  • It sounds like someone doesn't know what "Space Opera" means. Star Wars: A New Hope is space opera. From Wikipedia: "Space opera is a subgenre of science fiction that emphasizes romantic, often melodramatic adventure, set mainly or entirely in outer space, generally involving conflict between opponents possessing advanced technologies and abilities. The term has no relation to music and it is analogous to "soap opera" (see below)."

  • George Lucas already said that he was to retire from screwing up his movies... and now this...so weak... I am all for new Star Wars Stuff, but don't involve the previous movies.. just make new shit damnit... leave the old alone..

  • Sorry, what was the question? I can't hear, now that I've chopped my ears off.

  • Two talent-less cunts bitching about George Lucas

  • I think it's a good idea.... stop the hate people I'am ready to die for anything that is Star Wars related

  • Just an other reason that Star Trek is better. :)

  • you guys missed the worst worst ever a star wars christmas crap

  • I was with the idea right up until the bit about time travel.

  • Killing of Darth means his son Luke will never be born. Meaning no Jedi and no show. I never liked the crappy thing anyways. And I was child when I first saw it. It sucked. The games were somewhat cool. But I like Star Trek better.

  • stop lucas stop

  • Im sick of all the negativity towards star wars. Its george lucas's series and he can make it however he wants. If your a true star wars fan your going to like whatever he brings to the table. Either like the show or shut your mouth and let others enjoy it.

  • you are an idiot.  like whatever he brings to the table?? can you think for yourself at all??

  • @dt14tennis Of course i can I'm just saying its his series and he can make it however he wants like or don't like. There is no in between.

  • it's gonna suck lol

  • 2005: George Lucas is awesome! That animated Clone Wars and the new movie were AWESOME!!

    2010: George Lucas, what have you done! I liked the Force Unleashed, but the CG Clone Wars movie sucked, and now you made it into a TV show?! It isn't even accurate!!! *nerd rage*

  • I've learned to block out Star Whore I mean Wars nerds, because all they do is rant that they HATE Star Wars. You know why? They are close minded assholes; they hate Star Wars because they already made up THEIR version of Star Wars, and if someone condradicts you of course they're going to be an @ss. Star Wars was made to stir up your imagination and THAT Star Wars universe was George Lucas version of Star Wars.

  • The story of Darth Vader is pretty much the story of George Lucas, and he's far into the dark side now. If he actually does do something good and kind - like stop this show from being made - it probably means he's about to die and is redeeming himself at the last moment.

  • wow, seriously people...every one of you are going to watch it and either hate it or love it...save all this ranting til you see the damn thing.

  • This is old news though, they've been talking about a Star Wars show with NO jedi since around Ep 3

  • what's the source for the first episode? i've been following everything i can about the new show and i haven't heard jack shit about time travel. you guys seem pretty weak

  • Hasn't done anything good since the original three? How about Ep III? That was a fantastic addition to the Star Wars saga.

    And racist accent...? WTF?

  • to everyone who is asking "how is lucas directing? he's retired." he retired from directing films not tv shows. duh

  • nope nope nope george is retired

  • What, are we combining Back to the Future with Star Wars? It's too damn late for that. Hasn't George Lucas fucked up his movies enough already?

  • @weirdoingreen2222 Lol why do you hate Star  Wars the prequels? Oh wait cause you hate CGI? I guess you hate 95% of the movies in the world... nice <.<

  • NO TV SHOW CAUSE MR LUCAS HAS RETIRED ! I AM CONFUSED HERE ?

  • I pray to God that this series never sees the light of day... same goes for George Lucas.

  • Back in Time?! What is this the 90's? Awful idea EVER!! I got one! Why not do a prequel about a young Han Solo? Yea, sound good already huh? He was a scoundrel in his early life going on adventures with his trusty side-kick Chewy and he probably met colorful aliens species all over, like other Jedis, jubba the hut, evil sith, bounty hunters, um...jubba the hut, and even sexy aliens or non-aliens babes. We could throw in a young Princess Leia to spice up the plot. lol.

  • Fuck off haters let the man do wat he wants leave him alone.

  • First of all when it comes to scifi doctor who is king and second i like the 1-3 prequels more than the originals i thought luke was way to whiney

  • Why cant they just do a completely separate story that just happens to exist in the same fictional universe of "Staw Wars" Im definitely not a die-hard star wars fan, or even a normal one, but I understand how stupid this idea is. I love the idea of the Star Wars world, just make a new goddamn story!

