Star Wars Live-Action Series In Pre-Production?
Rumors are swirling all over the internet that Lucasfilm has entered pre-production on the highly anticipated live-action Star Wars television series that is scheduled for a 2010 release. The Australian blog SciFi Pi apparently broke news of the prep work being done Down Under, with details including the participation of some high-end Australian writers working on the series.
Not to be outdone, io9 picked up on the story and mentioned that it could prominently feature the Fetts and be a Jedi-free series. All initial signs and rumors point to the series being aimed at a bit more of an adult audience. Might Lucasfilm be looking to cater to the generation of now thirty and forty-somethings who first fell in love with the series back in the 1970's? While no official word has been released yet, having seen the massive popularity and critical acclaim of a very adult 'Battlestar Galactica' series, it seems like this is a strong possiblity. Stay tuned. This early information is certainly just the beginning of what is sure to be a well documented production. Posted on Jul 2, 2009 by Pete
ACME Athenaeum Announced
![]() ACME Archives, who among their many fine art licenses holds the Star Wars one from Lucasfilm Ltd., has announced the creation of a new private collectors club called ACME Athenaeum. The club has three tiers of membership:
"An Acme Athenaeum Comic Con Badge which entitles the member to a 10% discount for the duration of the San Diego Comic Con Event (excluding Character Keys & Sketchplates)"For the over one-hundred thousand collectors who plan on attending the event, that's certainly a perk that could immediately make the membership a valuable investment. The main extra benefit between the Prestige and Marquee tiers is the inclusion of an unspecified "free fine art print". Posted on Jul 2, 2009 by Pete
