Star Wars Live Action Series Gets Serious



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.

Love My Way and Secret Life of Us can be characterised by the focus on relationships and emotional landscapes (traditional 'chick shows', if you will). Bringing this element into the world of Star Wars sees a marked departure of the final three films and animated Clone Wars, where the primary audience was children.

This throws the new series into a whole new spotlight, and should excite fans of the Star Wars universe looking towards more adult fare.

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

I think Vulcan Eddie's confusing a couple of things into one, as well - Russell T Davies has stated that he considers the Time Lords started the Time War when they sent the Fourth Doctor, Sarah and Harry to Skaro to prevent the creation of the Daleks (only being partially successful, setting them back by a milleniun or so, and completely altering their future timeline - a discussion for another day, that one!) in "Genesis of the Daleks".

Later, in "Resurrection of the Daleks", the Daleks have captured the Fifth Doctor, Tegan and Turlough with the intent of duplicating them and sending the duplicates to Gallifrey to assassinate the Time Lord High Council - which could be seen as their response (the only Dalek story between "Genesis" and "Resurrection" was "Destiny of the Daleks", where the Daleks resurrected their long-dead creator Davros, but that was for a tactical advantage in a logic-deadlocked war with the Movellans).
