Big news

Always assumed this would happen as Disney leverages its property for their streaming service.  Lucas himself was developing a live action series years ago but I think the issue was the expense of doing so and needing that to come down a bit.  Streaming creates a great opportunity to do an expensive, premium content series.

Now...will it fit in the "Saga" or be totally original?  I suspect original but I always liked the idea of a series between Sith and Hope with Vader hunting the remaining Jedi.  I could see them doing a Boba Fett series actually...

Being valued at 200b helps.

Of course money helps, but it's more the fact that they refuse to evolve with the times.  Cable TV is in the past.  You need to work with a different format now.

didn't abc revive it a couple of years ago? I mean the first episode was pretty entertaining with Busey and Graham jr switching but then they got to Dee Snider and Flav, and that was so repulsive

I mean if they end up making a series out of a prequel....which reminds me, wasn't the Sopranos meant to just be a movie?

So my PVR screwed up and didnt record the OJ confession.  But there is a video clip of the confession here:

http://www.tmz.com/2018/03/11/oj-simpson-confesses-murder-nicole-brown-simpson-ron-goldman-fox/

Its...well, its pretty wild.  Its clearly an admission (to me anyway).  He laughs nervously about this being hypothetical and at times almost seems to smirk about it.  He also forgets to keep up the hypothetical act and simply starts giving details in the first person.

And yet, he was still also clearly lying.  I dont believe "Charlie" exists.  That was Simpson's deluded way of making it Nicole's fault...that "something" was going on over at Nicole's (according to Charlie and the interviewer never asks what) and "it had to stop".  He also uses "Charlie" later as the one who brought the knife in, though Simpson admits he always kept a knife in his car ("because you cant travel with a gun") and admits to putting on the cap and gloves.  He says Ron Goldman explained he was there to drop off glasses (Simpson dismisses Ron as "I might have seen him around but didnt really know him").  Nicole comes out and they get into a verbal altercation where she tells him to F off (Simpson seems to imply this was an example of what had to be stopped, like how dare she speak to him that way). 

Then it gets weird.  He says Nicole suddenly fell and hurt herself (almost surely Simpson actually hit her) and then Ron got in a karate stance.  Simpson is very specific about what he says and claims he grabbed the knife from "Charlie" and went towards Ron and then "can't remember" anything until coming to and being surrounded by blood.

I found it very chilling.

I think I would rather have Steve back over a wrestler being silly (but then again it worked for the Rock, hey I loved the hell out of Moana)

Couple eps old but you can see where this is all headed. Frankly I think this season pretty much sucked which does not help.

sigh.....sometimes I wish I wasn't born in the late 80s I would have been somewhat satisfied if I was born like in 87...but then again I don't think this show aired in Canada since Nick didn't come til 2009
