If you know who Grand Moff Tarkin is, you’ll be happy to know that LucasFilm is working on creating two new Star Wars television series. The first is a CG animated series set during the Clone Wars featuring characters from the franchise. Supposedly Boba Fett might be part of the series. Isn’t he a just a little young? Maybe they meant Jango Fett.

Anyway, the second TV series in production is a live action show with a budget of $1.8 million per episode. It’ll be set between Episodes III and IV. And get this: it’ll be shot in HD! Woo hoo!

Personally, I’m looking forward to these shows. LucasFilm did a great job with Young Indiana Jones. I’m sure they can pull that off again with Star Wars.

Now I just need to figure out how to become an extra…
