Topic: 2009: Boba Fett + Star Wars TV

TROOPS, tonight on FOX!

yeah, the accent really made it funny...

i loved it ( very emotional )

Awesome love that video :)

yes its class, isnt it. lol   :P

Mandal showed that to me a while back

i like the theme tune, ninjax008 helped me discover who sings it....lol, class :D

I bet they are just Boba as a draw as a marketing ploy and in  the first episode you might catch a glimpse of him in a background shot.
It does not matter to me.If I ma around in 09 I will take what ever new SW to watch I can get.

Even if it's horrible?

If it sucks, im going to find the person responsible, tie them to a chair, and make them watch the show, on a contineous loop(W00T B4D $P3111|\|G!!!!)

Hmmm.... thats interesting.

I'm kind of concerned about how Lucas is doing the writing for the episodes- he's looking for global input which in some ways is cool, but it could also detract from the overall SW feel of the series.  Thoughts?

VG

My only requirement is that it follows continuity, and does not detract from the character's identities.  But I will be ANGRY if they mess up Boba....really angry.

Is there any news as to what channel it would be on?  I really hope it's a channel that carries over into the Canada.  Is it Fox that will be doing it?

I think I've already said which channel it'll be on. The worst most horrid channel there is, broadcast straight from hell.

ABC????
Some of their new shows sound realy stupid *COUGHcavemenCOUGH*

it's probably gonna be on FOX, or something like F/X. either way, George Lucas wants to stick it online.

Fett_II, probably not for free.

So it is Fox.

good point. most likely, it'd be available to hyperspace members, and then the public (YouTube ftw!)

Update:

Confirmed: Boba Fett in Star Wars TV 10/29/20007

Well I guess we'll see how that pans out in 2009.

Sev, yeah, or else this isn't The Boba Fett Fan Club.

For those who don't like to click links, we're talking "100 to 400 episodes" of Boba Fett...

Everyone knows Rick McCallum's full of lies. If you look back over all the little hints he gave us about ROTS before it came out, you'll notice that he lied to us more than half the time. As an example, in an issue of SW Insider he 100% Confirmed that in ROTS we'd find out Yoda's species. Forgive me for not remembering more than just that one example, it is 4:30AM my time, I just woke up, and I'm on 6 hours of sleep.

Miba, we didn't get the memo about McCallum's track record, but thanks for the concern! :)

I know. I'm sorry for seeming grumpy. :) I was very tired when I wrote that.

I can operate on around 6 hrs of sleep.....Cause im awesome. :)
(or not, whatever you chose to belive)

Well, I suppose it's official now that Boba Fett's going to be in the live action TV show... hope it's for the best...

it should be a 3d one. but the it would have bad graphics cause it takes a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time to do that good.

My one wish is that they don't screw up Boba' personality and/or backstory, or even his future story...heck, I just wish they don't screw up.  Period.  I dont care what style of filming they do :P, so long as Fett stays true to his canon portrayal.

Im with MA

However, it doesnt seem to take much for Lucas to decide to "alter" some things about certain characters recently, making a change to Boba not too unexpected.  But hey, there's nothing wrong with looking to the bright side (ie. the producers NOT messing Fett up).

Let's hope he doesn't ignore all material we have read from the books and totally mess about with continuity.

Yes, that would be pretty bad.  And as the TV show would probably be considered canon, there would have to be a lot of ret-cons.

Well, that dooms us then. Cause there's no way he'd pay attention to continuity. For example, look at the Clone Wars cartoons. There are so many non-canon things in there and yet it is sadly considered canon while the true canon goes unnoticed. Just cause tv's more popular and people are more likely to have watched some stupid show than to have actually picked up a book and read it.

actually, since Clone Wars is being entirely re-done, the old show is kaput now.

Fett_II, wait, the animated Clone Wars series is being re-done? I thought they had to wait ten years to make special editions. /sarcasm

Talk about milking the franchise... as well as popular characters.. >_<;

I hope Daniel's acting has improved... >_>
On his IMDB page, he hasn't been in anything since 2003 in the "Legend of Johnny Lingo," which, unsurprisingly, I've never heard of...

Surprised this hasn't been mentioned, but Rick McCallum confirmed Boba Fett is in the Star Wars TV series in the Star Wars Insider. Not a surprise to us here, but it's another confirmation from the source.

http://bobafett.com/news/tv/boba-fett-confirmed-2008/

I think I've said before that McCallum is not to be trusted, as he's "confirmed" numerous other things in the past that had no truth whatsoever.

Not denying it, just wondering but...such as?

im paraphrasing, but mccallum said on one of the dvd commentaries..."in episode three ur gonna find out why fett hates the skywalkers". and that was bull...

He also officially confirmed we would learn Yoda's species in ROTS. And also that Boba would be in ROTS. Those are all I can remember off the top of my head. There was an interview thingie with  him but where there's more, but that's Hyperspace members only at sw.com and I let my subscription run out so I can't go look anymore.

@Miba: Did he announce those claims in SW: Insider too, or where those just internet claims? Because anyone can claim he said something over the internet, anyone can easily forge an interview, ya know?

Not that I would know if he's credible at all, I barely know anything about him, just trying to be reasonable...

Regardless, Boba's such a popular character it's pretty much inevitable that he'll be in the SW TV show...

Yes, he said that in Insider. If I took a while of looking I could find which issues, but I'm a bit busy right now.

Ah, doesn't matter, I believe you. ;D

I don't think i'll ever trust Mccallum after he stated that Boba would be in Ep3, ah well here's to hoping :)

I finally found an image of the poster everyone was talking about last year at Toy Fair that started the speculation of Fett being in the new TV series.  Not a grandiose as I thought it'd be, but still pretty neat.  Enjoy.

Isn't that the poster that is on the front page of this topic?

If that poster lied to me about Boba in the SW TV, I'm going to hunt it down and gut it like a fish..........Only the poster.

Indeed it is.  I usually check the posts from the most recently posted to the first.  Never made it back that far on this one.  Thanks, dude.  Never saw the entire poster before.  Pretty cool.
