Star Wars: New Animated Series in the Works

Star Wars: New Animated Series in the Works
Are you ready for Star Wars to get... Squishy?

March 17, 2010 - Star Wars: The Clone Wars is running strong on Cartoon Network, while the long-talked about Star Wars live-action series is still under development – but now it seems a second Star Wars animated series is in the works as well.

IESB reports that George Lucas is in pre-production on the new series, which they say is believed to have the working title of – wait for it -- Squishies.

Keep in mind IESB says this show will be aimed at pre-school to kindergarten aged kids, based off of the Star Wars: Galactic Heroes toy line, which is aimed at the same very young demo. This actually sounds remarkably similar to The Super Hero Squad Show, the very young-skewing animated series centering on Marvel Comics characters and based on the successful Marvel Super Hero Squad toys.


Will adorable booze serving R2D2 and Lil' Slave Leia be a part of the new Star Wars animated series?
As The Clone Wars has continued, it's included increasingly dark material – everything from zombies to Jedi being tortured to death. Considering that less than ideal content for very young viewers, Galactic Heroes (or Squishies) is likely seen as an alternative for the very youngest Star Wars fans – or potential Star Wars fans.

IESB says it's not clear yet what network might air the new Star Wars animated series.

Wow! Can't wait!

"Don't do this Anakin !"

<==== These are NOT tears of joy.

I am curious to see this new series (even though I'm no longer little, lol). I still have my SW legos! This brings back such fond memories....

I don't really know what to say. I haven't yet dared watch the Clone Wars Series.

So do I. I'd even pay a bounty hunter to sort things with my mom if she dared to throw those in the bin

What next? Star Wars series for babies airing on Bebe tv, with yoda and luke flying around and making weird noises ? Why won't they do something for us, more mature part of the world population? Happiness would be leaking down from my ears If they announced some very dark series from Old republic era My opinions is, that in 30 years will be many´SW related cartoons for children, but still one and only series for a little older viewers

For those who don't know about Bebe Tv here is a little example. Watch at your own discretion. For anyone above 2 - 2,5 years it causes severe brain damage and dementia.
