Star Wars 3D And TV 311
Master_of_Tumbleweeds writes "Rick McCallum, co-producer of the Star Wars prequel trilogy, appeared at a press conference in Japan earlier today. He spoke about the future of Star Wars, specifically about the 3D updates of all six films and the upcoming TV series. McCallum said that the 3D films would be released within two to three years, and that the TV shows would take place during the 20 year time period between Episode III and IV. He also mentioned that one of the shows would follow the adventures of a young Luke Skywalker, and reveal how certain characters ended up together. The show starts production next year."

Including so many that no one cared about. Such as: Why Yoda and Chewbacca are such good friends. And: Why Baba Fett has a grudge against Obi Wan.

I don't see why so many people are negative about this prospect. I mean, how could this possibly go wrong? ;-) [penny-arcade.com]

No, wait -- perhaps Luke can discover his Force-powers, and then forget them all just before the droids arrive.
Wow, this is going to be so great. Luke with his Force-powers, young Han and Leia hanging out with him in Mos Eisley. C3P0 and R2D2 can serve drinks or something, right before they have their memories erased again.
George Lucas is really onto a winning formula here!

Three years later, the same guy walks into the same bar and asks the same bartender for a beer. No problemo, says the barkeep. Zzzzip. Handed what again looks like something better suited to a specimen jar, the guy barely hesitates. Down the hatch it goes, and then halfway back up the hatch again. Tears of rage are shed; a lawsuit is threatened. Exit the dude, livid.

You're waiting for the punch line. It's not a joke, I'm afraid. It's a parable. The guy is you, the bar is the neighborhood multiplex, and the third steaming glass of piss you're about to be served with a smile is called Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. For God's sake, don't drink it.

Not to be confused with cousin Baby Fett, or any of the clone warriors.

Sorry, I don't speak Idiotese. When my protocol droid comes back, I'll have it speak to you since it understands alll 29 million variations of Idiotese (except for the dialect on the Millenium Falcon).
