SW T.V. Watch & Luke's Lightsaber, etc.
Oct. 29th, 2007 06:07 pmApparently, there are plans for Luke's ROTJ lightsaber once it returns to Earth at the end of Discovery's mission:
The Jedi lightsaber, which appeared in Return of the Jedi, will also make its way back to NASA’s Space Center Houston once Discovery returns to Earth. “The Jedi lightsaber will have traveled more than six million miles in space after this mission,” says Roger Bornstein, Marketing Director for Space Center Houston. “And we’ll have the honor of displaying this flown movie artifact once it returns.” The Jedi lightsaber will be part of a new exhibit at Space Center Houston that will showcase a collection of famous Star Wars movie props and a full-size X-wing starfighter through January 1st.
So if you live in Houston, go check out the only SW item that has ever actually been in space.
At this past weekend's Star Wars Reunion in France, guests Rick McCallum and Steve Sansweet dished on SW t.v. and a possible SW saga box set:
*Boba Fett is in the show and McCallum would prefer Daniel Logan for the part
*The show will be on cable
*Six writers have been hired and will start working next month
*McCallum hopes to get John Williams to do the score...TFN's report says McCallum wants a new score for each episode but this sounds totally unrealistic. No, it sounds insane. Either something got lost in the translation from French to English or the Ricker's seriously jet lagged ;).
*A contract would allow for 100 episodes, then expanding to 400 episodes later on, with EU characters introduced after the first 100 episodes
*The Clone Wars will have 21 episodes in its first season, at 22 minutes each (this would make it a half-hour show in the U.S. with commercials)
*CW trailers will air once a network is chosen
*CW may be broadcast in many countries at the same time
*Lucasfilm is waiting to see who wins the DVD format wars between HD DVD and Blu Ray before it issues a saga box set, but once a victor emerges, they will have 100 hours of documentaries for all 6 movies. Wow!
Update: TFN says the Family Guy SW special will be out on DVD on January 15.
