He Just Keeps Babbling On.........

This is seriously wearing thin now. "Star Wars" producer, Rick McCallum is still babbling on about this yet to be seen planned "Star Wars" live-action TV show. He's said that even though the franchise's creator, George Lucas, has plans to retire soon and pass LucasFilm over to producer and close friend, Kathleen Kennedy, this TV show is going happen one day. For now he continues to talk about what we, the fans, are to expect to see in it.
According to McCallum now, the series is will be "Deadwood in space".............so basically "Firefly" with "Star Wars" characters. That's basically it in a nut shell. Here's all of the stuff he's saying about it, "Our biggest problem is that these stories are adult. I mean…these are like Deadwood in space. It so unlike anything you’ve ever associated with George before in relation to Star Wars. These aren’t for kids. I mean, we hope they’ll watch, but it’s not being targeted at 8-to-9 year old boys. The situation we have is that each episode – or if you put two hour long episodes together – is bigger than any film we’ve ever done. It’s on the Avatar level and we’ll only have about $5-6 million we can spend on each episode."
So what he's saying is "Star Wars: R-Rated" then?! If they really are going with the whole "Deadwood in space", then that means gritty themes with slightly brutal violence. Oh, and mega amounts of swearing. The swearing could be fun. Would love to just see Darth Vader say "Fuck Off!" to some we Jedi. 
Oh, and the title is now rumored to be changed from "Star Wars: Underworld" to "Star Wars: Detours". Please, please, please keep it to "Underworld" because "Detours" just sound stupid.
