STAR WARS BABIES

Remember "Muppet Babies"? The cartoon of the Muppets set in a baby nursery with the baby muppets in diapers? Sorry to resurface that buried memory but it relates to this post.... Rick McCallum has said in a BBC interview that the new Star Wars TV Series will "cover the 20 years in the life of Luke Skywalker growing up..." ARGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

Only in part, right?
It'll be balanced by covering the exploits of Vader during this time, I thought.

"We must win over a new generation of children" ...and bring them into the Star Wars fold of geek-dom! Not everythings Star Wars can be geared toward the adult geeks. I mean - look at the Ewok TV movie thing. Didn't that win over a bunch of new kids? It made you dress up like one for halloween, right?

Personally I think it's bunk - but I can see where it's coming from.

Vader will NOT be in the TV Show from what I've read. Which is probably a good thing as they'd just ruin his character.

And the Ewok TV movie actually made me fall out of Star Wars when I was a little kid. I dont' think any kid liked that.

There are so many stories, rumors, spoilers, etc out there about the TV show... and it is still far off. I think we'll just have to wait and see with this, and just ignore the rumor and speculation until then.

very true, Lisa. however, this bit of info was from Rick McCallum himself - producer of Special Editions and Prequels. :(
