Rick McCallum talks about the Live Action series in the current issue (99) of the Insider. He again confirms that Boba Fett will play a part.

The interview appears to have been done in November and his timeline of when movement could really progress hinges on the writing, which I suspect has been drastically delayed due to the WGA strike.

We've all heard the notion that they'd like to have the series last 100 episodes. McCallum says "We'd love to get to 100 episodes, since that's the golden number for all television series," so I read that as less artistic drive and more marketability (syndication). I'm not condemning this. I just suggest that instead of Lucas having at least 100 hours of material imagined, that number is over-quoted and just an ideal goal of a producer.

I was a little disturbed that McCallum mentioned that he'd like to have simultaneous live action series running. "The dream for us is to extend it even further than that, of course: two or three simultaneous series coming out after the first year! The first year we do one series, then the second year we do two series, then the third year we do three series." I really think that sort of market saturation might be a bad sign for quality. What do you think?
