I shit you not, my friends.
Here's the source. I'll quote the article:
How's this for your daily dose of WTF: Star Wars is being developed into an animated sitcom.
Lucasfilm has announced the series, with Robot Chicken cocreators Seth Green and Matt Senreich signed on as consultants (no doubt due to their own successful Star Wars spoof on that show). Senreich has said the program will be "character driven" and may include crossover appearances from the film's characters. So a Storm Trooper walks into Chalmun's Cantina bar, and . . . ?
Forgive me if I sound skeptical, but this seems like an odd offshoot for the fanboy favorite. There's definitely a market for it — not only from die-hard Star Wars followers, but also from shows like Robot Chicken or Futurama — yet part of me wonders if the franchise is better left alone. What's your take?
Apparently George Lucas still isn't done raping the Star Wars franchise. The only thing that gives me a glimpse of hope is the fact that it is being created along with
Robot Chicken cocreators Seth Green and Matt Senreich, and those guys made a pretty good parody of Star Wars. Still, that little glimpse of hope vanishes as an image of an animated Han Solo not voiced by Harrison Ford saying a joke followed by fake laughter rushes through my mind.
Someone just shoot George Lucas. This is going too far.
This might be fake though, I was linked to this through Rotten Tomatoes, but I've found some other links by doing a quick Google search. So I say this is pretty real, it's not like Lucas can surprise anyone now.
