The San Francisco Chronicle ran an article about the Star Wars tribute in Monday’s Tournament of Roses Parade, and also discussed what George Lucas will be up to next – referring to the previously announced animated and live-action TV shows. The animated show is aimed for 2008, and the live-action for 2009. No detail on plots yet though, other than unlike previous reports the Skywalkers will not be involved.

Apparently a Russian booster rocket re-entered the atmosphere over Colorado and created a cool light show, which was caught on video by a local news station’s traffic helicopter. At the time, they thought it was a meteor – but if you listen to the commentary, don’t mistake a meteorologist for someone who would know anything about this…

David Eick, one half of the team that re-imagined Battlestar Galactica to great success, has been looking through the Universal catalog for the next great re-do – and set his sights on The Bionic Woman. NBC has given a green light for a pilot (contingent on cast, apparently). The original was a spin-off of The Six Million Dollar Man, and starred Lindsay Wagner.

The long-awaited fourth installment in the Indiana Jones franchise, in the works for years, is finally going to be filmed. No plot details have been given, but George Lucas said “It’s going to be fantastic. It’s going to be the best one yet.” Harrison Ford will definitely reprise the title role. Of course, it has to compete with The DaVinci Code-style treasure hunting and knock-off reality shows.
