I don't think there should be a sic after the term Jedis because it is correct. Putting an apostrophe there would be incorrect. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.246.183.211 (talk) 02:13, 7 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• The reason the sic is there is because several people have tried to remove the "s" from the quote, saying the proper word should be "Jedi". The sic is needed because the word Lucas himself used in the interview is "Jedis" but people keep changing it to "Jedi" because they don't realize that it's the exact word Lucas used.

Ok I realize that Lucas used the words "Jedis" in an intervue but that is not how it is pronounced and it never was. look at all the moves, which were writen by Lucas I must remind you, it does not mater that he used the wourd "Jedis" in ONE intervew becouse the REAL pronuceation is "JEDI"

They should call it "Star Wars: The Dark Times" since that's what the time period is officially called.

Officially by whom?80.41.111.52 (talk) 05:54, 26 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Off-handed comment doesn't make it official.

The Dark Times, eh? Say, not a bad subtitle. Don-Don (talk) 18:31, 8 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In a section it says Lucas told the creators of 'Star Wars: Republic' to save Vos...then afterwards the paragraph disagrees...so which is correct? - Sigurd

This page will be a very much developing page over the next few years. Feel free to add any facts, rumors, or anything else you find out about this series. Also post any comments or suggestions you have for the development of this, or any of the other star wars spin-off films pages here. The Wookieepedian 06:40, 26 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• Wikipedia is not the place to put rumors. Only substantiated facts from official sources should be added to the article page, and these should have their sources cited.79.66.9.194 (talk) 14:48, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I read that George Lucas will direct Season 1, and "hand it off" to someone else during Seasons 2-4 (not sure what it said exactly). I think I read somewhere that a "Supershadow" will direct 2-4, and perhaps even film sequels (Episodes 7-9). Please post to User_Talk:Shultz if you have any pertinent information.

SuperShadow is one of the biggest liars on the net. He has made hundreds of claims since the beginning of the prequels claiming he is friends with George Lucas himself. Shadow has even contradicted himself many times. The guy seems to really enjoy lying to the star wars community. There won't be a 7, 8, or 9, either directed by Lucas or SuperShadow, just this TV series. SuperShadow is just some loser named Mickey Suttle. He is hated at the worst level by most of us fans who know the truth behind his lies. Check out Supershadow for more information on this moron. Adamwankenobi 04:28, 20 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Why hasn't George Lucas sued this guy for libel?Cousert (talk)

Do you know of any rumors that the series might follow a character through Imperial recruitment and training?-

No, I haven't heard these rumors, but I'll add them to the list. At this early stage, any rumors are good rumors, and fair game, with the way Lucas and crew change their minds! Adamwankenobi 21:11, 24 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

You could potentially have Biggs Darklighter's recruitment, training, and ship-jumping. I mean, that happened JUST before episode IV. In fact, in the novelization and comic book, Biggs meets Luke and tells him all about it before Luke leaves Tatooine. Pumeleon 23:22, 11 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The only problem with this rumor is just that its a rumor. Any rumors about the show should not be included in the article, But thats just my opinon. Cinco555 17:59, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

100 episodes? How could there be 100 episodes?It would cost a fortune and not even george lucas I think could pay for that.

Actually, this has been confirmed by Rick McCallum to be that long. The effects and money spent of course won't be nearly as much as with the films. So, yes 100 episodes is realistic. Adamwankenobi 21:09, 24 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, ok but wouldn't that take years to make,a lot of years.

The show is supposedly going to last four seasons, 25 episodes per season. It would be made similar to Battlestar Galactica or Enterprise or something. It would use the technology that show uses and techniques. Lucas even claims he's going to film it using consumer-level cameras, so, yeah, it could probably be made in a short time with a lower budget, like all the other major sci-fi shows. Adamwankenobi 16:43, 25 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, we need a source for this or I am removing the 100 episodes. The show hasn't even started to be made yet so there is no guarantee that it will run for this long. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia and is for facts, not speculations. Ben W Bell 08:14, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The source is linked to in the external links. Rick McCallum, the show's producer, said at the ROTS DVD press event that George envisions "somewhere around 100 hours between episode three and four." The Wookieepedian 09:33, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What is actually said is

"He envisions somewhere like 100 hours between Episode III and Episode IV with a lot of characters that we haven't met but have been developed in other novels and other things," McCallum said.

