Wish I didn't, but there we are. After Droids and Ewoks, I'd just as soon not see the words "George" and "Lucas" and "cartoon" together. Has anyone on the face of the planet ever seen his Twice Upon A Time?

No, I'm sure he would mess it up. He should be happy with the millions he's already got instead of messing it up for greed.

The Star Wars Holiday Special... the horror the horror...
I honestly have no desire to see an expanded universe series, stopped being interested in those books for a long time, I moved on to other series some good (Disk World, Bridge of Birds series) and some not so good (Wheel of Time)
I could see it working but there would have to be so many factors that never usually happen in tv spin offs.

Originally posted by BrainSluggo: Has anyone on the face of the planet ever seen his Twice Upon A Time? I did a lookup on MSN.com and found a few sites. It seems like a lot of people liked it. Lucas was the Exec producer, which as I understand it mean he didn't do anything cept to front cash. But of course I still haven't seen it, so I reserve judgment.

Yeah. I can't remember the exact quote, but I remember reading that he wanted to track down every copy of the holiday special and smash them with a hammer. I'm not sure what involvment he had with Droids and Ewoks(he produced them, but didn't write any of the episodes), but it doesn't really matter, that was in the early 80's when every saturday morning cartoon was required to suck balls. I've never heard of Twice Upon A Time, but I do remember he produced the original Land Before Time movie. That was pretty crappy, I'll admit, but at least he had nothing to do with the even crappier direct to video sequels.

FishyJoe - I agree, most (if not all) of the early 80's toons blew monkey balls. I think land b4 time was Speilberg (my kids watch it like 50 x's a day) and I refuse to buy the sequels. B.F.- I think they could be done, and done right.But it would be a matter of finding someone who loves and respects Star Wars to do it. Hell, do the whole thing in CG for all I care just make it true to form.Have you ever checked out www.theforce.net and some of their fanfilms?
