THE LIVE-ACTION SERIES

An hyperspace fanclub member met and interviewed Lucas at the New Year Roses Parade which was then posted on the fanclub members HyperSpace blog.

EXCERPT:

• the "screenplays" for the live action show will be written this year, and he hopes to get it on the air by 2009(!)

• the animated show is coming along great. George is very happy with the 3-D animation (think Toy Story), which he compared to Thunderbirds not in terms of the actual look but how that program had a style all its own.

LucasFilm Magazine, the official fanclub magazine of France features an article about Lucas mentioning the upcoming series indicating Clone Wars 3D will air in 2008. The airdate of 2008 somewhat contradicts an MTV interview with Lucas suggesting an airdate of 2007.

It will be the new Star Wars game for next-gen platforms. Hyperspace members caught this exclusive first look at the next major addition to the Star Wars saga."
