Just wanted to elucidate upon my earlier post predicting that the threatened STAR WARS TV show would be a Young Han Solo type affair. Though that is my prediction, that wouldn't necessarily be my personal preference. That instead would be a STAR WARS TALES type series, inviting lots of different TV and Film makers to contribute to an anthology were they could tell a story set at any time and using any characters they wished. I can imagine the meeting now. "Quentin Tarantino and Samuel L Jackson teaming up on a Mace Windu story? Cool. Kevin Smith taking the mickey out of the construction of the Death Star? Sure, why not. Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright pitching an episode? Groovy. Jimmy Smitts can come in and do a few days shooting for a story based on Aldaraan? Says he's gonna bring Dennis Franz* with him? Luvverly, got just the part for the guy."
*Years ago, back when Bail Organa was actually being played by an Ulsterman (completely left on the cutting room floor from THE PHANTOM MENACE) rather than a cast member of the great NYPD BLUE, I had a crazy dream about Dennis Franz playing a Jedi Knight. He used his force telekinesis to change channels on his TV, open bottles of beer, etc. I now choose to see that dream as a premonition.
