A few updates from Star Wars and its two new television series in production. 

{sidebar id=1}I am really trying to find something interesting or clever to write about this but I got nothin'.  After the prequels and the over-saturation of merchandise, Star Wars pretty much died for me. I hate to say it, but, I am actually a bigger Star Trek fan these days than Star Wars. Did I just say that out loud? Geez...I am getting old...

Well, Frosty over at Collider had some Star Wars info to share about the two new series.

Here's an excerpt of the news from Collider -

The live action and animated shows will be considered official canon of the star wars universe.

The live-action show is going to end up on whatever network pays the most. However, Ive heard theyre talking about the show being on HBO or even Showtime. Which jives with the slugline for the showthink Deadwood meets The Sopranos. Want a bit more? Could the live action show feature Gangsters? Could it follow the underworld of the Star Wars universe? Perhaps even a crime family? Have I said too much? Again, think Deadwood meets The Sopranos.

The seasons for the live action show might be as short as 12 episodes againthink Sopranos.

The show is definitely PG-13. Ive heard itll be dark. Its definitely not being made for kids.

The Skywalker story is finished. From what Ive been told, their story is done and they arent on the live-action show at all. The show is new characterswith a few people you might know from the movies mixed in here and there.

And for those that dont know.the animated show takes place between episodes two and three, while the live-action is between three and four. Obviously some storylines might take place outside of those times, but thats where the primary action takes place. Just like while the live action might follow a crime family, there will be episodes that focus on other things.
