plays like an animated trailer for a possible new series and is very well done. A must see! You can find this video in the Fan Films section. Enjoy!

Televised Star Wars At Comic-Con

The Official Star Wars Site has announced that Lucasfilm Ltd. and G4 are joining forces for a milestone in San Diego Comic-Con International's 40-year history -- the first-ever, exclusive television broadcast of a presentation from the massive pop culture convention. The Star Wars Spectacular! will air Saturday July 25th at 2:00pm ET/PT only on G4, and will feature never-before-seen footage, breaking news, surprise announcements, guest stars and more. In addition, G4 will present three hours of live coverage from the Comic-Con floor, beginning at 4:00pm ET/PT.

Traditionally, details surrounding Lucasfilm's primary panel presentation are closely guarded secrets, with only 6,500 lucky on-site fans allowed access to the wealth of coveted information from a galaxy far, far away. But this year, G4 -- the network that delivers all of the latest and greatest news on comic books, games, technology and pop culture -- is offering TV viewers the one-of-a-kind opportunity to share the excitement with an exclusive broadcast of the panel. G4's Attack of the Show hosts Kevin Pereira and Olivia Munn will join Lucasfilm's Steve Sansweet and a galaxy of guests from Star Wars: The Clone Wars and beyond -- including supervising director Dave Filoni, and voice talent from the show -- to provide an insider look at the Star Wars universe, with never-before-seen footage and a LIVE table read of an exclusive new Clone Wars script.

In addition, fans are invited to participate in the panel itself by submitting Clone Wars questions through a special G4 micro-site. Questions will be answered during the live presentation by Dave Filoni and other Clone Wars creatives!

2009's Comic-Con International also marks another Lucasfilm milestone -- the launch of the all-new Star Wars Stories Project. Fans of the Saga will have the unique opportunity to become a part of the Star Wars universe by contributing to Lucasfilm's own historical archive. Soliciting movie memories and nostalgia, the Star Wars Stories Project invites fans to share their own tales of fandom through video testimonials. In addition to online submissions, fans will have the opportunity to record their stories at Lucasfilm's pavilion on the Comic-Con floor.

Fans are invited to upload their fan stories at g4tv.com/comiccon. The two-hour special broadcast will be hosted by G4's Olivia Munn and Kevin Pereira.
