Back in 2005, George Lucas announced that there was plans for a live action television show that would be set between the events of Revenge Of The Sith and A New Hope which would fill in the gaps of what happenned between those two movies.
However, at a recent screening of The Empire Strikes Back, he was quizzed about the future of that project and his reply was one that will surely leave many Star Wars fans feeling disappointed.
"The live action TV show is kind of on hold because we have scripts, but we don't know how to do them."
"They literally are Star Wars, only we're going to have to try to do them at a tenth the cost. And it's a huge challenge, a lot bigger than what we thought it was gonna be."
So there you have it. Other shows such as Firefly and Battlestar Galactica have shown that the genre can work on the small screen so there's hopefully still a chance we'll see this made in the near future! Share your thoughts on this in the usual place!
