US, March 17, 2010 - Star Wars: The Clone Wars
is running strong on Cartoon Network, while the long-talked about Star
Wars live-action series is still under development – but now it
seems a second Star Wars animated series is in the works as
well.
IESB reports that George Lucas is in
pre-production on the new series, which they say is believed to have
the working title of – wait for it -- Squishies.
Keep in mind IESB says this show will be aimed at pre-school to
kindergarten aged kids, based off of the Star Wars: Galactic Heroes
toy line, which is aimed at the same very young demo. This actually
sounds remarkably similar to The Super Hero Squad Show, the very
young-skewing animated series centering on Marvel Comics characters
and based on the successful Marvel Super Hero Squad toys.
As The Clone Wars has continued, it's included increasingly dark
material – everything from zombies to Jedi being tortured to death.
Considering that less than ideal content for very young viewers, Galactic
Heroes (or Squishies) is likely seen as an alternative for
the very youngest Star Wars fans – or potential Star Wars
fans.
