Star Wars TV Show

Well - this is interesting news. There is probably going to be a Star Wars TV show and this article says that it is guaranteed at least 100 episodes. I have never heard of this kind of commitment before. To put it in perspective - it usually takes a show four or five seasons to produce 100 episodes. Does this mean that the distribution company will have to pony up for five seasons at the beginning? Wow. I don't know if this is going to happen. Although, Star Wars tends to be a money making gold mine. . .there is a difference between going to a movie on a Friday night and sitting down for a TV show every week. The show is going to have to prove that it's worth it for an audience to stick around -- even for Star Wars. What if the audience decides it's more The Phantom Menace than Empire Strikes Back? Food for thought.
