Why can't Lucas make something else? What happen to all those great ideas for movies he never made? What all we get from that is Willow and Howard the Duck?

Like Red Tails?   Check out the trailer.  George Lucas was Executive Producer and writer on this upcoming release

This whole Boba Fett feature film idea may be an attempt to salvage the live action series concept which we've been hearing about since around 2007.  And no doubt, an overwhelming problem with doing a television series is that the ad revenues and ratings at the major networks are down.  The audience has been dilluted by the explosion of cable and satellite tv.  That downturn in ad revenue means that the budget for a tv show HAS to remain manageable. 

Effects budgets are coming down.  There are a lot more digital effects houses today, and computer processing power is far greater today than it was when The Phantom Menace was in production in the late 1990's.  And with those advances we've seen effects heavy feature films like Skyline get made for between $10 - $20 million.  But can a Star Wars television show generate the advertising revenue to produce a series?  Or is a Bounty Hunter based feature film the more economical way to go?  This whole thing could really boil down to what makes the most business sense.

I honestly think that one of the better options that all parties involved should explore is a short run, hour-long series on cable.  HBO proved that the audience is there with Game of Thrones.  A 10 - 13 episode run of Star Wars - Bounty Hunters on HBO  would probably be better than a Boba Fett feature, or a 20 episode run on TNT.

It's definitely amazing to see how many movie toy lines come and go but SW keeps on chugging along.  And it continues to be a top earner.  This 2007 article from Forbes addresses the overall earnings of the films along with all of the merchandising, and 4 years ago it was in the $22 billion range.  So as long as it remains profitable for both Lucas Licensing and Hasbro, I think we're going to see the line continue.

Sio Bibble as Maester Cressen? 

I've also been happy to see some casting announcements for roles like Asha Greyjoy (now to be known as Yara and avoid confusion about Osha), Craster, Davos Seaworth, Roose Bolton and more.

Pretty lackluster Q&A all the way around.  And I attribute that to some sites submitting such specific product ideas in their questions that there's almost no way that Hasbro would agree to or confirm these ideas.  Hasbro has established some fairly rudimentary parameters by which they operate, and if some of these sites would pay attention they would know which of these questions were such complete non-starters.

Yup.  Now I'm mixing up my EU video game titles?  It is definitely time for a vacation.

Saw this pack and the KOTOR pack today.  I made a choice and only bought the KOTOR set.  I just didn't feel like spending $80 at TRU today.
