If the series is not based in the KOTOR era, then I probably won't even waste my time watching it.
That era was more exciting and I don't see how or why they would even attempt to keep pounding the skywalker era away. It's been done and beat to death.
If they can't show a different and more exciting part of the SW universe, then why even bother.

I feel like banging my head on a keyboard everytime I read an interview with Lucas and he says that the tv series will be about unknown characters. Especially when it could be about a young Luke with an older Ben watching over him, Solo and Chewie always getting into something and how he got the Falcon from Lando, Darth Vader and the Empire going after any Jedi that survived, ETC. So many possibilities to explore with characters that we love!
Garbage.
Nobody is interested in watching the same old characters do the same old crap. The only way I think it would even survive is if it's a EU series. Talking of "so many possibilities". That's what they should do. There's lightyears more to the SW universe than the Skywalker era.

I think a mix of new and older characters is the best way to go. You NEED a Fett here, a Jabba there, and perhaps a Vader (I hope I hope I hope) to appear. The droids are a must. It's STAR WARS, not EU Theatre starring Mr. and Ms. Joe Nobody (spelt Joh Nau' 'B' awdee'eee'e'e'e'e'e'e in the novel "Jedi Legacy Dodecology Part XIX: I Can't Believe Someone's Read This)

If Lucas actually manages to write anything as emotionally powerful as any of the episodes of Firefly, and no having someone ghost write ESB for him doesn't count, I'd be surprised. Whedon is a very powerful writer, his dialoge flows with emotion and with feeling, something that's never been seen in the SW film medium.

Who would not enjoy this scene? Of course you're not a sadist! You're a Tarkinist. Which is like a sadist, but... more refined.
(Honestly, I don't care what happens in the live action series as long as Tarkin gets his own damn show. No, make that a story arc. Or half a season.)

whoa!whoa!whoa...Just listen to some of you....What happened....Star Wars has been around for such a long time....The tv series were hardly brought up...only two series i think....the ewoks and the clone wars animated.....through time i'm sure GL will suprise us as he did to everyone in the past...we all know the reason he's doing this....he doesn't want Star wars to be forgotten....and what would Star Wars be without jedi and the Sith....You all should know that not all the Jedi died in ROTS....And how could anyone compare Star Wars to Star Trek....Thats the Gayest show i've ever seen and i've only seen it once....Star Trek never had Lightsabers and Force Powers and also the best war and Space Battles, even includng the best story lines....Star Wars has all the action, all it's mysteries....You can't kill all the Jedi and you can't kill all the Sith....that doesn't happen because every story always has it's conflict....even in life....Now I know this TV series will be really good....i can tell....all the Jedi who survived had to go into exile....My prediction is that GL will bring new characters into this story....characters not spoken of and characters similar to the ones we know..

Im pretty sure for George Lucas this is just Ideal a tv series..because he's a big fan of sci-fi serial's like Buck ROgers and such.... so he'll make it awesome..it'll prolly be hour long , caus half hour just doesn't do it...and i heard that it's actually about the survivors of order 66 and vader hiring boba fett to kill them, but that's just what ive been hearing ...either way
Star Wars is infalable so im not worried however maybe they should stear clear of more Clone Wars stuff , i mean whats left to rele tell

There are some minor concerns, but remember, star wars needs to succeed in the small tube. The release and big success of the original trilogy last year, plus the release of the Star Wars Battlefront video game (Both the biggest bestsellers for LucasArts for the Playstation 2 and the X-box), the success of the clone wars cartoon series, the super success of the KOTOR video game. Yep, star wars is now in the small tube. It needs to do good in this medium. According to Jim Ward and Steven Sansweet, star wars is heading to the small tube, they stated that as good as action figures, novels, and comic books are, they will not be enough to keep star wars going.
Good point. Yes Star Wars is going to have to succeed on the small screen to stay around.
yeah. who knows. if this series works out, we can be in for years and years of star wars TV series.
there will always be an audience for star wars, so why not bring it to the TV
True. A major reason star trek waned is that the federation`s own stance of non-violence, diplomacy and non-interference don`t work very well in the long run in trying to get ratings. Which is why star trek needs a breather to make people yearn for it again.
Star Wars on the other hand was made for tv. Episodic content. Morality grounded primarily in the battle between good and evil. And an inherent glee for action of all types. I just can`t wait to see the season one finale. I hope its a cool duel between vader and someone. It would be nice to see darth vader in his full attire with 21st century level of sabre skills.

I meant, Josh Wheateat is okay - I mean Buffy was tolerable - for what it was. And that Firefly thing was a decent-ish second-tier Star Wars knock-off.
Neither example make me jump up and down (wiggle wiggle) thinking that this makes him worthy of Star Wars.
In fact, there is a self-concious vibe to his stuff that screams "Listen to this cynical, post-modern coolness full of biting allusions, and commentary galore"... which, in my opinion, does not gel with what Star Wars is about.
I'm afriad that if Jozza Weeble took the realm, every character would be live in moral grey-areas, relishing in their ambiguously flawed, inner-tortured mess. They'd navel-gaze their pretty faces and pout & preen through their adventures.
And, like, that's sooooo 1998!
Not to mention Whedon has distinct trouble in writing strong male leads. They all come off as being a joke or a bit too effeminate.

Accept that Star Wars was designed from the beginning to be a (then) modern mix of mythology and allegory, making statements not only on history, but specifically the Vietnam war and the collapse of the Hollywood Studio System.

So, they'd be Han Solo?! I don't understand your objection then, if the live action TV series is meant to be about the morally ambiguous time when the battle lines are not clearly drawn out yet.

Star Wars does it in a very different way than Joss Whedon does. Lets just say he is not too casual about it and it seems pretty darn forced.
I really can't stand that guy's die hard following that he gets. I think the first couple story arcs of Astonishing X-Men were amazing, but in my mind it is the only impressive thing he has ever done.

I agee that Whedon sucks...and sucks hard.
Regardless, this thing will blow in ways that are almost unfathomable.
