Star Wars the TV series?

How strange - thats not at all what was stated.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

What McCallum stated has been the description of the series since it was originally announced. This statement from the BCC is the black sheep, not the other way around.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

That statement has utterly no place in fact and no evidence to even support such a wild assumption. Kindly explain or GTFO

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Well - keep in mind that anything Expanded Universe is *not* offical. Is it canonized? Yes - but only so far as that writers and comic book companies won't be sued by Lucasfilm and it's subsidaries. EU is tolerated only in the sense that it won't conflict with the movies, their novelizations or the radio dramas.

How ya doing, buddy?

I agree on that point - but so far only this BBC article has mentioned that idea. Various mentions by producer Rick McCallum have told us that the show will involve new characters somehow involved with, chased by or are in actuality bounty hunters.

Well, be careful what you wish for. There is a LOT of EU that is exceedingly horrible enough to make you bleed puss from your eyes.

I was speaking idiomatically.

God forbid he hire writers that can actually write!

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
