George Lucas Doesn’t Care What You or Anyone Thinks
Comingsoon.net has an exclusive interview with George Lucas, and?while it’s not exactly loaded with cool facts about the Clone Wars CG cartoon?it has a few tidbits that are worth me summarizing. For instance:
? The movie will air in August 15, and the show will sometime begin in October.
? Only Anthony Daniels will reprise his voice C-3P0, because he still has nothing better to do.
? The show will be episodic in nature, although there could be two-, three- and even four-parters.
? There will be more getting to know the clones.
? Lucas enjoyed doing the Young Indiana Jones TV series more than any movie.
? Genddy Tartakovsky’s Clone Wars cartoon was an “experiment” (that just happened to kick the ass of all three prequel movies).
? Lucas is making 100 episodes of Clone Wars, no matter what the ratings are, whether it’s getting aired or not, and everyone who doesn’t like it can go fuck themselves (I’m paraphrasing somewhat).
? The live-action Star Wars TV show will now premiere in 2010.
Doesn’t Lucas’ hair look deflated and sad in that picture? It makes me uncomfortable.
