I know it will take place at some untouched timeframe, but what does that mean? The only virgin Star Wars times are what, at least 150 years post ROTJ?
They said in a time not yet covered by film or television. Which is why I think it'll be a tie-in series to the new trilogy.

I liked Force Unleashed. I don't think the story fits into any canon very well... but it was a good time regardless.
The first one does. It puts a twist on the birth of the Alliance and ties itself up nicely. The second however is.....best forgotten.
It's actually pretty good. I'm hoping it's still there. It's been a few years since I've been in there and they built a whole new library so I hope they kept their tape collection intact.
I don't think I can accurately describe how depressing and upsetting this news is. ='(
The Holiday Special has been available at my local community college for decades. That's how I discovered the Special's existence. I'm still not sure which version it is.
Actually....Disney has been selling Star Wars themed merchandise for years now. You can thank Star Tours for that. =P
I would find that curious too if they actually did. I don't think they do. Since one of his species was on the council.
Also, I do hope they leave Fett out of it given that they'll end up using Temuera Morrison's voice for him. Ugh...
Dang! That's awesome but I always had a dream of someday turning one of those early scripts into an animated feature. Of course I'd first have to learn how to animate.....and draw. =P Anyway, this further proves they need to keep Star Wars with Dark Horse.

Issue #127 (February 1988) has an interview with Lucas where he briefly touches on his ideas for a prequel and sequel trilogy.
It also has a nice article about Kathleen Kennedy.

and George ended up nicking the idea.
Fixed that for you. Even Dave the main show runner for the Clone Wars told him, "But...you killed him. Remember?"
While I highly doubt George has ever bothered to get into the Star Wars novels. It's a pretty safe bet he gets a kick out of the comics. What with his incorporating Aayla Secura into AOTC and the throw away line about Quinlan Vos in ROTS.
I think Franco did an okay job as the wizard. Though that role really needed to be played by someone who could be bigger than life. The same with Kunis, she was beautiful but her voice was all wrong and she has too round a face for the major part of the role.
Star Trek: Voyager (1995-2001)
This show was really hit and miss. Seasons 1 and 2 were very bland. Season 3 was an improvement. Seasons 4 and 5 were good and then it fell apart in season 6. The last season was okay. Except for the finale. That was garbage. I haven't seen a worse ending since Mass Effect 3. That show really needed a guide. Instead it just kind of wandered all over.

Small article at Empire. Nothing new.
I wouldn't say this is nothing:
"There are infinitely more questions than answers right now, but to me, they’re not that dissimilar. Though I came at these both from very different places, where they both meet is a place of ‘Ooh, that’s really exciting.’ And even though I was never a Star Trek fan, I felt like there was a version of it that would make me excited, that I would think ‘that’s cool, that feels right, I actually would want to see that.
How we were going to get there, what the choices were going to be, who was going to be in it – all of those things I knew would have to be figured out, but it was all based on a foundation of this indescribable, guttural passion for something that could be. It’s a similar feeling that I have with Star Wars. I feel like I can identify a hunger for what I would want to see again and that is an incredibly exciting place to begin a project. The movies, the worlds could not be more different but that feeling that there’s something amazing here is the thing that they share.”

I don't know why so many fans are having problem with Luke and Leia being siblings.
And the kiss in ESB really isn't any kind of romantic kiss. It is basically just an angry reaction from Leia to shut up Han.
1. It wasn't planned. It was a band-aid after Lucas decided he was going to quit after ROTJ.
2. Luke has had a thing for Leia since SW77. Even going so far as to play on her sympathies to get more smooches on at least two occasions. =P

The Punisher (2004)
I really liked this film, and I wish more comic books films were made this way. The character development was well done, and I loved how Castle manipulated the Saints and their people into doing his job for him. It's a shame Thomas Jane never got to reprise his role in a sequel; I'd definately would have loved to see where they would have gone with his story.

Did you order one Tobar? I know you're all over Kickstarter and Indiegogo, etc.
Nah, I didn't have that kind of cheddar at the time. Nor do I at the moment for that matter. BUT SOME DAY....
I am so excited for the Rift. Have you guys seen the videos of that dude who has combined the Rift with a separate weapon peripheral so your sight and aiming are independent?
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993-1999)
I came into the show late when it originally aired and only caught a few. I had no idea what was going on and didn't bother to stay with it. Now I wish I had caught the whole thing from the beginning. This was a great show and a breath of fresh air. It made TNG feel cold and impersonal in comparison. The series finale was really bittersweet. This is definitely my favorite series after TOS.
All I know is that as long as it has, "Close the blast doors...OPEN THE BLAST DOORS, OPEN THE BLAST DOORS!" I'm golden. =P

A Naboo Salad with Tauntaun Croutons....someone please stop me. =P
Yeah I stumbled on that Vader video the other day and was immediately depressed. Though I do LOVE that they used the ANH Vader. Hopefully that suit gets more use and we can forget about the ROTS variant....

Disney looking at SW Land for its parks? Say it ain't so! Please no Disney. Stop commercializing DLand. Do whatever the fuck you want to California Adventure, but Disneyland should be above blatant tie-ins for the sake of money like that (although it's becoming more and more apparent they disagree with me on that one.) Take the new Cars Land. It's a lot of fun, but it's a great example of what's wrong. It's just marketing and (eventually) free advertisement instead of a truly unique parkgoing experience. SW Land would be the final nail in the coffin for me. Tomorrrowland's premise is basically already forgotten.
That said I grew up in the '90s and it's likely I'm just some stupid manchild too blind to see that was the park's purpose in the first place. I'm attached to how they were able to separate the park itself from their properties - yes, there are rides specific to many of them, but the areas themselves are unique. I just... oh whatever.
They gave up on that a long time ago once they started incorporating characters from the POTC movies into the ride. Heck even It's a Small World is filled with Disney characters now. At least they only convert the Haunted Mansion for a limited time around Halloween.
I for one have always longed for a Star Wars theme park. So I hope they do it well.

If you mean Telltale's The Walking Dead, then yes I play every Telltale game as they're released. If you mean Survival Instinct....
Lindelof confirms he will not return for Prometheus sequel
Well that's a relief. Though I'm terrified to hear he's working with Brad Bird now.
