I know this is an old post, and I'm not going to go on a Klanderman rampage, so don't go yelling at me about it being old. I have to say, with Vort's standards for it to be good, it has to have James Earl Jones in it too

Hey, seeing as though the thread's been resurrected, I might as well chip in here...

Stargate SG-1 has been an extremely successful series (currently finished filming its ninth season, I believe) - following on from the film Stargate, it even has a spin-off of its own in the not-so-good Stargate Atlantis.

I believe Jagged Fel may have a few words about Stargate, judging by his avatar...

Yes, and more than a few, but that's for another thread

I'd like to see how this SW series turns out. Last I heard it was going to be about Imperial bounty hunters, or something. Could be good, could be one of the failures GL was saying he can afford to make now.

What about the new HBO series the "Chronicles of Vader"? That will be out soon.

Haven't heard about the Vader show on HBO but Lucas said that no main story line characters from the movies and their plots will be in the normal show.
