A "Fourth"-right Letter
May. 4th, 2013 05:52 pmToday, of course, is the day a great many Star Wars fans say "May the Fourth be with you" in a winking sort of way, or at least they assume it's being said. I do have to admit it can still seem a little too clever for me, but did find myself wondering if I could put a post on a Star Wars-related topic together. Then, when I looked in my mailbox just yesterday, I saw an envelope with the Lucasfilm logo on it. The letter I had mailed a while ago on hearing Clone Wars had been brought to an end had produced at least a tiny result.
It was a little discouraging to get the same careful non-explanation for the show's all-but-abrupt ending, and I decided to write another letter today at least mentioning the rumoured "unreleased episodes" again. However, it was at least interesting to hear that Dave Filoni and "many members" of the Clone Wars team were working on a new project instead of being let go. I did, though, start wondering about the setting "a time period previously untouched in Star Wars films or television programming." The simplest explanation would seem to be that, just as the first Marvel comics were set immediately after Star Wars itself, we'd be getting "further adventures" in the new galaxy upcoming. Without a definite comment that way, though, I am wondering just a little about all the conflicts worked into the thousands of years previous to any of the movies, even if that does risk beginning to play into the hands of those who can't contemplate "a story with a conclusion" when there's so much alluded to lead into it.
