Blue Sky Disney says word has begun to spread behind-the-scenes that the success of Agents of SHIELD has got Disney thinking about a Star Wars series again. They stress that this is all just talk right now and the kicking around of ideas, such as where the series should take place chronologically. Also since this would be on network TV and Disney wants everything to be as widely accessible as possible, the chances are it won't be too dark.
Speaking of which, director J.J. Abrams hit The Tavis Smiley Show and addressed fan concerns that Disney would only want a kid-friendly "Disneyfied" version of Star Wars, and basically he says there's no reason to worry....
Abrams:“The beauty there is Disney doesn't want that. They are well aware of this and they are very careful to make sure that...they are sensitive to that. They don't want that at all, that's the last thing they want. But that company, which is Marvel, they have...it's incredible the scale of that company. They are as aware of that as anyone.”
We'll see about that and if that Star Wars TV show finally gets off the ground.
