Back in January, it looked like the live-action ‘Star Wars’ series was at the point of no return, but ABC’s president Channing Dungey provided an update during her presentation at the Television Critics Association press tour.
‘Oh, as a fan, I would absolutely love to say ‘yes.’ The conversations with Lucas, we have had conversations with them and will continue to have conversations with them. I think it would be wonderful if we could find a way to extend that brand into our programming,’ said Dungey.
According to Dungey, there is a lot red tape to get through at Lucasfilm before an official timeline could be determined on a series.
‘It’s all a little bit hush, hush…That company [Lucasfilm] exists under a huge banner of secrecy. If you thought Marvel was secretive, Lucas takes it to a whole other level. We don’t have an official timeline yet,’ said Dungey to The Wrap.
Now with some actual talk about this Live Action series becoming the real deal, we can go back to hoping that they don’t ruin the Star Wars name if it is made!
