A sampling of the news regarding the 2 Star Wars TV shows from the past year.
March 2006 - There will be 2 Star Wars tv shows. One is cartoon, the other is live action.
September 2006 - According to Lucas, 2 Star Wars TV shows are in the works, one of which will be live action.
December 2006 - Lucas is happy that 2 Star Wars TV shows will be available for viewing via your television set at some point in the future.
February 2007 - Lucas dispels rumors that there will be three Star Wars television shows. As it turns out, only 2 are being devloped.
May 2007 - Lucas wants to make it absolutely clear that there will be no Star Wars TV movies. He added "I can absolutely tell you that is not true... There are going to be two more Star Wars television series."
Christ, it wouldn't take much to satisfy the fans. Even a "there will be light sabers involved" would be enough to generate a small buzz.
"But the CG animated series is more adult. It has a lot of humor in it. It is very cinematic."
Uh, is it me or is that middle sentence stuck in there by mistake?
Adult = humor? Well, that would explain Phantom Menace.

[Image]From dark horizons, A report a few weeks back that TV movies were in the works based on the "Star Wars" franchise have been officially shot down.
Talking with Movieweb, Lucasfilm fan relations head Steve Sansweet dismissed the talk and cleared up the status of current projects. "I can absolutely tell you that is not true... There are going to be two more Star Wars television series. One of them is well into production. That is Star Wars: Clone Wars. It's a CG animated show, which we suspect will be on the air sometime next year. And then George and Rick McCullen were just now starting work on a live action series. A drama. That will probably be coming out in 2009 or 2010. He is actively at work on both of those. But the CG animated series is more adult. It has a lot of humor in it. It is very cinematic." Sansweet also confirms that there's no plans to air footage at the upcoming SW Celebration convention - "The TV show has not yet found a home on television. Until that happens, they are telling me that they are unable to show any actual footage."
