Live-Action 'Star Wars' Series Expected to Be Ready by 2011

The new, and still untitled Star Wars live-action TV series is still trudging on, and will hopefully be ready for viewers in 2011.

The show, according to Wookieepedia.com, will take place in between the last prequel and the first original, A New Hope, during the dark times Obi Wan mentioned to Luke in Episode IV. The show will be set in a gritty, dark and malevolent frame for whichever characters will be thrown in. The Empire will be in full swing, and we will probably see more anti-heroes than actual heroes in the show, as it will be told from the perspectives of relatively minor characters in the Star Wars universe. While they say relatively minor characters, Boba Fett, C-3PO, and Emperor Palpatine are all rumored to be in the show, with their original actors from the films (Fett being played by Daniel Logan from Attack of the Clones, not Jason Wingreen from Empire Strikes Back) in the show.

'Star Wars Holiday Special' in Five Minutes

This video sums up the two-hour spin-off into five minutes. Star Wars Holiday Special features appearances from Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) and Hans Solo (Harrison Ford).

The bizzare story takes place two years after the Battle of Yavin. As to the quality... let's just say it wasn't directed by George Lucas.

Darth Vader Concept Helmet

eFX is about to release a new replica costing $899. Ralph McQuarrie approved eFX to recreate one of his pre-production designs of the Vader breathing mask from Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope.

Jay Kushwara was responsible for sculpting the 2D artwork into a 3D model using a computer. He started working on the project in February 2008. Every detail was looked over to ensure it matched the original piece. The model was featured in San Diego International Comic Con in July 2008 and will be available to the public next month but is limited to only 250 pieces world-wide.

This collectible will be available for pre-sale on Feb. 8, 2010 at 9 a.m. PDT. There will be a $250 non-refundable deposit included to complete the order. The rest of the payment will be deducted once the helmets are in stock which is anticipated to be in late May.

One Year Later. . .

Star Wars Wild Space has been online now for officially one whole year!!!



More pics after the jump.

It's weird to say that since it barely feels that long, but it really has been one year. Now to commemorate this occasion, I have redone some of our older pictures. It's mainly to show that we have come a long way since the first versions of the site. Back when, the Five of Ilo was planned as a single chapter story and when I had no idea how to use photoshop. Back when Matt had to upload every single post. So here's to the future of Wild Space.

Also, thanks to everyone that visits this site, especially all 60 of our Facebook fans!! Woohoo!! You keep us going. So please keep checking back. We have a lot of new content for you all for light years to come.

Snoop Dogg joins the Dark Side

Storm troopers escort Snoop Dogg and Darth Vader in SoHo, New York City to promote the new release of Adidas x Star Wars collaboration.

A bystander was able to capture the march on video:



Edit: It is confirmed that the Darth Vader and the storm troopers in the video are in fact from the 501st Legion, according to the StarWars.com blog.