  • I think both shows suck wet asshole. But if i had to choose, i'd go with Star Trek.

  • Star Trek is better in every way.

  • @KissesLoveKawaii Did you know George Lucas helped make Star Trek? He went over the script: the new movie I mean.

  • Whoa time travel? I have a better idea than making sure a awesome Vader never existed. Go back in time and kill jar jar.

  • Fuck Off George is the Greatest Producer writer and Director ever. You find me one movie that doesn't use ILM or Skywalker sound.

  • Really,George Lucas??? He's an ass.

  • Let me ask this,WHAT THE FUCK IS GEORGE LUCAS SMOKING? Cause I want some.Can we please get this asstard the help he obviously needs so he will quit fucking up everything he touches? Here's a plot idea,we break into the secret government time travel facility and go back to the day Return of the Jedi premiers.Let George have his moment,he has created a masterpiece BTW,and then as he come out of the theater,we shoot him.Nothing fancy,two to the chest,one to the head.All is well with the world.

  • YAY! more redline media commentaries!

  • OK. Might be cool if Lucas has nothing further to do with it and if they really don't do that back in time thing. Addressing the "Star Wars is George Lucas' sandbox" comments. It was originally. Now that it has it's own life and actual writers have given it shape, it's not his any more. LucasArts should remove him from any creative process involving important things. Like Raiders or Star Wars. I'm kinda cool w/the film noire idea for the series.

  • Star Wars is dead to me.

  • see 'DARTH VADER Carves A Pumpkin' on my channel....while u r at it, see 'SHIT ANDY ROONEY SAYS' on my channel

  • Star wars is star wars because it is action filled, plot driven and fun... This show will probably none of those

  • Eeeeeeeeeeew, I love the lucas world, but this has failure written all over it.

  • sad

  • i love how people can say they hate lucas for destroying the very thing he made

    i hate this ideology of hating the person who made the thing you supposedly love just because he did not live up to your expectations

    when you look at the prequels sepritly they are great movies its just when they are compared to the originals it looks bad

    and lastly the movies did not get more kiddish

    the first movies were for kids when you were young then you got older and the movies stayed for kids

    stop the hate

  • @theendofit the new trilogy and the old trilogy just attracted different audiences. The original was simple and easy to understand in a "Good vs evil" sort of way with easily likable characters and not the slightest bit of crossover between the dark and the light til one moment in the end. and in the new trilogy was more complex in the way that the main character would ultimately become the villain so the line was blurred and you had to think about it for it to make sense within anakin's head

  • Uh...I don't see what the issue is with there being a SW TV Show. You should be happy...I know I am. You can't say it'll be the worst thing ever when it doesn't even exist yet.

  • And he didn't even direct Empire Strikes Back or Return of the Jedi. He gets way too much praise.

  • you are both idiots -

  • Why did everyone like the first 3 movies in the first place? O_o

    Minions who somehow cant hit a target >8 meters away with a dozen shots, a predictable plotline with a giant hole in the side of a supership that for some reason hasn't been boarded up, and a few psychics whose unexplained powers have somehow survived to reach the technological age.

    I say technological age sparingly, considering it lacked handheld weapons superior to sabers/blasters and near inexistent security on the death star.

  • we all know what he did to indiana jones, we all saw it and did nothing we just stared on as he raped the masterpiece that is indi. leave it alone george, for the love of god just leave it alone.

  • I'm still not over the space opera part.

  • I agree with her a 100% on 1:18.

  • Babylon 5 was epic. If they get even close to that I'll be cool with it.

  • hes gonna george lucas it up

  • sounds like Star Wars christmas, we all know how awesome that was....

  • George Lucas shouldn't be allowed to touch his own entertainment properties. Star Wars needs Child Protective Services or something.

  • they need starkiller.

  • I guess I'll watch the second season...

  • The worst thing to happen to Star Wars the three new movies, definitely. Then it got WORSE when Clone Wars was released and all that cartoon junk has dominated little boys' gaming with no idea where the original idea for the Force, Lightsabers, and Darth Vader comes from! IT'S SICK.

