Thread: I hold in my virtual hands PROOF POSITIVE that the Devs have NO clue as to what StarWars is to fans.

Hey, did you notice that crap that Lucas said in the artical about how star wars was always about the story of Darth Vader? And how he never ever imagined anything would happen after ROTJ?
I've heard of revisionist memories, but that's just silly. He said back-in-the-day that he had pictured a 9-episode series starting and that he started in the middle... He also said that right up until the actual filming of the ESB scene where Vader says he's Luke's dad, that no one knew it was to be so. In fact, I guarantee that when he wrote the original SW movie he never pictured ANY other movies.
Don't get me wrong... Darth Vader is one bad dude (even if Anakin is a whiney baby)... but the story was SO not about him from the beginning. The story was about Luke when Star Wars was written. Eps 1-3 were totally written on the fly. There's no way that crap in Eps 1 & 2 were pre-planned for decades.
Who's he tryin' to fool here?
Actually... he always maintained it was the story of the Skywalker family. Look at any early interviews with Mark about how he wanted to get the role of Han Solo, but he couldn't complain because he got the role of Luke, and the story was about the Skywalkers.
As for 9 movies... I always remember that being the case, but I never knew where the info came from.
Anyone else thinking the new TV series is gonna be about the early days of Han and Chewie? It would be kind of funny to have another Harrison Ford: The Early Years, TV show based on a movie character of his.

There was an article a few months ago, don't remember where, that was saying Keving Smith was in talks to direct said Live action tv show...
Take particular notice of the platform.

"Lucas said the live-action series is the more ambitious undertaking, attempting to translate the magic of the Star Wars universe to the small screen via supporting characters that fans have only briefly come to know from the movies." Clickity
I was hoping for a Space Above and Beyond style Xwing squardon series, but alas, that is not to be either.
This would have been so awesome...
