Star Wars To Air As Animated Sitcom 268
The Bastard writes "As if the Star Wars Holiday Special and Jar-Jar weren't insulting enough to fans, George Lucas has decided to turn the franchise into an animated sitcom. I have a bad feeling about this." The article says that Seth Green is involved, which either sets off your late April Fool's Day alarm, immeasurable dread, or excitement.

Concidering we already have Star Wars - the Clone Wars do we really need another one? I doubt a "playful and irreverent tone" is what the fans want. I don't really want Yoda to start cracking wise about force.
As much as I think Seth is funny I do hope it won't be Robot Chicken - Star Wars episodes on steroids. Those little bits are very hit and miss and once a season is quite enough.

I've never had an original idea my entire life, but I sure know how to recycle tired jokes.
I'm Seth Green. I came to fame by riding Mike Meyers and Joss Whedon's coattails. And I named my production company after a monkey. Ain't I clever? A MONKEY!
I'm so clever in fact that George Lucas, director of the New Star Wars Trilogy and executive producer of 'Howard the Duck' has chosen ME to be a consultant on a Star Wars comedy. A COMEDY about Star Wars! Nothing says comedy like scouring the net and repeating all the Star Wars jokes that you've all been making for decades, but you'll laugh at them again because I'm regurgitating your digested food and getting paid for it! RIGHT!?

Where are the Grand Admiral Thrawns and Admiral Daalas?
More importantly, where is Mara Jade in a skimpy kick-ass undercover dancer's uniform? Don't get me wrong, Leia looked good in gold, but you just can't beat the idea of a piss-and-vinegar redhead in similar attire.
For that matter, let's throw Admiral Daala into that skimpy dancer's uniform mix too. Just for good measure.
