Lack of Technology Puts Star Wars Series On Hold 309
adeelarshad82 writes "It was back in 2007 when we first heard about George Lucas making a live-action TV series focusing on characters from Star Wars. Almost four years later, it seems the idea of ever seeing this live-action show is still living in a galaxy far, far away. In a recent interview, George Lucas mentioned that the technology to produce the show in a cost-effective way doesn't exist yet, and that the cost of producing an episode is about ten times of what it should be."
Han Solo show! (Score:3, Informative)
You know what would be really cool - a show all about han solo, where he and his rag-tag crew jet about the galaxy in their decrepit but well loved ship, taking on any smuggling job, facing danger together, serving out home-style justice when it serves their pocketbooks, wooing space-ladies.
Oh wait, they already made that show, it's called firefly, and it got cancelled.
Sorry to get your hopes up george

Damn right. I'm convinced Eps 4-6 were only made good by accident. The chances of George Lucas accidentally making something that is not utter shit again are quite slim.

And I'm pretty sure ESB was actually in someone else's hands (Different director or producer or something. Can't remember).
Just sayin'...

Star Trek, Farscape, BSG, SGU, SG1 etc all were "Starship Corridor Shows".
90% of the show takes place in a hallway. Alternately it takes place in: A pine forest, Rock Quarry, City or Desert.
Star Wars is often in exotic and expensive locales and outside of a starship hallway.
