The "pick your own changes to the movies" is an interesting idea indeed. It would help for people like me, and a few others on here it seems, that like many of the improvements, but find some off putting.
Honestly I have no problems with probably 95% of them, but the musical number and the added "No" in Return of the Jedi don't really leave the best taste in my mouth. Whatever happened to the importance of a silent inner struggle? Oh well.
The only problem with that is that we are not the content creators. Art is not a democracy, and cry as we may, it is not our story to tell. And I know I'll take heat for this, but even if Disney has the rights to release the original versions of the films, I hope it only happens if it is with Lucas' blessing.
As far as the TV series, yes it has tons of scripts done already, and has for quite some time. Originally it was being made for cable, and they wanted no station to have any creative say in the process, on top of that with the effects budget they could not proceed with production until costs were under $5 million per episode. McCallum made it sound like they were not close to that yet, but he was very pleased with the scripts, and the show had a working title of Star Wars: Underground, though McCallum later denied that. It focused on crime in between trilogies.
Now it looks like ABC (through Disney) is interested in making it happen network-style. It could possibly be to Star Wars what the SHIELD series will be to the Marvel universe, which would make sense considering who owns it all. That's where our knowledge ends however. While interesting, it would be odd to have new films taking place after Jedi, while having a live action show taking place between 3 and 4, and a cartoon taking place between 2 and 3 all at the same time. Maybe they will rewrite the series to tie in with the new films more, who knows.
I wanna give it all a shot considering how big a part of my life this series has been, but I sure don't feel good about all of this stuff that's going down.
