Empire Rising

Some interesting news/rumour last week about the Star Wars TV series from Australia’s Sci Fi TV.

Rumours about the pre-production of Star Wars, the live action series, to be shot in Australia, have been confirmed by several inside sources.

The quality and style of writing that will be used will be of the highest quality, and local, and writers will be sourced from outside traditional Science Fiction shows. Several big names within the Australian industry (including writers from the Award-winning Love My Way and the Award-winning Secret Life of Us) have been approached by Star Wars uber-producer, Rick McCallum.

More solidification of rumour into fact will come as soon as possible.

I’ve never watched Love My Way or Secret Life of Us, but I’m all up for some character driven Star Wars as long as they keep it Sci Fi! What they would really need in the show is some great heroes and villians that are memorable and would form what would be, A New Hope.
