Talk:Star Wars: Underworld

"It is possible that FOX or FX will carry it, as 20th Century Fox owns the Star Wars franchise." - I believe that last bit is incorrect. Lucasfilm owns the Star Wars franchise. They have contracted with 20th Century Fox to distribute the movies. (There was film industry speculation before the Phantom Menace that Lucas was planning on switching to Dreamworks SKG.) -- Austicke 10:31, 27 May 2005 (UTC)

New Wikipedia'd article
Now that this article has been overwritten by Adamwankenobi as a copy from Wikipedia but with various sections edited out, can someone compare this to the Wikipedia version and see if we need to add anything. -- Riffsyphon1024 01:52, 3 Sep 2005 (UTC)

TheForce.Net report
How accurate could that "TheForce.Net reports" section of the article be? The part I found strange was that it refered to the Jedi as "old-fashioned, pure & chaste Jedi" while the Jedi article says the Jedi were not chaste. This might seem like a dumb comment, but I just thought it was strange that TheForce.net would refer to the Jedi as "pure & chaste" when they apparently weren't. and I doubt the accuracy of their report.
 * That's the great thing about that section: we can report other people's reports, without them being assumed official or a fact. TFN is a pretty reliable source anyway, and anything they report is usually well-verified. Adamwankenobi 03:06, 28 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * That "report" is totally bogus. Kuralyov 03:12, 28 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Oh well. :( Adamwankenobi 03:19, 28 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Surely "Darth Teros" gave some clue as to this report's dubious validity? Sounds worse than SuperShadow - Kwenn 17:20, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

Shot on consumer-level digital cameras?
The show will be shot on consumer-level digital cameras, according to series creator, George Lucas.

What does it mean? What does consumer-level digital cameras look like? And what does have to do with it? Amateurs?

I have no proof, but being in the broadcasting business, I did a bit of research, I came up with this as the most likely camera they would use: http://bssc.sel.sony.com/BroadcastandBusiness/DisplayModel?id=80897 --Apprentice_Anakin 05:42, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

Most likely it means they'll be shooting on one of Sony's cheap HD cameras, in the sub-$10000 range. I don't like them myself..I'd more personally recommend a Panasonic HVX-200, all around better image. But meh :P And of course, the Red.com camera owns everything, ever.

Ewan's involvment
When has Ewan stated that he'd be willing to make an appearance? I thought his enjoyment of being involved in the series dwindled... 71.114.96.84 19:36, 15 March 2006 (UTC) (Posted by Duke Starhopper - forgot to log in)
 * He apparently didn't like the excessive greenscreen work, but as a big Star Wars fan himself, I don't think he's become disillusioned or anything&mdash;not like Obi-Wan Senior, Sir Alec, who reportedly hated having his name connected with Star Wars - Kwenn 15:23, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Madonna?
Did anyone else see that Madonna could be apart of the show?--Dil 17:05, 1 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Remember that today is April Fools Day. Adamwankenobi 17:14, 1 April 2006 (UTC)


 * I see so it could be just a joke right?--Dil 21:02, 1 April 2006 (UTC)


 * It is a joke. Adamwankenobi 21:06, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

No Rebel victories?
Isn't this fan-conjecture with no official statements behind it? The opening crawl always said "Rebel spaceships, striking from a hidden base, have won their first victory against the evil Galactic Empire." This needn't mean anything other than fighters from a specific base winning their first battle. Since EU showed other pre-ANH wins as well, I'm going to remove it. VT-16 15:20, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

SuperShadow
Since when do we have to include SuperShadow's claims into our articles? - TopAce 09:25, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Never, never, never, never, never

Dissapointment
I am dissapointed over what I read in an interview with Rick McCallum over at ComingSoon.net http://comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=14365. According to him (about the show) "Think bounty hunter. That's all I can tell you. There's nobody else that you'll know [in it]."

We can easily assume that this will be Boba Fett. Of course that quote doesn't rule out appearances by surviving Jedi and the occasional cameos by Ewan or Yoda but I think I will miss some of the characters and events that should be in this (eg. Vader and the Purge, Prince Xizor, beginning of Yoda's exile.)

