Now, we may a bit late to the party with this one but it seems that the Star Wars franchise is showing little signs of slowing down with the recent news that an animated TV movie based on the popular Lego Star Wars video game series is heading to the small screen later this year. ComingSoon broke the news earlier this month when they spotted a promotional poster at the Licensing International Expo and the word is the TV movie will likely premiere in September, just in time to coincide with the release of Star Wars: The Complete Saga on Blu-ray. With the 35th anniversary of George Lucas' baby just around the corner, it seems that LucasFilm is doing everything in its considerable power to keep the billion-dollar franchise rolling over and this latest announcement will likely generate more heated debate over the continued 'milking' of the blockbuster saga.
Along with the TV movie and Blu-ray box-set, Lucas also has a 3D conversion of Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace set for release in February 2012 (with potential conversions of the remaining episodes to follow), along with the ongoing Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series, a second Clone Wars animated show developed by Robot Chicken's Seth Green and Matthew Senreich, and fifty hours of live-action TV scripts.
Phewww. That's a lot of Star Wars. Even for a fan like me.
