Sorry if this is old news
From iesb.net -
Lucas referred to Clone Wars as a pilot. He confirmed that the animated series will continue as a 3D animated half hour version and will be a regular TV series.
Also, he is working on a live action series that spins off from the films that doesn't incude the main characters but is about characters that we already know.
He plans to begin filming in a year. He wants to get all the scripts written for the first season all at once and then go out and shoot them.
Lucas will get it started, hire all the showrunners and then back away from it.
Following this format, there will be multiple directors, multiple writers so we are in for a ride! The future of Star Wars looks bright.

Ian is a great actor. I wish he would consider more movie roles, but if theater is your calling, then do it.

Plus heres the articles inside the first TV guide cover issue the one with Anakin and Obi-wan duel of destiny
The Heart of Darthness
This is the big one. The one that ties it all together. The one that will finally reveal how a pouty young space hero named Anakin Skywalker grew up to become Darth Vader, the biggest, most bodacious badass in movie history.
Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith, the sixth and final installment in George Lucas' intergalactic saga, will land in theaters May 19. A total of 20,000-plus prints will allow the film to open simultaneously in the United States and dozens of other countries. Audience response is expected make that guaranteed to be seismic since, 28 years after the release of the original Star Wars, this universe created by Lucas is far more than eye-dazzling, heart-pumping entertainment. It is now part of our collective mythology. It is the lore of the masses.
"The fans feel a real sense of ownership with Star Wars, almost like they consider it public domain, so their expectations for this final film are huge... scary huge," says Hayden Christensen, who played Anakin in both Sith and its 2002 prequel, Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones. The 24-year-old Canadian heartthrob, a virtual unknown when Lucas hired him, says he "got goose bumps" when he read the script for Sith. Christensen goes so far as to call it "great art," but he also concedes that the challenge of pleasing Lucas' devoted but persnickety fan base is "daunting and terrifying."
He's got good reason to feel that way: Lucas seduced the world with his first trilogy, Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope (1977), Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back (1980) and Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi (1983). But the grand master appeared to have lost his flash when, after a 16-year hiatus, he launched the first of three prequels. Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace (1999) was a massive moneymaker, but many hard-core loyalists found the film lacking in the soul and spirit they'd come to love and thought it way too kid-friendly. They especially hated that blathering, all-digital nuisance Jar Jar Binks.
Attack of the Clones didn't impress them much, either. And Christensen, who kowtowed to Lucas' direction and displayed no hints of the Vader to come, gave a performance so wooden it ranked right up there with Walt Disney's Pinocchio. But the actor has no regrets. "Every minute detail is pre-thought out by George, and I was only there to help him realize his vision," he says. "By the time we got to [Sith], I understood why he had me hold back. So will the audience."
Even Christopher Lee, who returns in Sith as Anakin's sardonic foe Count Dooku, was willing to give up creative control. "This is not like doing Hamlet, where one brings along one's own interpretation," says the 82-year-old Lee, a veteran of more than 200 films. "I do whatever George asks... well, except for backward somersaults. I have total faith in him."
That sentiment seems to be going around. "Everybody wants this to be a great film everybody," says Entertainment Tonight film critic Leonard Maltin. "There is a lot of hope riding on Sith hope that it will redeem the errors of the past and hope that it will send the series out with a bang." Even the snarkiest fans are thinking nice thoughts, according to Joshua Griffin, co-owner of TheForce.net, a popular Star Wars website. "With the last two films, they got more and more worried with each photo or bit of information that was released," Griffin says. "They were saying, 'Has Lucas lost his mind?'" Not so with Sith. "The fan community has taken a big breath and relaxed," claims Griffin. "They sense that Lucas got it right this time."
Maybe that's because the faithful already know a lot about Episode III, thanks in part to a movie novelization released in early April that lays bare the hush-hush screenplay.
The film, which boasts such icons as C-3P0, R2-D2 and Chewbacca, must sync up with major events in the original Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. In the new installment, the Republic will crumble and Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid) will become the evil Emperor of the galaxy. Most of the Jedi population will die, as does Anakin's secret wife, Padmι Amidala (Natalie Portman). Twins Luke and Leia will be born and separated. Yoda (Frank Oz) will go into hiding. And, of course, Sith happens: After a climactic lightsaber battle with his ex-best friend Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor), Anakin will emerge so disfigured and dismembered that he must don the famous life-support Vader suit in order to survive.
Knowing all these preordained twists isn't likely to ruin anyone's good time in fact, it'll probably put even more butts in the seats. "Sith is the film people yearned for Episode I to be," says Rick McCallum, Lucas' longtime right-hand man and one of the film's producers. "They weren't interested in seeing Anakin as a little boy in I or falling in love in II. They want to see him make the terrible choices that lead him to become Darth Vader."
But Sith, the first Star Wars film expected to be rated PG-13, will also take fans to new and unexpected places. As Lucas told Lesley Stahl in a recent 60 Minutes interview, "It's much more of a tragedy... it ends in Hell."
He means that literally. In a riff on Faust, the film travels to the molten-lava world of Mustafar. There, Anakin who has sold his soul to the devil, aka Darth Sidious, Palpatine's true identity duels with Obi-Wan.
McCallum and avant-garde cinematographer Ron Fricke (Koyaanisqatsi) spent five days shooting the volcanic lava flows on Sicily's Mount Etna to help create the look of Hell, which isn't the first time Lucas has ventured into religious waters. In Phantom Menace he revealed that Anakin had had a Christlike birth his mom was a virgin and hinted that his "father" may be the Force itself.
That's hot-button stuff in these oh-so-sensitive times. "George is a man of very great courage," Lee says. "His nerve and imagination make him unique in the history of cinema." And Lucas intends to keep it that way. Though his Star Wars franchise has earned $3.4 billion in worldwide box office and $9 billion in merchandise sales, he sternly told Stahl, "There is no Episode VII."
But production will still continue on Cartoon Network's Star Wars: Clone Wars, an animated series that Lucas helms with McCallum. There's also talk that the duo might do a live-action TV series based on lesser-known Star Wars characters. And each of the six films will be upgraded to 3-D and rereleased one per year, with the first likely to hit theaters in 2007. So while it may seem to be over, in the world according to the 60-year-old Lucas, it's never really over.
"And that's one of my biggest fears in fact, I'm already having nightmares about it," McCallum says with a laugh. "I just know that one day 15 years from now, the phone is going to ring and someone will say, 'Guess what? George wants to make Episode I all over again.'" Michael Logan

