First, and not really surprisingly, Sansweet announced that the awesome original trilogy..and those other movie they made will be coming to Blu Ray with all sorts of lovely extra stuff. He didn't give a release date but says “it won’t be in the too distant future.” IGN Blu-Ray quotes Sansweet as touting the set as being “a very full set … with lots of extra material” including “real treasures, like all kinds of scenes from dailies that have never been seen before.”
Sounds cool..until the next set comes along with even more previously unreleased stuff of course! Anyway, bigger news then came with the revelation that the upcoming animated series will be set after the events of
Return Of The Jedi. After a fan commented that he
“would really love to see new adventures after Jedi with our favorite characters Luke, Han and Leia,” Sansweet replied,
“And you will, in the new animation.”
This is from Bestofluckproductions.com following on from the announcements at C2E2..
So there it is folks. We will definitely be seeing Luke, Leia, Han, and Chewy again in new adventures.
I have no idea if this will be all original material or based on the expanded universe... so don't ask. This is all I know.
Oh, there was one ominous thing he said though... not everyone who dies in sci-fi stays dead. He continued by stating we'll see what he means in 3 to 4 years.
3 to 4 years? Ah well. I can only hope with all my heart that this isn't the same animated series that was announced last week.. the "situation comedy" one! But many sites feel that it probably is:( Just another example of Lucas and co coming up with what seems like a great idea and then sabotaging it completely. I don't know about you, but I'm not really interested in seeing what happens to Luke, Han and co as seen through the eyes of The Robot Chicken crew...well, I kinda am..but I want a serious take on it more dammit!
