I wasn’t holding my breath for the arrival of the promised or hinted at Star Wars live action television series. The Lucas people are pretty good at keeping secrets and we are hopeful that the time being spent will make for a better product. I had assumed it was a few years away. This may not be the case.

The creative wheel spins deliberately down there at Skywalker Ranch in Marin County, California, the home of all things Lucas. I don’t mind that, because crafting a live action “Star Wars” series worthy of the spirit of the thing is a job that requires great care and hopefully many screenings of the original three movies.

Either the lads at LucasFilm are really taking their time to get things right on the new live action Star Wars series coming sometime in, sometime, or there is just not a ton of passion in the creative team to get this puppy on the air. I am growing dubious, dubious and impatient.

George Lucas takes his time. I’d like to say that he takes the time to get it right but I’d be stretching it. George certainly has some mad world building skills. A live television series is on George’s mind these days. He is making preparations, slowly. Soon I’m sure the news will be juicy and plentiful. But for now, we Sci-Fi bloggers must dig and harrass for every lucious drop of news.

I have mixed feelings about this. I love my Star Wars. I do indeed. I once blew a promising romance with a lovely blond girl by forcing her to stand in line with me for 8 hours for the Empire Strikes Back. It was playing at only one theatre where I lived. I made the ultimate sacrifice.
