Boba in the live action TV series.. (Page 1 of 7)

The last time I checked (months ago), George Lucas had said that he was thinking about putting Daniel in the TV show, but I don't know if he's actually contracted yet.  I like Daniel a lot (I think he was spot on in Ep. II) but I really hope he goes with the personality in the books, instead of just doing what the directors tell him.

And as for us Fetties...you're right on both points.  I hate to imagine people thinking we only like Fett because of some TV show, but then again, we'll have a ton of new members.  If the TV show is really bad, it might make all the fans that hate us start to sympathize with us, and then maybe they won't hate us so much anymore...?

It will be a cold day in hell when George picks up a Star Wars book.

I agree with most everything Miba said, in that making a live action show featuring Fett would butcher the character as we know him.  I'm just a little more worried that he will use Daniel Logan as a "villian" to whatever idiotic, probly Jedi heroes he stars. 
What I would like to see though, is a seperately produced anime 26-part series featuring Boba Fett's better hunts (somewhat like Cowboy Bebop.) As long as George doesn't get his fingers in it, I think the high-quality anime medium could depict Fett really well.
But that's just me....

As long as they do it in the right format...
You see, there is a huge difference between the tv-show, episodic  mediocre-to-horrible cartoonime on TV constantly, and high-quality, 13-26 episode anime.  If George would opt for the first one...Star Wars would be destroyed forever.
But a Fett anime of 26 episodes about his best hunts, created by people who actually understand the way Boba is, and don't go crazy with their creative freedoms...that would be truly awesome.

Yeah, the subtitles were kind of annoying for me...I was watching Hellsing (another good 13-episode anime) with subtitles even though it was dubbed in English (I'm half deaf, I need subtitles).  Nothing the characters said matched up with the subtitles, as if they were completely different scripts...very fustrating to watch.
Still good stuff though.

There's always the books, they explain much more than a tv show could, and have a much better story than one could and with books you don't have to worry that the cast and crew will totally mess everything up. And you don't have to make sure you're home at a certain time to watch it. And you don't have to have commercials.

Besides, look at all the previous tv messups: The Holiday Special. The Ewok Adventures (liveaction), Ewoks (cartoon), Droids (cartoon). Ewoks is decent. But Droids just makes you confused and doesn't really stick to canonity a whole lot. And The Ewok Adventures? Well the first episode was really bad, but the second was at least a bit better than the other. But I think they've more than proved that SW is not meant for tv. Clone Wars even, people think it's canon but it just messes up canon. It's faster to watch a show than it is to read a book and so people will assume the tv shows are canon when they're not and SW fans will be devided even more and more fights will break out and eventually we'll all be a bunch of nitpicking, pathetic group of people who used to be fans of something that was the greatest thing at the time but is now nothing more than something you watch when you want a laugh.

Yeah, I don't like how Anakin looks, or Mace, or a few other people either. Obi-Wan and Asajj looked ok, to me. Yoda was ok too, I think.

For the star wars show i see a kinda of stargate style of live action. Shown on Sky one about 8 at night on a weeknight (this will only makes sense to ppl in the u.k). I've heard that each episode is going to be about a different minor character. I would love to see a two parter for the first episode featuring Boba. But i can't see how they could do episode after episode about Boba with out changing the character. To me Boba is more of a comic and book charater, where his point of view is his internal monlouges rather than him interacting with others in a vocal way. And it would be nice to see minor characters from all 6 movies too.

As for the whole issue of other ppl becoming Boba fan's cus of the show, then the more the better. I'm not bothered who does or does not like boba fett or why. All that matters is i like and what character means to me.

Oh yes, there is an interesting thought... D'harhan could be in the episodes. That would be cool...

My husband turned me on to Animae. I first watched stuff that had dubbed English. Yes, I'm a heathen. If you ever get a chance, check out a film called "Riding Bean" (it's the precursor to The Transporter, with a vaguely Fett-esque guy with fast car for hire), a series called "appel seed" ( dark future, with a cop turned robot, and his fem fetale partner. Really well done, kind of Blade Runner feel to it), or a series called Ranma (this is a crazy series. A man and his son go on a Kung Fu quest against the wishes of his wife. They fall into these cursed pools: one turns the man into a giant panda, the other his son, into a girl)  THe man hides out at his best friend's dojo while they try to figure out how to reverse the curse. They change forms when hit with water. I can't even tell you how funny it is.  From your posts here, I think you'd get a kick out of it.  One of the beautiful daughters is this butt kicking karate girl who fights with Ranma.  There's this nutty kid who's obsessed with ancient sword fighting who's in love with 'the little red headed girl', what Ranma becomes when he's hit with water.

I agree with you on your cautious approach to Lucas and Television.  If he can make it dramatic on par with Battle Star Galactica, I think I can buy it.  The intervening years before ANH should be gritty.  If he goofs it up, or makes Fett a foil for the Jedi padawan of the week, I will be back to sticking pins in my Flanneled One Voodoo doll.

I know that. I didn't say it was an anime. o_o

Nobody ever said it was going to be a cartoon, just that a serious anime would be nice. 
By Toy Story, you probably mean Computer Generated Images animation, CGI.  That would be pretty expensive to do if he wanted anything with higher quality than the Adventures of Jimmy Neutron.
Might be counting on the millions of Star Wars fans who would watch it no matter how bad it is.

I heard they would be doing a TV series of the Clone Wars in CGI as another thing on Cartoon Network. I am not sure when they would be showing it though...

But, a Boba Fett one (if done right) would be great, I would watch that anyday (of done right that is)
