Star Wars saga will continue after next week's release of Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. George Lucas has confirmed he will shoot a tie-in TV series.
George Lucas has confirmed he will shoot a tie-in Star Wars TV series which will be produced in Australia.
The writer-director confirmed speculation about the Star Wars series, once more praising Sydney - where Star Wars episodes I and II were shot - as a location.
"We're going to do a live action show based on minor characters in the Star Wars series.
"It's a spin-off, it doesn't involve any of the key characters. It's a different world unto itself between episodes three Revenge of the Sith; and four Star Wars: A New Hope," he told Australian The Daily Telegraph.
"It's a definite that we do it - the rest we haven't discussed on any level," producer Rick McCallum confirmed.
The intention was to produce 100 hour-long Star Wars TV episodes that would use Sydney actors, directors and crew. - that being the number necessary to sell the series into lucrative television syndication.
George Lucas also plans to develop his Star Wars-based Clone Wars 3D-animated series from his new Singapore animation studio.
