"100 Episodes Confirmed? Upcoming Production?
With little news on the TV show and not knowing what to do about it, your work-exhausted webmaster has decided to take the initiative and do some investigating for some much needed information.
The first confirmation: the series will well be in Australia, more specifically in New South Wales, the area around Sydney.
In fact, the governing Australian organization "Screen Australia" which takes care of all aspects of the management of film and television productions will confirm in its monthly 2009 May report on productions in the kangaroo kingdom that the Star Wars series is in production.
You can tell me more or less what you think of all this. But remember (yes, there is a but) this tidbit has only been posted for a few days, which seems to indicate that things are moving forward.
Also, a second piece of information, the person who subsequently contacted me added: "It is expected that the production of the Star Wars series will be soon. As you can appreciate things can change daily in the film industry. We recommend that you get in contact directly [with] Lucasfilm."
Fearing nothing, I then contacted Lucasfilm (who’s communication department has really gotten to know me – they’re very nice). They were, how shall I say, a little evasive.
"The live-action series is still too far off for any immediately impending announcements, but feel free to keep checking in!"
Lastly, it’s true that they’re not very far along. However, the whiff of info I get is that Lucasfilm can’t say anything for the moment, and therefore no concrete information can be release to the public.
But believe me, things are moving and shaking, and SWU will always be the first source to report on the latest information about the live-action Star Wars series.
