Star Wars, the live action series & Star Wars: The Clone Wars
Being totally honest, we don't have much news here, but there is some news. We have received word that the son of the late director, Richard Marquand, James “Jim” Marquand has recently signed on to direct the Star Wars live action series. Marquand is a film director, producer , and writer , and had recently, wrote , directed , and produced the British underworld drama, “Dead Man's Cards”. He is currently working on a comedy film called “Whores with Guns”.

According to the producer of the series, Rick McCallum, the series will be broadcast on cable. Both Disney and News Corp are rumored to have shown interest in acquiring broadcast rights for the show, with the former offering ABC and ABC Family and the latter offering FOX and FX. Lucas is also interested in distributing the series via the internet—specifically StarWars.com. Rick McCallum expects the series to be released simultaneously worldwide, though he says it is still too early to tell.

Now that that's over, we can get to “Star Wars: The Clone Wars”. Unlike the live action series, something rather big and unexpected happened: ''Anakin has a Padawan'! That's right, a Padawan&mdash;Ahsoka Tano!!
