SciFi changing to “SYFY: Imagine Greater.” We think there might be a few screws loose at the SciFi Channel.
Stargate Atlantis and Stargate SG1 are releasing more DVD movie. We will get a sneak peak at SGU (Stargate Universe) during SciFi (or should I say SyFy) Channel’s Stargate: Ark of Truth premiere on March 27th and Stargate: Continuum on April 3. Robert Carlyle, star of the upcoming SCI FI Channel original series Stargate Universe, told SCI FI Wire that the show will be more character-driven and feature fewer aliens than its Stargate predecessors.

Star Wars Live Action News: New Zealand actor Jay Laga’aia is talking to George Lucas about a role in a live-action Star Wars television series next year, the New Zealand-based newspaper The Dominion Post reported. Lucas had previously cast Laga’aia as Captain Gregar Typho, Amidala’s head of security, in Star Wars: Episode II—Attack of the Clones and Star Wars: Episode III—Revenge of the Sith. It’s unclear if he’s in talks to reprise the role or to play a different one.
The series will reportedly follow the Rebel Alliance as it slowly gains strength against the the evil Empire. The newspaper also reported that the show is a basic cable TV series and that it will feature stormtroopers, but not Jedi knights or Darth Vader. Lucas is currently casting for the series.
The fact that Laga’aia may be cast suggests that Lucas is considering shooting the show somewhere in Australia or New Zealand. Lucas shot parts of Episode II and III at Fox Studios in Sydney. (SciFi Wire)