  • the worst thing to happen to the star wars universe post movies is definitely the force unleashed, the game that mutilated the original story and made me want to kill myself. Also just for a mention the original 3 (or at least return of the jedi) were spoiled by the ewoks.

  • Correction, George Lucas hasn't done anything good since Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (released six years after Return of the Jedi).

  • Star Wars Underworld will more then likely be cool but suck none the less. but i don't think anything can suck as bad as Star Gate Universe did, or more disappointing

  • @TheAzide

    SG:U started out fairly strong.... kind of...

  • I think the the first movie sucks, jar jar binks < no jar jar binks. But i'd like to see the tv series of the franchise so when it goes down the toilet, everyone will look forth to fatty gran-daddy and know, that he killed the best thing in movie history.

  • I cant possibly be the only one whos hands started tingling when Elliot said "Blood pressure skyrocketing" e.o

  • I would love it!

  • I think it would do better without the whole "going back in time" business. That transition to the Empire from the Republic is one of the more interesting aspects of the Star Wars franchise, I don't think it needs to be muddied by a Terminator-esque time travel spin to it.

  • How can you tell when a person is a Racist. Simple, Listen to their accent.

    What exactly is a racist accent?

  • @Synapticsnap good example would be the 2 stupid red and green autobots in the second Transformers movie.

  • @Synapticsnap the one you have, cracker

  • I very much agree, this is just another way GL can shit on what was once a proud Star Wars legacy and force the world to pay him for it. Not to mention, hasn't he PUBLICLY said like a dozen times that he is DONE and would not EVER do anything with or sell the rights to do anything with Star Wars ever again... SMH

  • SMDH. I thought you were fellow nerds.

  • Without him there won't be no star wars.

  • I don't know if you guys think you're funny but you could give a decent review

  • with*

  • Enough will the stupid fucking jokes, show some real footage

  • Fail? How?

  • I've loved Star Wars since the beginning...sure the new movies had some really crappy moments and characters, but its Lucas' world...what he says goes. All in all I love the franchise and I HOPE that there will be a Star Wars TV show featuring the time between RotS and ANH. Though if Lucas doesnt cool it on the CGI these shows are going to cost him as much as it did a full length feature film...but i'll watch it.

  • What the fuck! First he ruins it by making it 3d down he's making a series..*she shakes her head* the fuck man..the...fuck..

  • Just give the franchise to Bioware. They are doing a much better job with it anyway.

  • Ok, a time travel plot, that sounds pretty damn stupid. Once you have established that time travel is possible and can alter the universe in a franchise it's pretty much game over for making any damn sense. I mean just look at Star Trek, they literally had to write in a bunch guys in time machines from even further in the future who just go around fixing all the plotholes time travel causes on a regular basis. At least Dr Who doesn't even try to make sense, timey whimey and all...

  • Guys, it's not the end of the world... Grow up.

    Statements like "AH NO, MY EARS MUST BE CUT OFF FROM THESE TERRIBLE NEWS" only make people sound like children.

  • Elliot, is that shirt linen or hemp?

  • I'll watch it doesn't matter how bad it will be...

  • Why? Really, just... why? There's only been one good time-travel TV show (Quantum Leap - yeah, I said it), and throwing time travel into Star Wars can do nothing but bad things.

    Besides, I thought he was rage-quitting Star Wars? What happened to that?

  • I think it genuinely could be quite good, if it's written well

  • It's his creation, if it wasn't for him in the first place Star Wars wouldn't exist anyway. He can do whatever the fuck he wants. And all the Star Wars fans will continue to follow whether it's shit or not. Personally I think the last 3 movies were great and didn't see anything wrong with em. Ppl complain too much

  • @Graphaeli Amen, dude.

  • I know its trendy as fuck to talk shit about Lucas, but give it a rest. It's boring and such a wanna-be thing to go on about. Star Wars is Georges sandbox, and if he decides to shit in it, you'll smile and say "Thank you".

  • @TheBigFuzzy666 Or just not look at it.

  • @TheBigFuzzy666 AMEN! Finally someone who understands...

  • @TheBigFuzzy666 You are the man, Fuzzy

  • @TheBigFuzzy666 You're awesome.

  • @TheBigFuzzy666 Clearly you don't know nerds.

  • Comment removed

  • @TheBigFuzzy666 George Lucas can suck a bag of dicks...

