Sci-Fi TV reports that various writers have been asked to try out for the upcoming Star Wars live-action series that is set to go into production by the end of the year.
Quite surprisingly, scribes from Love My Way and The Secret Life of Us have been approached by series producer Rick McCallum to write episodes for the show that will take place in the era between the prequels and the original trilogy.
It should be noted that both shows deal with relationship issues with people in their 20s and 30s. And they are also generally female-targeted. The choices seem interesting, but they show the path the series is going to take.
The live-action series will deal with lesser known characters, with no major characters appearing, unless it’s a cameo.

I don’t think it shows “the path the series is going to take”. I’m sure those writers are not as one-dimensional as you are thinking they are. While it has been said that the show will be more adult oriented, I don’t think there’s any reason to speculate that Star Wars will suddenly be turned into a soap opera simply because the writers have written for that type of show in the past.

It’s about time Star Wars had SOME female appeal. I was beginning to think that 99% of this population is male.
