Star Wars Babies
 

George Lucas is now wanting to make a Star Wars series for the pre-school set currently titled Squishies based on the Star Wars Galactic Heroes figs..... :ohwell:

Will it ever end?

bwahaha! really George...really? omg!

If it's as good as Super Hero Squad, I'll take it!

yes, the guy finds another way to make one of the coolest franchises least desirable.

When has Star Wars NOT been for kids? I always thought it was aimed at a younger audience to begin with.

really? that's not the impression i ever got from it

Well, that just ruined it!!!

Textually: " We believe it's called "Lucas Wants More Money." :lol::lol::lol::lol:
:D:lol::lol::lol::lol:

Got all the reason!!!

He has literally been trying to kill me since 1997.

What Star Wars are you looking at? It's always been a simplified space opera series that translated easily to toys.

i dunno, guess i was looking at the dark aspects of it. but now that i think more about it, i guess i can see your point as far as the toys go, clearly toys ain't meant just for kids!

Back in the 70s though? Before the collector culture really showed up?

It's not like it's going to be canon with the movies, just ignore it.

I think this kind of thing annoys people because resources are being wasted creating stupid crap no one cares about, so it's hard to ignore on that level.

I agree. So many other things I would like to see. I want a movie based on the EU. There are tons of awesome characters out there.

I'm a huge fan of "general audience" properties. That said, there is a big difference in "G/PG rated" and "Kiddie Fare." The kiddie-tone talks down to its audience as if the producers don't believe that kids appreciate mature storylines and character development. General audience properties give something that all ages can enjoy, making the water depth shallow enough for a child to wade yet deep enough for an elephant to swim.

It doesn't take much to please me, and I love the Lego-ized version of the franchise, but I'm a little skeptical about this direction.

(Also, I'm not a fan of Super Hero Squad Show from what little I've seen of it, so perhaps that clouds my judgment).

You forgot:
Tom and Jerry Kids
Clifford's Puppy Days
Little Alvin and the Mini-Munks
Gadget Boy and Heather
Baby Felix
The Oz Kids (which features the offspring of the original Wizard of Oz characters)
Jungle Cubs (Bagheera, Baloo, ect as children)
Young Robin Hood
Krypto the Super Dog

Little Archies was actually called The New Archies. That shouldn't count since it was based off the Little Archie comics.

Yes. They could be wasted making a million dollar movie that no one would care about.

Star Wars needs to reinvent itself one of these days. Not saying this is it at all but the franchise is beyond stale.