  • The TV series has been talked about over 10 years, they starting drawing up scripts for it and refining it for content almost a 7 years ago. In that time they have had a few great space Scifi shows come and go like Farscape, and Firefly. That being said this should have shed some light for how the Star Wars TV series producers should proceed, and how to keep people watching. *shrug* Lets hope they dont butcher it too badly.

  • *sequels 

  • Indiana Jones (and sequals) were made as well you know.. and the Land Before Time! He didn't just do Star Wars you know! And Red Tails is a GREAT movie..

  • "Luke, we are going to feature in a TV series."

    "NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

  • I actually love the idea of a Star Wars Live Action TV Show, especially if it takes place between episodes III and IV. But if George Lucas is writing it, I'm afraid the whole thing is doomed.

    Oh, and WHAT? Time travel in Star Wars? Oh god.

  • It will be the worst thing ever

  • the tv show is gonna be like terra nova good but only in thoery

  • Lee> My girlfriend

  • If he makes thıs Show and ıt goes through wıth those bandıts goıng back ın tıme and tryıng to kıll Darth ım gonna make a guess by sayıng that george wıll make a movıe about what happens ıf darth dıes

  • Worst thing ever

  • I think I love the new trilogy of star wars more than the old one

    So probably gonna kinda like this new show

  • @yash019

    fail

  • I think my name says it all.

  • ... I liked the new three movies.

  • @BradenPcook Even the Phantom Menace?

  • @MultiWafflemaster Even the Phantom Menace. The pod racing, Qui-Gon Jinn, Jar Jar, and the epic fight with Maul. I kind of want to watch it again now.

  • @BradenPcook Thank you, someone else who is not an annoying originalist zombie

  • Email me if you want a pizza roll.

  • Lee, I love you, but I have to disagree. He's done a lot of great things since Episode VI. The Indiana Jones trilogy (I don't know why pepole say there's a fourth one - it doesn't exist), Labrynth, and The Land Before Time. All of which he wrote and produced. He didn't direct any movies between A New Hope and The Phantom Menace. And the original idea for A New Hope was terrible and it took everyone else involved to change the story and make it work.

  • I don't mind trying to create a Star Wars show, but I think the time-travel idea is terrible.

    However, I think there's a reason for this. George Lucas has stated his reasons for not making more movies is that fanboys everywhere do nothing but rage at him no matter what he does. I wouldn't be surprised if he's doing this on purpose to piss everyone off and troll all the haters. On the other hand. . He's a little crazy and might actually think it's a legitimately good idea.

  • I think Lee just gets hotter and hotter with each show...or is it just me!?

    Sorry abt comment below.I must been thinking of Lee's hotness!

  • I think just gets hotter and hotter with every show....or is it just me!? :)

  • long as they dont do slap stick comedy

  • I think George Lucas has killed the Emperor and moved to the dark side.

  • What the...? I don't EVEN...! 

  • I'm excited. If it's shit I just won't watch it not just complain about George Lucas 24/7 because at the end of the day I love star wars and he was the guy that created it.

  • god dam it

  • Someone grab me a lightsaber. I'm gonna turn dat fat fuck into a pile of laundry!

  • holy these people do not have an open mind at all! and it is sickening

  • Isn't StarWars one of the franchises with thousands upon thousands of really high-quality spin-off novels? And wasn't there (until recently) a massive online community of fans who had been working, with Lucas' blessing as I understand, on solidifying StarWars Canon?

    Why not just hire those people to write the script? Or steal their ideas, I mean that **IS** the prerogative of every series creator (even if it's a dick move) and at least then the story wouldn't suck.

  • Do not want

  • Are Lee and Ellott pregnant?!

  • my whole life isnt invested within a fictional realm so im interested to see how they play this (& alternate realities just make me excited. ex marvels age of apocalypse) that said if it sux it sux & thats georges problem & it wont make my world come crumbling down around me

  • STFU star wars fans you complain all the f time and yet you still watch/buy star wars stuff. get a clue.

  • Probably be the worst thing ever!

  • i <3 star wars. come on ppl, lets give it a chance. u know ur gonna watch it and love it. yall acting like stormtroopers!

  • Noooooooooooo!

  • ....I thought he had sais he wouldn't fuck up Star Wars anymore! Did he not get ENOUGH hate mail, death threats and general harassing spam?? WTF Lucas, learn to take a hint maybe?

