This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Turns out the next STAR WARS major project may be more like SOPRANOS in the Star Wars universe:

Lucas Working on Sci-Fi Gangster Series

 George Lucas is working on a new live-action Star Wars series for television that is being described as Deadwood meets The Sopranos in outer space, the New York Post reported today (Monday), citing a report that appeared on the sci-fi website collider.com. Lucas's primary Star Wars characters, including Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Darth Vader, will not appear in the series, the newspaper said. The Post said that Lucas has held talks with HBO about carrying the series and has also approached at least one broadcast network, but he has yet to make a deal. The newspaper did not explain the reasons for the broadcast and cable networks' reluctance, especially since the Star Wars movies represent the most successful film franchise in history. Lucas is also working on an animated TV series, The Clone Wars, which is also based on the Star Wars tales.

Well, if there are are people who enjoy it, rock on I guess, but I doubt it will hold any interest for me.

Works for me.  My players are almost always Fringe characters with a few Rebs or ex-Imps thrown into the mix, so it'll be a nice changeup.

My monkeys?  He can have the little poop-flingers.  He really ought to stop wringing the spit out of the Star Wars property, though.

I still haven't bothered watching Jar Jar III.  I doubt I'll watch this either.

How wude!

So it's being "described as" Deadwood meets The Sopranos. Who by? My guess is an over enthusiastic journalist who wants to grab a bit of attention by putting a new spin on old news.

In a few months it'll probably be "described as" Rome meets Tom & Jerry. Or D&D meets Barack Obama. Or The Wedding Singer meets 8 Mile.

Oh, I imagine there will be Jedi.  I see a failed Jedi turning to a life of crime, or perhaps a Jedi in hiding protecting the people.  I don't think you can get away from the Force when you do Star Wars.
