Much like the Clone Wars, it's been coming "in a year or two" for ages. Also like the Clone Wars, I fully expect the actual show to never materialize, and some pile of crap with the same name to be aired in its stead.
I'd feel pretty confident in saying "never going to happen" at this point, certainly not the way it was supposed to go down- wasn't it initially promised for 2008 or something, then the plan to make the films in 3-D pushed that back indefinitely a couple of years ago or something like that?
With the toy line having such a questionable future at this point, and with Clone Wars suppoosedly doing decently, I can't imagine putting all the money that would be needed into a live-action series. I would think that the best one could possibly hope for would be a mini-series of maybe 6 episodes, but even that feels like a real longshot.

Tho if someone options that Cruisemissile Troopers fan-fic I would imagine it could be made at a considerable savings :D
The latest rumors I've heard:
Preproduction is well under way, apparently.
Lucasfilm has hired a bunch of writers that are plodding along, writing an entire season before they shoot anything (all under Lucas' supervision).
All scripts could be completed this year and filming could get under way in Australia early next year for a possible fall 2011 premiere.
I wouldn't hold my breath about seeing it before 2012.
Interesting, before reading this post I was inclined to agree with what Mabs said.Quote:

It sounds like it is on track, but Lucas has gone off the rails. :p
Isn't his involvement (going to be) limited? I thought I remember reading that he'd help it get off the ground and then back away and let others handle it.Quote:

Then the show is dead. :p I'll give it average, but no better. Except for Grievous, who was gorgeous, even if pointless.
