Three stunningly boring news items about Star Wars

Princess Leia--stunned by the boringness of today's newsThere are three supposedly big stories making the rounds today about Star Wars, and they're all completely boring.

Star Wars TV show title might have been revealed

Several outlets are reporting and repeating an interview with Rick McCallum in which he reveals the working title of a proposed Star Wars live-action television series, Star Wars: Underworld. McCallum also whines about how expensive it would be to make this program--George Lucas being notoriously short on cash--and fantasizes about what the show, which currently exists only in the form of a few scripts--never the strongest part of a Lucasfilm project--might be like.

Rick McCallum is the man who produced the prequels and the Special Edition version of the original trilogy. Need I say more? Nothing he touches is likely to be of any interest to me.

William Shatner refuses a Star Wars/Star Trek truce

I've been studiously avoiding this item for months because it is so stupid. Two of the world's less dignified senior citizens, Carrie Fisher and William Shatner, have been attracting media attention to themselves by engaging in a supposed argument about the relative merits of the two franchises. No doubt envious of these last embers of spotlight falling on a man he notoriously hates, George Takei weighed in with a video post calling for a truce. This was supposed to be funny but it wasn't.

Now the Shat is back with a barely comprehensible reply to Takei in which he refuses to accept a truce. Inexplicably, he is standing in a desert wearing a grey jacket and black tie. Clearly referring to the Takei/Shat dispute rather than the Star Wrek phoney war, the spiteful old nutter says, "George, you're the greatest threat to equanimity and peacefulness. You've carried on a feud for all these years. You can't just dissolve it in a matter of words."

Star Wars Porn Trailer

I have read that George Lucas once accompanied Francis Ford Coppolla to an adult film industry awards show. If so, he was probably wearing a plaid shirt. Anyway, the safe-for-work trailer of a so-called pornographic parody of Star Wars is making the rounds. It could not be more dull. It may be safe for work but it's still three minutes of your life you'll never get back.
