The New York Post got wind of the “Deadwood meets The Sopranos” rumor, and they also report that Lucas met with cable channel executives, including HBO, last year… Though that could easily have been for The Clone Wars.
On that note, Entertainment Weekly’s Dalton Ross ponders Star Wars cartoons.
- Space: Ion thrusters propel real spacecraft.
- Fans: Georgia collector Pete Eckroat profiled by the Rome News-Tribune.
- Books: Matthew Wilhelm Kapell, an anthropologist and historian from my neck of the woods, explores the Star Wars phenomenon in his book Finding the Force of the Star Wars Franchise: Fans, Merchandise, and Critics. He’s doing a signing in Modesto today.
I find myself largely agreeing with Dalton Ross, though not about the Ewoks. I’ll spare you my Ewok defense, but I always liked the fuzzy little guys, myself. As I said, aside from the Ewok thing, he does make a good point. I admit I’m a little worried about TCW, too. I can’t look at it negatively yet. I accept the risks, but right now I’m too excited. I just want it. Then I’ll worry about it if it sucks or not.
Hi to you all. I just discovered your cite when a friend told me she had seen mention of my book on it. The book aside (I’m not here to plug it too much) I’m just dropping a quick note to all involved that CJ is a wonderful cite. Keep up the great work and know I’ll keep checking back to see what you are all thinking and doing….