This doesn't actually mean the series will for definite be 100 episodes long. It may only run for a 24 episode series, it may run for four series, you cannot predict that and put it as fact in an encyclopaedia. I'm amending the page to reflect this. Ben W Bell 10:49, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ayla Secura is dead she will not return,it is rumored the actor will return but definently dead. Lucas would never do this. How would the scene open after bieng shot to the ground 27-33 times Ayla rises "what the hell just happened"?!..........no, if shes alive then so is Mace Windu, Kit Fisto and Zett! -Anonymous

You don't know that. If you'll remember, in ROTS, as she was being shot, the camera went behind a huge leaf. This leaves it open. Adamwankenobi 08:46, 5 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Don't be silly, Adam. She's dead. Coffee 18:35, 5 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Guys, chill out! Lets hope Aayla has a sister who is AT LEAST as attractive as Aayla herself was. Fanmail George Lucas today. Millions will be glad you did. --Shultz 01:55, 6 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The three most attractive SW girls: Padme, Young Beru, and Aayla! The Wookieepedian 03:25, 6 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

to the dude up there they shot her like 20- 30 times how about i shoot you 20-30 times and see if a pan behind a leaf saves you !!!

What is this about a post-Episode 6 TV series being filmed, with an aging Luke Skywalker? This show is confirmed as being in between Episodes 3 and 4. And production won't start for a while either. I think the TheForce.net article is total BS. I say it should be removed. --Hotdoglives 06:47, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

That's the great thing about it. We can put it in the article saying that it is a fact that TF.N reported it, but not that the actual rumor is true. I feel that anything reported by TF.N is notable, isnce they are one of the most trustedfan sites out there. The Wookieepedian 06:50, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the rumor, as in the end, I was a little uncomfortable reporting something unofficial like that. I've now removed ALL non-official reports from the article. The Wookieepedian 10:44, 4 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

According to the official Chronology, the alliance won several battle before a New Hope. But only small victories, not major ones. I think this entry should edited to show that.

OK. But where is the source for this? The Wookieepedian 20:40, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the opening paragraph of Star Wars IV: A New Hope reads...

It is a period of civil war. Rebel spaceships, striking from a hidden base, have won their first victory against the evil Galactic Empire.

Now, we can interpret what "Rebel spaceships, striking from a hidden base, have won their first victory..." means in several ways. First, this could be the first victory of Rebel spaceships - i.e., those officially belonging to the new "Rebel Alliance" which is a formal body distinct from any old rebellious spaceships previous to the official formation of the Alliance. Or, another way to interpret it could be that the rebel ships WHICH WERE attacking from this hidden rebel base have won THEIR first victory. That would mean that Rebel ships had victories prior, but this is the first victory of the rebel ships stationed out of the new hidden base. Or, of course, it could mean that a real "victory" would be something more than merely beating the ships or accomplishing missions, but something really substantial - like getting the plans to the Death Star. That's probably the best interpretation. --Daniel (talk) 04:58, 22 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

He mentions that Qui-Gon has returned from "the netherworld of the force" and can teach Obi-Wan in a form of communication Yoda will teach him. This statement has no reference to the original trilogy, so it's possible we will see such training in the TV series. 06:57, 9 June 2006 (UTC)'''''Thank You and why is lucas doing to the STAR WARS just why wold he do this'''''mathadees

what about when ob1 appears to luke on hoth and tells him to goto the degobah system. To name but a few times that dead jedi appear as ghosts and communicate !!!!!!!

