Star Wars Much Ado About Something?

Tomas Dolby posted a fun update on his blog about some future Star Wars projects that has got many running in circles. Is it much ado about nothing rather then something?

Thomas Dolby, poptastic mastermind of Hyperactive and She Blinded Me With Science fame, posted an update to his blog about his current stay in Tiburon, CA, across the bay from San Francisco. His host, he revealed, is one Paul Sebastien of Lucasarts. The kicker comes when Dolby writes:

Last night he was telling me a little about the forthcoming Star Wars-related TV show, movie and online games—very cool indeed.

Because of the probable NDA he would have to be as vague as to mention a TV show, Movie and Online Games. This would keep the actual project secret and would still be true since Lucas Arts is working on all three anyhow. It sounds to me like he is referring to many of the projects that are already in the works.

Game: The long awaited KTOR online MMORPG. I can’t wait for that to come out. There is also Star Wars Battlefront 3, also can’t wait for that one. And probably several other tie in games I would be shocked if there weren’t.

Lucas Arts is working on a live action TV show, a project that has been in the pipeline for a while now. I hope that is what he was referring to. I want to see this project. Since the success of releasing the Clone Wars pilot as a movie I hope this will be repeated for the live action show.

What I wish they would do is:

KTOR movie, maybe a tie in to the MMORPG
A movie taking the Star Wars saga forward after the Yavin event or maybe a movie version of Legacy of the Force!

I can hope.

Weekend Craft: Drawing Aurra Sing

October 2, 2009 in Art, Crafts & DIY by Brian Logee

Weekend Craft: Drawing Aurra Sing Aurra Sing is one of the coolest Bounty Hunters in the Star Wars Universe. Now we can draw her with six easy steps.

Star Wars illustrator Jessica Hickman explains with these easy-to-follow steps how to draw the bounty hunter Aurra Sing from The Clone Wars animated TV series. (Star Wars)

Aurra Sing is the closest thing Star Wars has to an imortal with her fathers origins being unkown. She was taken in as a young child and trained as a Jedi padawan.

At the age of nine she was kidnapped by pirates and tricked to blame the Jedi for her situation. She was then sold to the Hutts and Received training as an assassin.

She took her collective training becoming a bounty hunter and her anger toward the Jedi to add the title of Jedi hunter.

I can’t wait to see her involvement in the second season of Clone Wars.

Meet The Bounty Hunters

September 30, 2009 in tv/series by Brian Logee

Star Wars Clone Wars season two is the Rise of the Bounty Hunters so who can we look forward to meet. The trailer below gives us a look at some.

Featured in the trailer.

Cad Bane

We met him at the end of season two. After the death of Jango Fett, Bane became the most feared hunter. He will be the main bounty hunter in this season.

Aurra Sing

My personal favorite and in my book was always the most deadly bounty hunter out there. This is due in part to her Jedi training in use of the force, her training as an Anzati assassin and partially because of her heritage.

Cato Parasitti

A shape-changing lethal assassin willing to work for anyone who could afford her astronomical fee.

Bossk

We know him best from his appearance in Empire Strikes Back. A Trandoshan which is probably all needed to be known since the species are best known as pirates, slavers, and bounty hunters. Bossk is well known for his love of hunting Wookies.

Others I hope to see:

Durge

We get to see him in action on the animated clone wars shorts. He is particularly formidable as a bounty hunter due to his Gen’Dai heritage and enhanced battle armor. He has a fondness for hunting Mandalorians and was disappointed to have to settle with Jango Fetts clones. Though that did not stop him from killing many clones. I hope he makes an appearance in this season.

Clone Wars Season Two

September 29, 2009 in Featured, Headline, tv/series by Brian Logee

Rise of the Bounty Hunters

In season two we move from a two sided war to introducing the Bounty Hunters. The show primers October 2nd on Cartoon Network.

We’re going to see a different kind of adversary, posing a different kind of threat… They’re bounty hunters and mercenaries who are taking advantage of the turmoil to make a big score. We got a taste at the end of the first season with Cad Bane, but we’re going to see a lot more of that. They’re a resource for taking out Jedi — and they’re good at their jobs. Things are going to get ugly. -DAVE FILONI

From Season one to Season Two

This season brings promises of being better then season one. With season one Lucas was restricted by working in the new medium. They also admit that season one had many more single episodes that did not span much of an arc.

I like how Lucas and Filoni are promising us more in season two. They have worked out the kinks in their production model. This has allowed them to put in more characters, more action and I hope more story depth as well.

The first season was similar to Episode IV, in that it was fairly light and the conflict was straightforward. With the second season, we’re going deeper into the stories and the character dynamics. The progression is a lot like the difference between A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back. -GEORGE LUCAS

The Bounty Hunters

In season two we will get to meet many bounty hunters: Cad Bane, Aurra Sing, Cato Parasitti, and Bossk. For more on each read Meet The Bounty Hunters.
