Rumour: Live Action Star Wars Heading to Netflix
The sources were not able to provide any details on any of the possible series, or where in Star Wars’ timeline that they would occur. The document did “guess”, while, the fact that the exhibits may unveiling in 2017, which could deal with the launch of Star Wars: Episode Eight on May 26, 2017.
As with the original suggestion, said TV series could potentially shoot at the same United Kingdom Pinewood studios of the films, lowering costs by reusing certain sets, and keeping the majority of production in-house between cinematic chapters. But now that they’ve figured things out, they are exploring their television options, and may want a deal similar to the one Marvel has with their Netflix shows.
Meanwhile, “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” comes out in theatres on December 18. That doesn’t stop the Internet from claiming it already knows, though, and a new report claims Disney’s Star Wars TV plans are already brewing. Way back when Revenge Of The Sith was making its bow in cinemas George Lucas was talking about wanting to make an epic, multi-season show that expanded the dark times between trilogies, which kept getting mentioned until a few years since Disney took over. Three series are possibly in the works.
After the success of Marvel shows on Netflix, a “Star Wars” live action series is reportedly on its way to the streaming service. Or would you rather see these shows broadcast through traditional network/cable/satellite channels? Are there any stories or characters you think would be served best by a weekly TV series, instead of movies? Moreover, Disney releasing “Star Wars” on the streaming service gives much advantage not just to the company but to viewers as well.