Yoda is specifically talking about the ability to appear as a ghost after you die. This is not something Jedi normally did. Normally when a Jedi is killed they are made "One with the Force" and lose their individuality. But if they have trained themselves in this technique, then when they die, they disappear as Obi-Wan did, and can then appear as a ghost. Somehow, over the years, Darth Vader must have learned these secrets as well, which is why Anakin can appear before Luke at the end of VI alongside Yoda and Obi-Wan. This is why Obi-Wan said, "if you strike me down I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine" and why he let himself be killed - so he could continue to assist Luke in ghost form. The fact that Qui-Gon had managed to retain some individual identity was foreshadowed in Episode II. When Anakin went nuts and killed the Tusken Raider (sand people) camp, Yoda felt a disturbance in the Force. If you listen carefully, you'll hear Qui-Gon's voice yelling, "Anakin!"--Daniel (talk) 05:05, 22 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

So if Qui-Gon is going to be a ghost, why is it he did not disappear when he died? Also if you remember Vader didn't disappear when he died either. He and Qui-Gon were both cremated, Only Yoda, Obi-Wan disappeared.--Subman758 (talk) 14:53, 29 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You forget, Anakin/Vader is the most powerfull Jedi whose midichlorian levels is far more than Yoda. If any Jedi had the ability of retaining his individuality then it must be Anakin, also Anakin sacrificed himself to save Luke, Obi-Wan might have seen this as his conversion back to the light and helped his spirit.--The Mercenary 73 (talk) 17:40, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I don't think Qui-Gon had fully perfected the practice. He had only just discovered it before dying, which is why he could only reach them through faint voices and meditation (and why he didn't vanish).--Daniel (talk) 20:36, 12 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In the main artical under the story section in the first paragraph the following sentence exists--- "In a recent interview, when asked about the show, McCallum replied, "Think about bounty hunter, that’s all I can tell you."" I wonder who he means, did someone pull a Vader or Greivious style stunt here and bring Jango Fett back after episodeII or did McCallum mean Boba, or someone totally diffrent?

I think Boba's origin will further be delved into.

How about Kyle Katarn?

Katarn was never a bounty hunter. He was a mercenary for hire. - Dizrythmia —Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.88.183.103 (talk) 06:20, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

From whats been said by McCallum, Lucas and co, it should feature the likes of Bossk and Dengar. They were minor characters in the original saga and thats who's stories are said to be told.--The Mercenary 73 (talk) 17:42, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Any information will be apprecieated. Fergananim 16:39, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• I seriously doubt that production has begun, as it has been pushed back until '09. I really don't think that it would be two years until it came out if prodution just started. Also, it may get delayed more, as in a recent interview, Lucas said that there is possily another animated series, like the 3D one, that will come out before this. I would deffinately say that there is a very good chance that it will be about '10 before this comes out, but please Lucas prove me wrong! Supergeeky1 08:01, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It says it is confirmed that Anthony Daniels has signed on to play C3PO once more. However, I would like to point out the fact that the same site had once reported that Harrison Ford had been approached by Lucas to do another Star Wars movie. I still don't believe that it is officialy confirmed. You would think StarWars.com would be reporting this, but they have yet to say anything about it. So I wonder if this should actually be said it is confirmed. Supergeeky1 04:27, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I tried to add a couple for you, not much but I hope it helps! RobHoitt 00:10, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but I reverted your edits. Other Wikipedia articles are not much good for references. As for the If Magazine reference, that information was already included within the article's other references. Hotdoglives 03:45, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

At the recent FanExpo in Toronto, he denied anything about playing Boba Fett. According to him, no one's ever approached him about this, and the reference towards this point in the article doesn't say anything about Daniel being asked by Lucas; it says very clearly that George is thinking about maybe including Boba Fett. Same with Tem. They'd both love to do it, but no one's said anything to them about it. Perhaps someone should think about not making inferences from a text, because that's a pretty damn big leap to make from George's comment.. Howa0082 18:23, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well the Internet Movie Database says Daniel Logan will be Boba Fett.How about that?Guess we'll have Boba Fett after all.Yay! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.215.11.160 (talk) 02:02, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Does anyone have a copy of the Toy Fair poster that is straight-on (not at an angle)? I think it would be suitable as a temporary image for the article until we get a more permanent poster or logo. Hotdoglives 04:18, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Photoshop. Any objections to the current revision? Hotdoglives 02:47, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, 400 episodes would be between 16 and 32 years of this show. Bad whoever. Very bad. *newspaper whack* Howa0082 05:51, 21 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
