New
Star Wars Show?
The
semi-rumor around town is that there will be a new animated tv show of Star
Wars, called Star Wars Reclamation that will take place fifteen years after the
end of Return of the Jedi and will have both new and old characters. So, the
show would help laying out the universe for the anticipated JJ. Abrams 2015 Star
Wars Episode VII.
But
at this point most people are disappointed and perhaps angry at Disney for
laying off hundreds of people from Lucas former company and don’t expect much
from the company.
Why
semi-rumor?
Because
although haven’t been no official news or press releases yet, one of the former
employees of Lucas has leaked a synopsis for the show.
“RECLAMATION is a character-driven war epic set
in the storied STAR WARS universe. Making use of decades of media as influence,
it will be and all-new story designed to introduce the audience to themes and
characters pivotal to EPISODE VII and beyond.
Drawing from the
talent and workflow structure employed in the creation of THE CLONE WARS
animated series, our goal with RECLAMATION is to create a show with similarly
wide appeal in terms of viewership and marketing possibilities. Besides again
targeting children and young adults, we believe we can also appeal to the 18-49
demographic, by focusing on the ORIGINAL TRILOGY era characters and imagery.
Fifteen years have
passed since RETURN OF THE JEDI and the death of Anakin Skywalker. The Galactic
Empire has been beheaded for over a decade, but a state of civil war
continues…The Union of Imperial Loyalists, a loose alliance of systems loyal to
the Empire’s cause, refuses to cease hostilities until Coruscant is surrendered
and abandoned.
Our story begins at a turning
point in the struggle. Supreme Chancellor Mon Mothma and Vice Chair Leia Organa
are due to meet Grand Moff Ono in the first round of long-awaited peace
talks…Everyone in the room — Republic, Union, and Jedi alike — are shocked as
legions of black droids issue forth from the depths of Coruscant, destroying
indiscriminately.
The aftermath of this
attack sets the stage for an unlikely and uneasy alliance. Republic and
Loyalist worlds are forced to unite to repel the unforeseen threat concealed
beneath their very feet. The self-replicating machines lead heroes on both
sides on a journey into the underworld — where technology and the Force itself
collide — to uncover a mystery almost as old as the Republic itself: the dark
legacy of Level 1313.”
If this turns out to
be real, it not only act has a bridge between the last movie and the new one, but as a replacement for the Clone Wars.
