Actors Donal Logue and Eliza Dushku, along with writer/producer David Hemingson, recently signed on for new network projects.
Logue stars in FOX's Barry Sonnefeld-directed comedy pilot, Hackett, as a "bad-boy literary luminary" who goes from teaching at Yale to teaching at a public school in Ohio. The pilot also stars Rachel Boston (American Dreams) and Morgan Murphy. Logue was last seen on ABC's short-lived The Knights of Prosperity. Sonnefeld will work on Hackett, as well as direct episodes of Pushing Daisies, a new series for ABC premiering Wednesdays this fall.

George Lucas is done with
Star Wars films but is looking to give the series an even longer life, "with over"
100 television episodes,
according to Starpulse News Blog. No word on whether these will be animated, like
Clone Wars, or even if it will be one continuous series. He seems pretty definite on the number 100 though, which is the magic number for syndication. Why not look for a deal that guarantees syndication up front, if you've got the clout?
I'm sure Lucas can write his own ticket and generate more
Star Wars content in any format he wants. I did love
The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, anyway -- though maybe I'm the only one.
