Two seasons of Star Wars show done

George Lucas says he has 50 hours worth of scripts for the long-anticipated Star Wars live-action TV series already shot -- but is awaiting a technological breakthrough before the show can make it to TV.

Lucas told G4TV, the techie cable channel, that -- in TV terms -- he has scripts for two seasons of the new Star Wars series already written.

But the series is awaiting the development of "a different type of technology we can use so it's economically feasible to shoot the shows."

He did not say what the breakthrough would do, only that it was "just a very, very difficult process."

TV has to be produced for one-10th the cost of movies, he said, and the ability to make a credible TV show at such lower costs doesn't exist yet.

Lucas announced last year that the live-action TV series -- set between the Star Wars films Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope -- was being put on hold.

TV doesn't want Star Wars, it's all unscripted reality series these days. Let's put together a show where Lucas, Spielberg, James Cameron and Snookie live together while competing to drive tractor trailers from Milan to Minsk.
