An interesting thought, I guess it depends on when the t.v. series takes place. If it's shortly after Episode III,
then there are definitely many Jedi still alive who survived the treason of Palpatine. Vader had to hunt them
down with Imperial forces for years afterwards. There's something like a 20 year span between the events in
Episode III and A New Hope, so there are many things that happened in between.

I just hope they make it dark, sad and gritty. I'm not waiting for a Happy universe in the time of great dictatorship and evil. Make it feel like those were the dark times. I also hope it makes people think.
So far only episode 3 really made peolple think about modern day events.

Imperials are a bunch of Nazi's, and after 100 years they're still a bunch of nazi's

If we run into survivors of the Jedi Holocaust, it would be a good oppertunity to show how they were hunted down by the Empire, specifically Vader and the Stormtroopers, and how they were hunted down by the Hutts and Bounty Hunters on Imperial orders, i.e. Boba Fett could play a major antagonistic role, as a Bounty Hunter in his early years, taking out survivors more efficiently than anyone else because of his desire for vengence...

Normally I would agree with this sentiment, however, unlike an introspective show like Star Trek, Star Wars has a greater fantasy element, and thus showing some Star Wars Battlestar Galactica of gritty fights, or Star Wars Trek of philosophy and politics, I think the series would be better as good old fashion escapism, complete with quests, hopes, dreams, etc... Maybe following Republic loyalists or escaped Jedi as they flee across the Galaxy avoiding the Empire, and set up their Rebellion.
Apart from that, im sure there will at least be space for philosophy of liberalism, multiculturalism, freedom, etc, in the Rebel cause, as opposed to the Empire's ideas of might is right, one belief system, one race, and general monolithic attitude, etc.

Yeah, it shouldn't be overly grim, certainly these are dark and dangerous times for those loyal to the Republic,
but this is still Star Wars. And there is always a flicker of hope, in the certain knowledge that in the end
good always triumphs over evil. So there should be adventure and daring deeds, as the heroes fight for this
noble cause against those who would take liberty from them. And, as always, some appropriate humor, too. 
Of course, with some of the stuff Lucas has done in the prequels one has to be nervous of what he might stick
in a t.v. series. But if it's handled with the proper respect, dignity, class and style fitting a Star Wars story,
then it can be really cool. I just hope it's actually done that way.
By the way, is there any official word yet on when this first t.v. series might be on t.v.? Also, when
they say t.v. "series", do they mean a mini-series that lasts a few nights, or do they mean a series that's
on year after year with full length seasons?

I doubt there is really good and evil - its just a case of opposing philosophy. I am not sure Lucas would be able to handle the series to be honest - everyone of the great directors who have made forays into TV have failed. He should leave it to continuity experts, and good TV writers like the guy who did Babylon 5, and it should be EU.

Umm, I hope you're not trying to say that going around murdering children (as the Emperor ordered Vader to do)
is not evil and absolutely wrong?

Huh? Where did that come from? Buddhists dont believe in total good and evil - do you see many Buddhist monks condoning muder? Fact is the Jedi committed wrong too - so were they good? And the Sith for all their wrongs, were still capable of love, so were they entirely evil? I do not believe in absolutes.

"Where did that come from?" You're the one who made the statement that you doubt there is good and evil,
and even when given a crystal clear example of an incredibly evil act, you still don't think that, or apparently
anything else, deserves an unqualified condemnation as absolutely wrong. Anyone who can't say that the
horrific acts that Vader committed in the Jedi temple against defenseless children is absolutely wrong has
a sick mind. And that's all I have to say on the subject.

Again you are making little sense. What has his actions got to do with a belief that everyone is redeemable, and nobody is without darkness?

The TV Series will be a tv series that runs season by season and will not be a mini series. BTW, Lucas is probably not going to be that involved in the script writing process of the TV Series and will most likely have the role as Executive Producer and occasional director. I would think that Lucas would direct or write the pilot episode or at least come up with the basic plot outline for the pilot. We will also probably get to see the ocassional Jedi such as Quinlan Vos, K'Krukh, Asharad Hett, and new Jedi.

Ostrander and Blackman Should make it since they've also came up with the post episode 3 jedi purge stuff.

Also, the jedi centric prequels did well, but aren't quite as well respected as the orginals. I think a prue bounty show would do just fine. Maybe not steller, but fine.
I'd be cool to see some "random" young child undertaking and orphaned doing bounty hunting to survive, and near the later years, we find out it was Boba (even if the DID say no familiar characters).

Lucas is writing and directing the entire first season.

I know, that's what I'm worried about. I am very hopeful, but these stories need to be resolved a whole lot better than what he did with the prequels (and I loe them, too).
