ForceCast #246: An Animated Discussion

The Clone Wars gets the axe, a new animated series gets announced, and George Lucas gets talkative with Bloomberg Businessweek. Plus, Erik and Eric discuss how best to present the "underworld" premise of the live-action series, a possible precursor to Battlefront III emerges, and a whole lot more.

Show Notes:

The HoloNet

Discussion

• As part of their new direction, Lucasfilm Animation is canceling The Clone Wars, postponing Detours, and preparing a new animated show set in an era previously untouched by on-screen Star Wars material. What do we think about these changes? Could the mysterious new TV show actually be an evolution of the "Undeworld" live-action series?
