Let me preface the news from DragonCon this past weekend with, "This is most definitive news we've heard yet since it was announced in 2005."
In case you ignore TFN, don't get jedi_news on your f-list, you never visit ClubJade or EUCantina, or you don't read Bryan Young's page on Examiner.com...Steve Sansweet announced at the Lucasfilm presentation at DragonCon that the show will likely debut in 2012, it will be an hour-long weekly drama, and expect to hear "news from Daniel's (Logan) camp sometime soon." So I guess that means it's a go that Logan will be reprising his role as Boba Fett. He's like what, 20 now? So he'll be old enough for action and mayhem. And I guess that means Boba Fett has some kind of role in the series. How prominent that role will be remains to be seen.
Once Logan is officially announced as part of the cast, I expect other cast announcements to come down the pike over the next few months.

Oh, KJA...
Sep. 7th, 2009 05:31 pmKevin J. Anderson, whom I've met twice back in the 1990s, hasn't written SW in a long time but certainly didn't hold back in his opinions of Eps I-III at a DragonCon panel:

Oh dear. Granted, Anderson's continuity was blown out of the water with the prequels (much to the relief of people who don't like his books or the EU overall) but still...it's just annoying as heck. As are the usual bobbling of the fanboy heads. I'm grateful for people who understand the saga; anyone who thinks there's no hero's journey in the prequels isn't paying attention or has no idea what the hero's journey (assuming it's based on Joseph Campbell) means. That panel was just a waste of time, really.
