When I saw the first Star Wars movie I heard that George Lucas were going to make nine movies. He ended on six, so he is three behind. Now Lucas is catching up, making a 100 episode tv-series! Great There’s nothing about it on Starwars.com yet…
The TV series spin-off of the Stars Wars film franchise will run to at least 100 episodes, according to producer Rick McCallum.
He told BBC Radio 1 the writing team would soon be meeting to start on the project, which would begin filming in 2008 and be ready the same year.
BBC has more here and here. Seems like each episode will be an hour.
The series will be set between episodes three and four of the film saga. It would cover the 20 years in the life of Luke Skywalker growing up that remains a mystery to most film-goers.
