100 episode Clone Wars

Clone Wars (what I saw of it) was pretty cool, but I think it was more because it was a Genndy Tartakovsky action show than because it was a Star Wars one. He could make a Sleepless In Seattle cartoon and I'd watch it.
 

I think the website mostly speaks for itself. Anyone with half of a brain should be able to see that it is nothing but a bunch of made up forgery. The most obvious garbage is the "plot scripts" for "episode 7, 8 and 9" supposedly written by George Lucas. Nothing but trash that someone wrote and tagged Lucas' name to.

Do you know how much of a "plot script" Lucas had for Revenge of the Sith when they began pre-production? Next to none. He had broad strokes, the stuff that we all knew had to happen, but that was pretty much it. A lot of things came as they went along. Lucas is different from most other writers/directors in this respect. A typical director starts with a finished script. For Episode III at least, Lucas wrote the script while pre-production was taking place on the film. He let the artists and model makers designs and ideas inspire him, which led ultimately to certain things like General Grievous. The point is that George worked on the finalized story as the actual making of the film pushed forward, with much brainstorming involved on his part.

(For the record, I'm drawing what I wrote mostly from this book as well as interviews with Lucas that I've read.)

Now, let me ask you this. Why would George Lucas not have a definite idea of what was going to be in Revenge of the Sith when he was already making the film, and yet somehow have three fully realized plot synopsis for "episodes 7, 8 and 9," three films that he has officially said time and time again that he has no plans to make?

Yeah. Those "plot scripts" are bullshit.

How about this, straight from the website:
George Lucas has hired SuperShadow as a high-paid consultant regarding future projects of Star Wars and Indiana Jones. SS will be involved in writing the scripts and help creating the films all the way through the film making process. The employment contract is ten years in duration with an option by Lucasfilm to extend the employment contract another ten years if so needed.

Monthly Salary: $ 43,577 per month; Annual Total: $ 522,924

Automobile Provided by Lucasfilm: 2006 Lincoln Navigator (Valued at $ 54,380)

Vacation Time: 8 weeks paid vacation

Housing Arrangement: Lucasfilm rents a home for SuperShadow at $ 1,200 per month. All utilities, power and water bills to be paid by Lucasfilm.

Health Insurance: Full Coverage With All Expenses Paid By Lucasfilm

Food Vouchers: Unlimited access to all Lucasfilm restaurants at no charge. All meals are paid for by Lucasfilm.

Secretarial Support: Lucasfilm is to provide one secretary and one personal assistant for SuperShadow.

Yacht and Corporate Jet Access: Free use of the Yacht and Jet owned by Lucasfilm when the Yacht and Jet are not being used for official business.

Gym Privileges: Lucasfilm will pay all gym dues for the workout facility of SuperShadow's choosing.

Seem a little far-fetched? Yeah. That's one guy that's living la-la land.

The icing on the cake is the picture of "SuperShadow's 'Hot Girlfriend'"

The entire site is a sad joke if you ask me. Some poor guy trying really hard to make people think highly of him. Everything on there is pure fabrication, like the laugh a minute "exclusive interviews with George Lucas" where "George" talks about how he's going to have himself cryogenically frozen and brought make to life thousands of years in the future and that Episodes 10-12 will be released in the year 2043.

Star Wars is one big rumor mill that never seems to end. I've been a fan of Star Wars long enough to know that the only online source you should ever trust is www.starwars.com.
 
this sounds cool. i still havent seen the Clone Wars cartoons yet but this will probably make me watch it. i guess we'll never get a proper story before the events of Episode IV.
