Star Wars – MacGyver-Style

Man, I want to watch that show… which is surprising considering how over StarWars I've been ever since Return of the Jedi. The bloom was off the rose for me long before The Phantom Menace proved that everything fun about the first movie was a fluke.

Very well crafted video! Not only does it make me want to watch both MacGyver and the fictional Star Wars show, it makes me wonder just how different Star Wars would have been if instead of a movie trilogy, George Lucas had created the original Star Wars saga as a TV series?

How would the episodic structure of a weekly TV show affected the writing? How would the various movie events have been scripted if they had been stretched over seasons-worth of TV airings? How many in between, mini-events would have been inserted? Just how much more would we have learned about Chewy, Han, Luke & Leia over the course of three or more TV seasons? A delightful what-if to ponder! 🙂
