At the “Future of Star Wars” panel at Dragon*Con, Steve Sansweet officially acknowledged the Live Action TV series and gave a rough timetable and hinted at a bit of casting news.

  • Pre-production on the show will be starting soon and go through until the new year. The writers have been working for a while and, according to Sansweet, no one knows anything about the story for sure except George Lucas, Rick McCallum and the writers.
  • He also gave 2012 as a reasonably firm date for seeing the project on the air. It is a one hour format drama show and will air weekly.

As far as casting is concerned, no major casting deals have been made with anyone but there was a rumor about Daniel Logan who portrayed Boba Fett in Attack of the Clones and that he may reprise his role.

Regarding that rumor Sansweet said:

A couple of years ago Rick McCallum (producer) said that he would consider it, and I would expect news from Daniel’s camp in the not-too-distant future.

So, it sounds like they are at least considering him.
