Lucasfilm developing Star Wars Sitcom: Jar Jar to play wacky neighbor

[Dickie Dee]

Lucasfilm Developing
STAR WARS Sitcom!!

Lucasfilm has a new animated “Star Wars” TV comedy in the works. “Daily Show” writer Brendan Hay will be involved, as will “Robot Chicken” creators Seth Green and Matthew Seinreich.

No channel or plotline or characters have been announced, but I’m guessing those super-clumsy Roger Roger Robots might put in an appearance.

Lucasfilm also has a non-animated “Star Wars” series (set between "Revenge of the Sith" and "A New Hope") in the works, and is reportedly developing another animated “Star Wars” series aimed at preschoolers.

Find all of Variety’s story on the matter here.

Don't really care cuz I won't be watching, but WTF?

[The Fake Shemp]

Oh well, Lucas might as well try to be intentionally funny.

[Cheebs]

As fucking insane of a idea this is it is probably the most interesting idea with the Star Wars name on it in 10 years.

[The Dark Shake 3000]

Yeah, too bad the guys behind Robot Chicken are making it. 

[Boogie]

Yeah, too bad the guys behind Robot Chicken are making it. 

shut your mouth, call robot chicken lame

What?

[Cheebs]

I never really got Robot Chicken. It just seemed to be endless dated jokes to 80's cartoons.

[Dickie Dee]

I actually watched an episode of the clone wars show (not the samurai jack one) after people kept recommending it in that aotc review thread on gaf...and it was actually decent

have a crazy backlog of other things i need to watch so doubt i'll ever watch the rest

Yeah I keep hearing that but I can't bring myself to sit down and watch new star wars stuff even if people say it is good. I have been far too over-exposed to that universe already.

[The Dark Shake 3000]

I stopped even feigning interest in anything Star Wars after the prequels. I would be perfectly content if this franchise was put on a moratorium and Lucas turned all his attention to fucking sexy black ladies.

[The Dark Shake 3000]

Lucas should start raping interacial babies instead of his own beloved franchise :'(

Wait, that came out wrong.

[Cheebs]

Lucas is rich as fuck and has endless black pussy, he is living the good life.

[Dickie Dee]

that's kinda how i felt..."this is good, shame about the universe"

surprised i even dl'd it, but i really needed some light fair

[Fresh Prince]

I want to be corny and make a joke about the dark side 

[Cheebs]

Also is the first news related topic about George Lucas and/or Star Wars that wasn't first posted by ManaByte in EB history?

gawdamn, well done George.

[Great Rumbler]

It's hard to even feign interest in Star Wars these days.

[The Fake Shemp]

I don't know how ManaByte does it.

[fistfulofmetal]

i'm interested in what will happen in 30 or so years when Lucas dies and a new crop of people take over Star Wars.

[Fresh Prince]

Somehow I think an Osbourne's style show about Lucas and his family would be more interesing.

[Cheebs]

Hmm. He is dating a much younger black chick and his daughter is some sort of crazy professional fighter:


It could work.

[tehjaybo]

and Lucas turned all his attention to fucking sexy black ladies.

Still not seeing it.

[Cheebs]

She is not OMG AMAZING but she is out of Lucas's league by far looks wise.

[Boogie]

Hmm. He is dating a much younger black chick and his daughter is some sort of crazy professional fighter:

"Professional fighter" is pushing it.  She's had two fights.  1-1, got her ass kicked in the first fight.

[The Fake Shemp]

Lucas and I share the same neckline, and the same taste in ladies.

[Boogie]

She is not OMG AMAZING but she is out of Lucas's league by far looks wise.

OMG AMAZING-enough in that pic. 

[Cheebs]

Imagine what the  sex tape would look like though. 

[The Dark Shake 3000]

Lucas and I share the same neckline, and the same taste in ladies.

I thought you liked Asians?

[Boogie]

Imagine what the  sex tape would look like though. 

I would rather have not.

Ban Cheebs.

Leper Willco.

