In addition to the Star Wars TV show, George Lucas and Rick McCallum have been working on the new movie (coming out next week) Red Tails. You can see a preview of the first seven minutes (and an interview with George Lucas as well)

Directed by TV helmer Anthony Hemingway with some re-shoots by Lucas himself when Hemingway was busy with Treme (production started in 2009 and had a few breaks), the film is based on the true stories of the Tuskegee Airmen, the first all African-American aerial combat unit and their heroic adventures during World War II.

It has some interesting science fiction links. Not only with George Lucas, but the writers are John Ridley (author of the super hero novel Those Who Walk In Darkness and its sequel) and Aaron McGruder (creator of the Boondocks comic strip and TV show).

While it’s not science fiction, it does look interesting.
