Another Star Wars side-story taking place in between episodes III and IV will grace the television screen, according to an EW interview with the franchise's creator George Lucas. “We were doing 24, and now we’re going to move down the street here and do The Wire,” Lucas said when comparing the untitled live-action TV series with Episode IV. “It’s just different people doing the same thing in the same city.”
Despite having just finished the first year of the Clone Wars CGI television show (with two more seasons of that production to come), Lucas plans to script 100 episodes for the live-action series. “I know exactly what I’m going to do and how I’m going to do it and what the risks are,” he says, setting a tentative 2010 premiere date for the live-action TV series.
