[edit] Did he or did he not 'save' the character?

In a section it says Lucas told the creators of 'Star Wars: Republic' to save Vos...then afterwards the paragraph disagrees...so which is correct? - Sigurd

I removed the contradictory (and unreferenced) statement. Hotdoglives 23:06, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Feel free to add any information you find.

This page will be a very much developing page over the next few years. Feel free to add any facts, rumors, or anything else you find out about this series. Also post any comments or suggestions you have for the development of this, or any of the other star wars spin-off films pages here. The Wookieepedian 06:40, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] "Supershadow" the next Director?

I read that George Lucas will direct Season 1, and "hand it off" to someone else during Seasons 2-4 (not sure what it said exactly). I think I read somewhere that a "Supershadow" will direct 2-4, and perhaps even film sequels (Episodes 7-9). Please post to User_Talk:Shultz if you have any pertinent information.

SuperShadow is one of the biggest liars on the net. He has made hundreds of claims since the beginning of the prequels claiming he is friends with George Lucas himself. Shadow has even contradicted himself many times. The guy seems to really enjoy lying to the star wars community. There won't be a 7, 8, or 9, either directed by Lucas or SuperShadow, just this TV series. SuperShadow is just some loser named Mickey Suttle. He is hated at the worst level by most of us fans who know the truth behind his lies. Check out Supershadow for more information on this moron. Adamwankenobi 04:28, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] B-101

Do you know of any rumors that the series might follow a character through Imperial recruitment and training?- B-101 16:16, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

No, I haven't heard these rumors, but I'll add them to the list. At this early stage, any rumors are good rumors, and fair game, with the way Lucas and crew change their minds! Adamwankenobi 21:11, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

You could potentially have Biggs Darklighter's recruitment, training, and ship-jumping. I mean, that happened JUST before episode IV. In fact, in the novelization and comic book, Biggs meets Luke and tells him all about it before Luke leaves Tatooine. Pumeleon 23:22, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

The only problem with this rumor is just that its a rumor. Any rumors about the show should not be included in the article, But thats just my opinon. Cinco555 17:59, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Exaggerating just a little?"

100 episodes? How could there be 100 episodes?It would cost a fortune and not even george lucas I think could pay for that.

Actually, this has been confirmed by Rick McCallum to be that long. The effects and money spent of course won't be nearly as much as with the films. So, yes 100 episodes is realistic. Adamwankenobi 21:09, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
Oh, ok but wouldn't that take years to make,a lot of years.
The show is supposedly going to last four seasons, 25 episodes per season. It would be made similar to Battlestar Galactica or Enterprise or something. It would use the technology that show uses and techniques. Lucas even claims he's going to film it using consumer-level cameras, so, yeah, it could probably be made in a short time with a lower budget, like all the other major sci-fi shows. Adamwankenobi 16:43, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
Okay, we need a source for this or I am removing the 100 episodes. The show hasn't even started to be made yet so there is no guarantee that it will run for this long. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia and is for facts, not speculations. Ben W Bell 08:14, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
The source is linked to in the external links. Rick McCallum, the show's producer, said at the ROTS DVD press event that George envisions "somewhere around 100 hours between episode three and four." The Wookieepedian 09:33, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
What is actually said is

"He envisions somewhere like 100 hours between Episode III and Episode IV with a lot of characters that we haven't met but have been developed in other novels and other things," McCallum said.

This doesn't actually mean the series will for definite be 100 episodes long. It may only run for a 24 episode series, it may run for four series, you cannot predict that and put it as fact in an encyclopaedia. I'm amending the page to reflect this. Ben W Bell 10:49, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Separating fact from fiction

Do not add rumors or speculation to this page without including a source. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Coffee 20:06, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

See the policy page Wikipedia:No original research. If the facts, opinions, or arguments you want to include have not been published already by a credible or reputable publication, you're engaged in original research. If you want to include these rumors, they should be backed up by a source to give them some credibility. If these are rumors started by 13 year-olds on message boards, then they do not belong on Wikipedia. Coffee 20:57, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
Also see WP:NOT: "Articles that present extrapolation, speculation, and "future history" are original research and therefore inappropriate. Of course, we do and should have articles about notable artistic works, essays, or credible research that embody predictions." If these rumors are found "all over the internet", provide just one credible source if you include them. Coffee 21:02, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
Again, please do not put baseless speculation in this article. Taken direcly fron WP:NOT: "Articles that present extrapolation, speculation, and "future history" are original research and therefore inappropriate." Coffee 18:33, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] No shes dead....I SAID SHES DEAD!!!!

Ayla Secura is dead she will not return,it is rumored the actor will return but definently dead. Lucas would never do this. How would the scene open after bieng shot to the ground 27-33 times Ayla rises "what the hell just happened"?!..........no, if shes alive then so is Mace Windu, Kit Fisto and Zett! -Anonymous

You don't know that. If you'll remember, in ROTS, as she was being shot, the camera went behind a huge leaf. This leaves it open. Adamwankenobi 08:46, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
Don't be silly, Adam. She's dead. Coffee 18:35, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
Wait until Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith --- DVD Special Edition comes out :-) -Anonymous
You know, it really wouldn't surprise me. He would do it just to cater to the fans, and for the $$$$. The Wookieepedian 01:08, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
I suppose none of you have heard of a little storytelling device known as a flashback...

disengager 03:40, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

Possibly... The Wookieepedian 20:43, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

Guys, chill out! Lets hope Aayla has a sister who is AT LEAST as attractive as Aayla herself was. Fanmail George Lucas today. Millions will be glad you did. --Shultz 01:55, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

The three most attractive SW girls: Padme, Young Beru, and Aayla! The Wookieepedian 03:25, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

to the dude up there they shot her like 20- 30 times how about i shoot you 20-30 times and see if a pan behind a leaf saves you !!!

