from TF.Net:
AP: After "Episode III," will you ever revisit "Star Wars"?
Lucas: Ultimately, I'm going to probably move it into television and let other people take it. I'm sort of preserving the feature film part for what has happened and never go there again, but I can go off into various offshoots and things. You know, I've got offshoot novels, I've got offshoot comics. So it's very easy to say, "Well, OK, that's that genre, and I'll find a really talented person to take it and create it." Just like the comic books and the novels are somebody else's way of doing it. I don't mind that. Some of it might turn out to be pretty good. If I get the right people involved, it could be interesting.
i am actually kinda stoked about this now.
as long as it doesnt involve the saga, it wont put a dent in the films.
if it sucks, it will just fade into obscurity like the ewok films, that wookie family christmas special, the old cartoons....all that corny stuff few even acknowledge...so its all good then imho
i agree with those who don't want the tv series to touch the storyline. i think the movies and ALL THE CHARACTERS in the movies are there to tell a specific story.... LUCAS' story. GL has said the TV series will belong to someone else, and i would hate to see rubbish like those NJO novels. Even some of those early post_RTJ books. I mean, fighting the remnants of the empire or a ressurected empror is just STUPID!!!!!
by the same token, a post EPIII, pre EPIV story would just have too many limitations. It would be inherintly depressing. it just wouldnt be a good show
i think an OLD REPUBLIC tv series would just be the pimpest thing imaginable! the creators would have so much freedom, they could really do something creative. THey could delvelop their OWN storyline, instead of just having a punch of crappy tie-ins to the "chosen one" storyline in the movies.
i would be very suprised if the series was anything OTHER than an old republic series

I think Old Republic would be cool, as long as they didn't just rip off the OT. That's the only fault I had with KOTOR, it just smelled too much like OT. With all the Hutts and the life-debt wookie, and the yoda-like jedi master. Too many similarities to the OT. If they can do an ORIGINAL Old Republic themed show, that would be awesome.

Bigsef3,
I think that GL okaying the use of characters and ideas in the post ROTJ novels was a set up for possible avenues to be ventured by GL in the future someday...
Now, someday is here....
