George Lucas says he's filming another 100 episodes of the Star Wars saga for television, a new twist on "Clone Wars" to air fall 2008. Somewhere on HBO or another prime network, perhaps. Alas, our 1977 crush on Princess Leia is fading fast. Anyone thinking media is not over-fragmenting ... please pass the Excedrin.
But wait. Stop thinking like a Year 2007 marketer. Sure, no one could stomach 100 new feature-length films with lightsabers, but in the new world of iDevices and YouTube, consumers with short attention spans may want to download 100 snippets of space. Serialized content could be king. Soon CGI may get so good you can pick your own ending, or better yet, insert your avatar and finally get that date with Leia.
It all makes sense. The Force, it seems, will ALWAYS be with you.
