Back when we first heard about Lucasfilm's Star Wars comedy, we could do little more than laugh. But now Seth Green, walking the red carpet at the 2010 MTV Movie Awards, finally let drop a few details about the project.

Think about it—except for maybe a DVD bonus feature, when have you ever heard Harrison Ford publicly speak about Star Wars? It took 30-some years, but the right cause finally came along to break Ford's silence.

Seems his Death Star general can't get a word in edgewise

When last we checked, George Lucas was saying his proposed live-action Star Wars TV show would not include any characters from the original trilogy of films.  But what about the comedic animated TV series he's also contemplating?

Some viewers laughed their way through parts of Star Wars: Episode III—Revenge of the Sith. (Maybe you were even one of them.) That wasn't what George Lucas intended. Now, however, now Lucas wants you to laugh, at least according to today's Variety.

An upcoming series of Star Wars: The Clone Wars episodes promises to fill in the backstory of the young Boba Fett, the bounty hunter introduced in The Empire Strikes Back, the show's creators told us at WonderCon. (Spoilers ahead!)

Thought you'd heard all about George Lucas? Greedo shooting first, Jar Jar Binks and Darth Vader's cry of "Nooooo!" at the end of Revenge of the Sith are common complaints about Lucas' dumbing down of the Star Wars saga. Now a new documentary film gives voice to all those opinions but introduces some really valid points we didn't even think of before.

Forget that Star Wars kid show George Lucas is reportedly developing: Real fans want to know when that long-rumored live-action Star Wars TV series will arrive in our galaxy.  The answer may be: sooner than you think.

If you happen to be a member of the Sesame Street set AND a fan of Star Wars, then today's your lucky day—because George Lucas is creating a new Star Wars saga just for you.  The latest from Skywalker Ranch, according to iesb, is that a director has been brought on board to direct a new animated series based on the popular Star Wars: Galactic Heroes line of toys.

It just wouldn't be the annual American International Toy Fair without a plethora of new Star Wars-related toys for kids—and, more importantly, the Star Wars-obsessed kids at heart—to drool over. Believe it or not, 2010 marks the 30th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back, so licensors are releasing a bunch of nostalgic collectibles to celebrate one of the best sequels ever made.
