Lucasfilm Animation Disbanding

TF.N's Eric Geller has reported that "I have spoken to another source close to Lucasfilm Animation who confirmed to me that the division will be proceeding with layoffs. This person stressed that fans should still expect to see the promised story arcs from The Clone Wars' canned sixth season, but reiterated that this and other changes at Lucasfilm were part of a reorientation of the company toward Episode VII and Sequel-related work."

It is sad to see such a great team get separated. I hope they can retain some of the great talents that have brought us The Clone Wars over the years.

EW's Capetown Film Festival

Entertainment Weekly sent in an e-mail today and announced that they will launch the Entertainment Weekly CapeTown Film Festival (CapeTown) in conjunction with American Cinematheque and sponsored by TNT’s Falling Skies.

The festival will run from Tuesday, April 30th through Sunday, May 5th at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood, CA. The EW CapeTown Film Festival will offer sci-fi, super-hero, and fantasy fans the opportunity to see their favorites on the big screen, and hear from the visionaries and biggest stars from the genre who have brought them to life.

The EW CapeTown Film Festival will make its super-heroic debut with a six-day event featuring fan favorite films, including some that will be returning to the big screen for the first time in many years, alongside rare live Q&A panels with their filmmakers – and a surprise or two. Panels will be hosted by Entertainment Weekly senior writers Geoff Boucher, Jeff Jensen and others. A highlight of the festival will be a very special “May the Fourth Be with You” screening of Return of the Jedi on Saturday, May 4th. The screening celebrates the film’s 30th anniversary and will be one of the few times since 1997 that moviegoers can experience it on the big screen. “We’re thrilled to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Return of the Jedi with a screening at the Egyptian - the very same theatre where it premiered in May, 1983,” said Bill Gannon, Managing Editor, EW.com.

Episode VII: The Sith Strike Back

Cosmic Book News has a cool Star Wars Episode VII rumor. Their source states that:
  • Star Wars Episode VII will be set 30 years after Episode VI: Return of the Jedi
  • It will indeed feature the Skywalker/Solo children coming to the peak of their powers
  • The Jedi Order has been rebuilt with Luke Skywalker as Grand Master
  • A disciple of Emperor Palpatine aims to rebuild the Sith Armies of the Old Republic and destroy the Jedi where the Skywalker children will be thrust into battle and face their inner demons of their Skywalker lineage.

This all sounds very plausible to me and I expected the story to take place about 30 years out. So we will keep this a rumor for now until we have more information.
