Updates on Star Wars and Indiana Jones


From Darkhorizons, "Lucasfilm's Steve Sansweet appeared at the San Diego Comic-Con and confirmed that the "Star Wars" animated series is now scheduled to premiere in 2008 whilst the live action series will begin sometime before 2010.

"We've been spending the last couple of years building from scratch two new state-of-the-art digital animation companies, one at Skywalker Ranch and one in Singapore. The scripts for the first batch of shows have been completed, and Animation is hard at work on the first episodes" says Sansweet.

The animated series is set late during the Clone Wars after Anakin Skywalker has achieved the rank of Jedi Knight. Anakin, Obi-Wan, Yoda, Count Dooku, Palpatine and General Grievous are expected to appear in the animated show.

He finally added David Koepp's script for Indiana Jones 4 is a couple of months away from finishing with hopes pre-production can begin before early 2007."

I'm more excited about the animated series than I am about the live action one, which I'm sure surprises nobody. A Star Wars TV show just doesn't make sense, somehow. Maybe it'll be cool, who knows.

Apropos of animated SW, check out the Original Trilogy animated maquettes over at Jeff and Jeff's Pandemonium.

Great pic, by the way. Kind of weird that they replaced Harrison Ford's face and then added another one on the other side, but Sean Connery with that vest and blaster is a hoot.
