Lucas Gives Star Wars Animated Series Hints
Discusses "PG-13" tone of new Clone Wars series.
by Eric Goldman
May 2, 2007 - George Lucas was a guest on Late Night with Conan O'Brien this week, as part of a special week of episodes shot in San Francisco. The nearly ten-minute interview contained many humorous moments, such as O'Brien introducing Lucas to some Star Wars inspired characters, including the religious "Jewbacca."
The conversation also briefly turned to the topic of the upcoming Star Wars animated series and while no new plot details were given, Lucas did have some comments about the content of the series, as far as what audience it will be aimed at. "It's an animated series about the Clone Wars," Lucas explained. "It's very much Star Wars. It's not a South Park comedy. It's not a kiddies SpongeBob SquarePants [show]. It's sort of the first dramatic animated show that is PG-13."

"So it doesn't really go on late night," Lucas added. "It doesn't go on Saturday afternoon. It actually doesn't go anywhere. I don't know what we're going to do with it, but we're having a great time making it!
O'Brien then jokingly replied, "Excellent marketing strategy. You'll love it, but you'll never see it!" But somehow Conan, we'd be willing to bet that the show will find a network and timeslot.
Lucas of course is also developing a live-action Star Wars series, but no mention of it was made during the Conan O'Brien appearance.
