i dont think it'll be bad if its post ep3,but i guess GL said that he isnt gonna have anything to do with it,its gonna be mc cullams deal or whatever,and its gonna be about the old republic in which i dont think that'll be bad,but i dont like mc cullam,i think he helped lucas with $,and he's gonna try to capitalize with this series,it's just a opinion though........
This will probably be set post-Ep.3 from what I have heard in the last couple of months....
KOTOR era or some other dreaded EU related thing wouldn't attract the general public, to me. In between Ep. 3 and 4 makes the most sense.
And either TV movies or maybe two mini-series a year would work....
But really, I just don't see how this won't suck. The production values will be different, too. And how can they keep it interesting?
right, someone mentioned mara jade, and admiral thrawn....now I am hell's wrath.....
captmidnight, where did you hear george would have nothing to do with it? if it is mcallum, then i will have nothing to do with it....guy creeps me out....eu eu eu eu....(will watch it for a laugh though, but JP it won't ruin the saga in this case, because it is not part of the saga....eu eu eu....

BINGO!!! my thoughts exactly
thats another reason i want to see it EU related and removed from the saga. if its cool, then great. but if it sucks, it would just fade into obscurity leaving the saga untouched either way.
like that theatrically released ewok movie, remember that one? no?
my point exactly 😉
the 2 ewok movies are being released on one dvd disc for 15 dollars....my favourite bit is when wicket suddenly starts speaking in english in the second one....("what the hell, no one will notice, and we can't be bothered"😉.....nice one guys....
but if i'm going to enjoy this thing on any level, it should be mainly based around characters from the existing films, this is my problem with it being kotor.....if my goal was to completely avoid it, and hate it with all my soul then what you said applies to me PVS....but if was going to enjoy it then eu is no good for me....
i just use KOTOR and Tales of the Jedi as a reference, not like i want to see the exact story.
but i WOULD like to see the origins of the republic, the story of how the sith came to be nearly extinct, the revelation of the "chosen one", stuff that TIES IN to the saga, but not being a direct part of it
if lucas wrote it then i would take it seriously (well, star wars seriously anyway)....
i'm using "kotor" to mean pre ep I old republic too....i haven't even played the game, so i don't even know much about it other than the timeframe....
if it is bad then i would prefer it to be unrelated to the saga, so i could ignore it better....if it is good then i would prefer to see something familiar if possible....if lucas wrote it, it wouldn't be eu, so this is good....mcallum creeps me out....i think that's all i can say without more information.....
I've heard the audio clip and it didn't sound like the Lucasfilm guy was saying , yeah, there's gonna be a weekly show....
Someone in the crowd mentions the show and the guy kind of responds to it...
For all we know that rep. might have been thinking of the Clone Wars....
I just hope its not a weekly show because it will go bland quickly...