[Fresh Prince]

She looks athletic like the total anthesis of George. She must do all the work  :'(

[Dickie Dee]

I wonder if his neck is an erogenous zone

[The Dark Shake 3000]

She looks athletic like the total anthesis of George. She must do all the work  :'(

She must do all the carrying.

[Diunx]

Meh.

Weird. In a "new Star Wars series" thread, my first thought about the above picture was "Jar Jar looks more realistic this time."

[Fresh Prince]

Her arms do look toned.

[The Fake Shemp]

I thought you liked Asians?

Unless Persian chicks count, nope.

[Ichirou]

I never really got Robot Chicken. It just seemed to be endless dated jokes to 80's cartoons.

I think you have to be a certain age to "get" Robot Chicken.  I think I'm around the perfect age demographic for that show.

[The Dark Shake 3000]

It seems like Family Guy on speed with shitty stop motion to me. I can see why others like it, but them being involved in a Star Wars sitcom does nothing to entice me at all.

[GilloD]

She is not OMG AMAZING but she is out of Lucas's league by far looks wise.

OMG AMAZING-enough in that pic. 

Spike Lee is like "Maaannn can you believe this shit?".

Is that Spike Lee? I met him once. He's fucking short.

[The Dark Shake 3000]

Spike Lee is like six inches shorter than me, and I'd say I'm probably of average height. Dude is like an older black Tom Cruise.

[Human Snorenado]

DEM BOOBIES

boooooooooooooobs

[brawndolicious]

I think it's funny, the only good thing that Seth Green currently makes.  That's the bad thing about this idea is it'll probably be shitastic family guy type of humor with jokes that have no context that will buttrape the Star Wars name into an obscure piece of nostalgia we can't explain to our spawn.

That's the Expanded Universe, isn't it?

[Donono]

Lucas should produce a Shakespearean tragedy set in the Starwars Universe.

Make it 3D.

I'd pay to see that.

[The Sceneman]

I love big fake tits

[The Sceneman]

w/ big juggs

[WrikaWrek]

George Lucas took comments about not being black people in the first Star Wars too far.

[Great Rumbler]

Lucas should produce a Shakespearean tragedy set in the Starwars Universe.

That's what he tried to do with the Prequel Trilogy and it was a disaster.

robot chicken is just an animated version of this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twisted_Toyfare_Theatre

Iron Man is a comical drunk, and is rarely seen sober, a parody of the fact that the real character is a recovering alcoholic. However after going to rehab and recovering he attempted to reinstate prohibition which caused a "Civil War" to break out with most of Megoville joining Cap's Secretly Drunk Avengers. Iron Man retuned to his usual drunk self however after Hawkeye shot him with a booze arrow.

i find twisted toyfare theater to be funnier, but robot chicken has its moments

The Toyfare guys write Robot Chicken actually, but Seth Green takes all the credit.

The best Twisted Mego Theater ever was the one where the Ghostbusters find Obi-Wan's ghost on Hoth.

[The Dark Shake 3000]

Lucas

While the rest of us whiny bitches are complaining about him raping our childhoods online, dude is probably titty fucking the entire cast of Living Single.

[Great Rumbler]

Lucas

He's got an estimated net worth of $3 billion. BILLION.

[Cheebs]

And he self-funds all his own (shitty) movies/tv shows so he doesn't ever have to deal with the studio system except for distribution.

And of course the endless lovely black titties. Lucas is living it up.

[The Dark Shake 3000]

He and Speilberg look up Victoria's Secret catalogues online during fucking Thanksgiving dinner and shit

They might have ruined cinema, but they're living it up

[Cheebs]

I really wonder if Ben Affleck over-exaggerated that story. It seems way to weird to be made up.

The 'Fleck don't lie

Yeah, because the Twisted Mego Theater guys, having written a niche-targeted fumetti with dolls for a direct-sales-only magazine for toy collectors would definitely have gotten a TV contract on their own. Seth should have just stuck to being a fan and writing the introductions for the compendiums. Who needs fatcat Hollywood insider help?

I give you five rolleyes out of five:

Where is the Exasperatingly Large Rolleyes icon, anyway?
