I suppose it's possible they could produce something worthy of the name, if it's left in the hands of competant people who respect the original movies. But honestly I doubt it's going to be anything worthwhile. If it's even ten percent as good as Firefly, I'd be really amazed. Can't they just leave Star Wars alone? Hasn't enough damage already been done? I'm way more interested in Timothy Zahn's new SW book than anything more officially produced.
"Can't they just leave Star Wars alone? Hasn't enough damage already been done?"
My feelings exactly.
"I suppose it's possible they could produce something worthy of the name, if it's left in the hands of competant people who respect the original movies."
I think it'll be impossible unless the people working on it reject all of Lucas's bullshit (SE, PT, and the ideology and mentality that goes with it), because as long as they acknowledge that stuff it's going to be part of the foundation of their work and infect it with shit.
"I keep forgetting this show even exists."
The live action show has been put off because of the success of the animated show, but they seem to be implying it'll appear circa 2011 or so.

I will watch the pilot and if it isn't up to my standards I will not get worked up. Of course several TV shows have shitty pilots. I just don't believe in Lucas anymore.
Sounds wise. I think the chances of him making something worthy of the name "Star Wars" is nil. I mean, the recent cartoon was watchable, but Star Wars it was not. Nor was there much in way of emotional depth. It was tolerable mainly because it wasn't meant to be much and therefore you hold it to a less high standard than a live action film.
I've seen this live action show compared to Firefly and Battlestar Galactica and Deadwood and Sopranos and I think that's pretentious striking poses, because no way do I think they can come out with something like that. So the show will be pretentious as WELL as dumb.
After the prequels he kinda proved that he can't really do a decent movie little less a Live Action show. Maybe he will hop off of the horse he is on and give us OT fans a real good treat. Maybe not. I am not going to expect it to be good. Maybe I should have it in my mind that it is going to suck so if it is good I will think it is really good.
The only real good treat I want from Mr Lucas is for him to drop this vendetta against the OOT and restore it and promise to keep it in circulation in future formats.
I've come to the conclusion that there's not a chance in hell of him making anything Star Wars that won't piss me off somehow.