heres the 2nd article in same mag.
Duel of Destiny
Warning! Warning! Spoilers approaching! From the beheading of Count Dooku to the genocide of Jedi younglings to Anakin's physical abuse of his dear Padmι, there will be little doubt why Revenge of the Sith might get slapped with a PG-13 rating. The film is also loaded with battles royal. Some are supersize, like the firefight between the Republic and Separatist forces over the planet Coruscant that kicks off the flick. Others are classic one-on-ones: Yoda vs. Palpatine; R2-D2 vs. a deadly droid; Anakin vs. Mace Windu (Samuel L. Jackson); and a penultimate face-off between Anakin and Obi-Wan where, says producer Rick McCallum, "there's no question Anakin will eat it and eat it big time."
But the executive warns that the sequence, which required three months of rehearsal and much buffing up for Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen, is more "intense and powerful because of what it means emotionally than for its technical wizardry." In other words, George Lucas couldn't go all House of Flying Daggers on us. "Stylistically, the duel has to fit into the bigger saga," McCallum says. "We couldn't break with Star Wars tradition and do it in slo-mo or have them jumping at heights we've never seen them jump before."
But Christensen still got his geek on. A lifelong Lucas fan as a kid he used to pay to get into theaters just to see a Star Wars trailer the actor kept his lightsaber after completing the fight sequence, with the boss' permission, natch. "I also nicked a few other items I won't mention," admits Christensen. But his best souvenir will never wind up on eBay. "People are already coming up to me on the street and saying, 'Hey, I wanna shake Darth Vader's hand!' And that is an honor I'll have in my back pocket for the rest of my life." Christensen might say that playing such a legendary villain is a dream come true. But, notes the actor, "Nobody could possibly dream this big."
