For many Star Wars fans, any new material dealing with the expansive universe created by George Lucas is welcome, especially if it takes place during the timeline of the original trilogy. For other Star Wars fans, anything other than the original trilogy is a travesty not worth mentioning.
The divide between these two passionate groups of fans is sure to widen with the debut of
Seth Green's planned
Star Wars "comedy show."
Considering this is the guy who brought us
Robot Chicken, can we expect there to be any action? Yes, according to Green, but not action in the conventional sense.
"No more action than your average Looney Tunes
or Tom and Jerry.
You know, it's action in that sense, but we are focusing on things that are funny about the universe as opposed to the wars themselves."
Green told
IGN that his show
will take place during the timeline of the original trilogy, territory that Lucas has pretty much kept off-limits to other creators.
"If you think about today's culture and our America and the fact that we are actively at war for over the last ten years... There's an ongoing war! Now, imagine that war was between the Rebels and the Empire and we're on some off world called Los Angeles where we really have no interaction with any of that stuff. That's kind of what this is."
What do you think,
Star Wars fans? Personally, I'm very wary of Green getting his hands on the
Star Wars franchise. Then again, he couldn't do much worse than coming up with some lame character like Jar Jar Binks or some ridiculous concept like midichlorians, could he?