[edit] Is there any truth to the TheForce.net rumor?

What is this about a post-Episode 6 TV series being filmed, with an aging Luke Skywalker? This show is confirmed as being in between Episodes 3 and 4. And production won't start for a while either. I think the TheForce.net article is total BS. I say it should be removed. --Hotdoglives 06:47, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

That's the great thing about it. We can put it in the article saying that it is a fact that TF.N reported it, but not that the actual rumor is true. I feel that anything reported by TF.N is notable, isnce they are one of the most trustedfan sites out there. The Wookieepedian 06:50, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
I removed the rumor, as in the end, I was a little uncomfortable reporting something unofficial like that. I've now removed ALL non-official reports from the article. The Wookieepedian 10:44, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] One Victory

According to the official Chronology, the alliance won several battle before a New Hope. But only small victories, not major ones. I think this entry should edited to show that.

OK. But where is the source for this? The Wookieepedian 20:40, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] What about Yoda's comments to Obi-Wan at the end of Ep. III?

He mentions that Qui-Gon has returned from "the netherworld of the force" and can teach Obi-Wan in a form of communication Yoda will teach him. This statement has no reference to the original trilogy, so it's possible we will see such training in the TV series. 06:57, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[[Thank You and why is lucas doing to the STAR WARS just why wold he do thismathadees]]

what about when ob1 appears to luke on hoth and tells him to goto the degobah system. To name but a few times that dead jedi appear as ghosts and communicate !!!!!!!

[edit] Bounty Hunter? Hmmm,I wonder who he means?

In the main artical under the story section in the first paragraph the following sentence exists---

      "In a recent interview, when asked about the show, McCallum replied, "Think about bounty hunter, that’s all I can tell you.""

I wonder who he means, did someone pull a Vader or Greivious style stunt here and bring Jango Fett back after episodeII or did McCallum mean Boba, or someone totally diffrent?

I think Boba's origin will further be delved into.

How about Kyle Katarn?

Katarn was never a bounty hunter. He was a mercenary for hire. - Dizrythmia —Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.88.183.103 (talk) 06:20, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Has production started yet?

Any information will be apprecieated. Fergananim 16:39, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

  • I seriously doubt that production has begun, as it has been pushed back until '09. I really don't think that it would be two years until it came out if prodution just started. Also, it may get delayed more, as in a recent interview, Lucas said that there is possily another animated series, like the 3D one, that will come out before this. I would deffinately say that there is a very good chance that it will be about '10 before this comes out, but please Lucas prove me wrong! Supergeeky1 08:01, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Anthony Daniels

It says it is confirmed that Anthony Daniels has signed on to play C3PO once more. However, I would like to point out the fact that the same site had once reported that Harrison Ford had been approached by Lucas to do another Star Wars movie. I still don't believe that it is officialy confirmed. You would think StarWars.com would be reporting this, but they have yet to say anything about it. So I wonder if this should actually be said it is confirmed. Supergeeky1 04:27, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] References

I tried to add a couple for you, not much but I hope it helps! RobHoitt 00:10, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, but I reverted your edits. Other Wikipedia articles are not much good for references. As for the If Magazine reference, that information was already included within the article's other references. Hotdoglives 03:45, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Daniel Logan

At the recent FanExpo in Toronto, he denied anything about playing Boba Fett. According to him, no one's ever approached him about this, and the reference towards this point in the article doesn't say anything about Daniel being asked by Lucas; it says very clearly that George is thinking about maybe including Boba Fett. Same with Tem. They'd both love to do it, but no one's said anything to them about it. Perhaps someone should think about not making inferences from a text, because that's a pretty damn big leap to make from George's comment.. Howa0082 18:23, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Teaser poster

Does anyone have a copy of the Toy Fair poster that is straight-on (not at an angle)? I think it would be suitable as a temporary image for the article until we get a more permanent poster or logo. Hotdoglives 04:18, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Thank you Photoshop. Any objections to the current revision? Hotdoglives 02:47, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed Episode Numbers?

Yeah, 400 episodes would be between 16 and 32 years of this show. Bad whoever. Very bad. *newspaper whack* Howa0082 05:51, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:SW TV teaser.jpg

Image:SW TV teaser.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Constantly Mentioned

Okay, it's a bit annoying - it seems EVERY OTHER PARAGRAPH says "Lucas mentioned that main characters may make cameo appearences" --98.193.61.220 (talk) 03:10, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Expanded Universe" ???

Noticed in the opening paragraph that this is said to be an "expanded universe production"?! Would this not be considered canon and not EU as many of the original creative talent are returning - including creator Lucas, producer McCallum and actor Daniels... all are said to be involved according to this article. It seems to me that this falls within direct continuity of the 6 feature films and is a natural extension thereof. Much like the Star Trek TV & film series... live action motion picture content is considered canon, but other mediums, like comics, novels and video games are considered EU. Just curious. Codymr (talk) 07:57, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

  • With Star Wars, the films, along with all non-contradicting Expanded Universe materials are canon. Even though Lucas may have heavy involvement with other Star Wars projects, he has said many times in the past that although the six theatrical films are his definitive vision for Star Wars, everything else (even things he has direct involvement with) is an expansion on that.