  • LUCAS NEEDS TO DIE!!! I'm not going to kill him, but I seriously just want him to stop existing.

  • according go the rules of star wars cannon, TV shows are lower cannonisity, thus cannot change the movie cannon, only enhance it. Thus any plot to kill Vader is doomed to fail.

  • worst thing ever. he wanted the first one to be down with midgets. it was supposed to be a comedy until some told him he was stupid.

  • Why must directors fudge up the classics in an attempt to stay relevant. You made awesome movies. Stop doing other stuff with them.

  • FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­CK

  • They should have just left it at the six movies. I'm not gonna act all cool and say the original ones were better and the newer ones suck because they actually made darth Vader a real character and not just "the villain"

  • Too much cyncism SourceFed, how will Star Wars every get better if we keep romantizing the past, and crapping on everything else, the Clone Wars tv series is awesome, as people say those cartoons have more emotion than the prequels, sadly. If they got good writers like people from HBO or Showtime it could be a great, gritty sci-fi show. I as a Star Wars fan have to look for the good in the new, rather than just rewatching my original trilogy boxset from fricking the 90's people.

  • just fringe it...

  • Any time travel in a non comical senarios is automatic failure.

  • You guys are slow Wikipedia showed this like 3 years ago.

  • "boardwalk empire meets space" this is awesome! Are we sure Lucas is doing this? "bandits travel back in time" oh... nevermind.

  • I don't think the newer star wars films are all that bad, maybe because I'm 15 and didn't grow up with the originals lol. I love them all. I don't know how George Lucas is going to pull this one but I'll be watching it for sure lol.

  • Let's all stay positive... at least till we have actually seen the show.

  • Why won't he leave things be?! Couldn't he just come up with a new idea outside of the Star Wars universe (or at least one that wouldn't change/affect his previous productions)? Argh.

  • barts evil twin

  • Wait, I thought George Lucas was quitting show business!

  • Satan, I mean George Lucas, needs to be put into a Saw type situation every time he thinks he's come up with a wonderful idea like this. I dont know if he's had some kind of psychotic break from reality and thinks he's being a genius or if he s been huffing gasoline fumes and eating paint chips for the last 30 years and just doesnt know any better. Maybe he just needs someone to slap the stupid out of him from time to time. the idiot.

  • I think a lot of people are forgetting that George Lucas is the one that created Star Wars, he was the brains behind it. And I would like to think that as the person that created the story, he should have full control of what he does with it. Seriously, whether he does these new stories for money or not, it doesn't matter because at the end of the day, he created the damn thing. And if you're a fan of Star Wars and don't like his new stuff, go watch find a new show to hate on.

  • @123ghl321 ur an idiot or a troll looking for attention. Either way..ur a fucking idiot.

  • @123ghl321 well not entirely true goerge lucas did get credit for it.... but Alan Foster wrote the original books for star wars

  • @123ghl321 To be honest, he didn't create Star Wars. Aliens came and told him stories, and he wrote it down.

  • @123ghl321 Lucas created it. But he did collaborate with Gary Kurtz, who, in my opinion, tried to ground the story and added darkness and depth to it. He and Lucas reportedly clashed a lot, so when Kurtz left after Empire Strikes Back, Lucas was free to change the story to less dark and more happy-go-lucky. While I don't agree with Kurtz's plan to have Han Solo die in ROTJ, I disliked how Lucas turned the whole thing into almost a kid's movie. The balance is gone.

  • @123ghl321 My sentiments exactly.

  • @123ghl321 cause you know, those other shows werent made by other people who own the rightts to the show they created and that its not their choice what they do with their shows...

  • @123ghl321 he came up with star was and directed it but he had SO MUCH help.

  • @123ghl321 He was'nt if you talk to people on set the first movie he had little to no active control over and even throughout the rest of the original his control was kept in check. With the new trilogy he had complete control and screwed it up. Independent writers in the extended universe have done more good for the franchise than Lucas has EVER done.

  • i want to die before this comes out

  • HAHAHAHAHAHAH TIME TRAVEL! ! ! --> Star Trek much ??

  • Why do you keep mocking the term "space opera"? Do you not realize that that's what Star Wars was conceived as? It is and always has been a space opera.

  • This will be like the ewok Christmas special years from now it'll be forgotten.