 * Not necessarily. I quote McCallum from the ROTS DVD press conference last year: "We are just starting to interview writers and trying to really figure out which direction to go to. He envisions somewhere like 100 hours between Episode III and Episode IV with a lot of characters that we haven't met that have been developed in some of the novels and other things. We are really excited about that. Finally, we could have the opportunity to answer everybody's questions once and for all by the time we finish the series." Adamwankenobi Talk to me! My home. 23:30, 3 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Does anyone know whether or not Quinlan Vos is going to get some screen time in this? I'd be real interested to see what his final fate was, maybe with that meeting of a young Han Solo that was described on Quinlan Vos. It would be a dissapointment to me...The Ravager 02:09, 19 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Well Lucas seems to like the character, and given that he reads the comics, it's a good bet Quinlan will show up in some form or another in the series. Adamwankenobi Talk to me! My home. 02:31, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

G or C
Does anyone have any idea what level of canon the 2nd and future seasons would be? It is cirten that the first season will be G with Lucas's role in the first season, however that leaves the future seasons cannon level shadey and is confuseing wether it will be be G or C? DX-2052 21:28, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
 * G-canon, I'd assume, since Lucas is directly involved. Also, I think the canon level would apply to the whole project, as defined from the outset - Kwenn 21:31, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Its basically a load of mini-movies, so it would be G-Canon. Jasca Ducato 20:14, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
 * It'll be C. I base this on the fact that Lucas also had direct involvement with the Ewok films, and they are considered C. Adamwankenobi Talk to me! My home. 20:18, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry for the n00by question, but what exactly is the difference between G & C level canon? Or can someone give me a link to an article on it? Thanks in advance. 81.157.112.69 18:41, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Canon. Basically, G-canon is anything directly from Lucas, C-canon is pretty much everything else, other than Infinities. Of course, it depends on how involved Lucas is with this series. I think if he writes it, it'll be G - Kwenn 18:49, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks :) Calaros 18:52, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

2006?
I heard (recently) that the show is being released this fall. Any confirmation on this? Skywalka 11:08, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Impossible. They haven't even started production, much less finalized any scripts for it. -- Riffsyphon1024 09:13, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Anime?
About a year ago, I read an Animation Magazine article in which the Star Wars live-action TV series was mentioned, as well as Lucas' desire to operate in anime. I have heard no word of the matter ever since. Does anyone know more on this subject? Could a Star Wars anime be far, far away? It would definitely be awesome. MC Otaku 10:08, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Isn't this technically being tackled already by anime books? -- Riffsyphon1024 09:13, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
 * And Star Wars: Clone Wars is anime, even though anime and manga are considered the same anymore. supergeeky1 [[Image:BobaFett.jpg|20px]] The Cantina 19:42, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

GL tells Mtv
"None of the Skywalker story, none of that stuff is in there, " he explained, shooting down any depiction of a young Han Solo acquiring the Millennium Falcon or running with Lando Calrissian. "It's completely different. The animated series has got all the characters in it. The one that comes after, the live-action one, is with people who were in 'Star Wars, ' but they're not the main characters."

Lucas said the plot will be steered by characters such as Tie-Fighter or Rebel pilots, most only briefly glimpsed in the six "Star Wars" films." TFN "GL talks to Mtv about Live-Action Series


 * That makes it sound like the story of Rogue Squadron GMo 16:44, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, it does seem so. -- Riffsyphon1024 21:34, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Fascinating. Adamwankenobi 21:39, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Is anyone not enthralled by Rogue Squadron or bounty hunters? I personally would rather see Jedi and dissenting milatary officers as the main characters, and I admit that some bounty hunters being tossed in would be nice. I was really hoping it would be aimed at escapees and runaways. Purpilia 00:08, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Cast
Good news everyone, Anthony Daniels has signed on to appear as C-3PO in the Star Wars TV Show! supergeeky1 The Cantina 19:11, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
 * What's your source, Supergeeky? If this is legit, it belongs in Wookieenews too, I'd say. Gonk 19:16, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Well I first got it off of Wikipedia, but they got the source from http://www.ananova.com/entertainment/story/sm_1763134.html. supergeeky1 [[Image:BobaFett.jpg|20px]] The Cantina 19:20, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
 * And yet SW.com hasn't updated with this? 'Cause it seems big to me. Suspiciously big. Could this be another case of Internet rumormongering a la "Kenneth Branagh is Obi-Wan!!"? Gonk 19:22, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Reverted. We really should have seen some corroboration SOMEwhere about this. But if you did in fact scoop everyone else in the SW community, we can always put it back! Gonk 23:12, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
 * It's on Wikipedia, does that mean we're gonna have to take it off of that too? I think we should put it back in unless we get official conformation against it.  It's not like SuperStupid said it, it was, what looks like, a realiable source. supergeeky1 [[Image:BobaFett.jpg|20px]] The Cantina 01:48, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
