Haven’t heard much about the upcoming live action series lately, but The Daily Telegraph has this to say:

“SYDNEY remains filmmaker George Lucas’ favoured location to shoot his much-hyped Star Wars spin-off TV series.

The sci-fi TV series will likely be filmed at Sydney’s FOX Studios.

“We’re looking to shoot it in Australia,” Lucas told a press conference at his Big Rock ranch, the site for his new animation studio, north of San Francisco.

If given the green light, the live action Star Wars offshoot will be one of the most expensive TV productions made in Australia and create hundreds of acting and crew jobs for the local industry.

There was speculation the as yet untitled series would begin shooting next year, but it may be pushed back to 2010.

Lucas has employed two Australian scriptwriters to pen the series and continues to work on “getting all of the technology worked out” to make the show.”

The article, written by Peter Mitchell, goes on to say what the show will about about and when, based on what Mr. George Lucas said about the series at a press screening of “The Clone Wars.” You can read the entire article here.
