the problem with KOTOR is it's limited appeal, and concerns over possible conflictions with the existing storylines of the games. I know many people loved the KOTOR games, but only a tiny minority of the total SW fanbase have ever played the games.
I agree it's an interesting proposal, but they could just as easily create an entirely new area of history to start a fresh from.
As far as global appeal goes its safer to remain in a time frame that all of the fans are aware of - ie clone wars, or the period between EP3 and 4.

Well Mailkie answered my question as to why more clone wars. But, if that is going to happen, I will like to see a something more in the line of Halo. Massive battles like the UNC vs the Covennant. Next year, a massive video game is coming out, Halo Wars. It will have big battles between both factions. Why not the same thing with the Clone Wars? The republic vs. separtisits? Nothing for nothing, but the Battelfront and Legos games are good, but they are kind of bland compared to the above listed possibility. My biggest fear is that the new clone wars are going to be more of the same small character type stories. I want to see the big ground battles, the big space battles that that movies cannot show due to time constraints and special effects. Heck, even the clone war novels and the comic books failed to really show real epic big battles. That is one of my major dissapointments of the clone wars. With the exception of course of Genndy's clone wars cartoons. Now those were great for being short and being ripped apart by many die hard (characterization oriented) fans.

I completely agree with you. I'm way more interested in inter-film stuff than completely EU stuff. For that matter, I'm way more interested in the gap between 3 & 4 than the Clone Wars. It's fresher territory, and the timeframe is bigger than a bantha buttock.

But they can have some of our favorite characters, and then have a bunch of previously unknown characters and locales.
I think it's a great idea - the galaxy in wartime - they can explore the Republic, the Confederacy, how war affects the Jedi, etc.
Given that the live action series is taking place between ROTS and ANH, I don't think we need the animated series to do the same.

Whoh whoh whoh......
I happen to like the Clone Wars characters. The novels/comics spent wayyyyy too much time on a select few of them (Quinlan, Anakin, etc). Besides, we never got a good look at the Separatists. There are tons of books/comics out there making heroes out of the Imperials. How come there's practically nothing about the Separatists yet?

I dunno, the Clone Wars campaign between AOTC and ROTS had video games, books, comics and the animated shorts. All contributed to the Saga, some obviously better than others.

Yeah, I would prefer TV series about the KOTOR period or set after ROTJ than another series about the Clone Wars. The first series were pretty cool, so, I think they're enough. But well, I also prefer another series about the Clone Wars than no series at all.

I think the clone wars cartoons failed to give a 'realistic'look and feel to the clone wars, so I think that's why lucas wanted to make another one. One less kid-friendly. I'll hope they'll aproach the series as they did with the movies.

Hey - I'm not knocking it at all. Hell, I think that the Cartoons were amazing!
What I am saying is... after Episode III, it's done now. To go BACK to it feels like, well, redundant.
I'm ALL FOR the live action series taking place between EpIII & EPIV - that's almost 20 years worth of previously uncharted Star Wars Buffet Action.

Separatists are villains because they're capitalists. Profit motive, free exchange of goods, and increasing technology are to be demonized. I mean, all businessmen are like Ken Lay and Nute Gunray, you know.

The Seps go way beyond what any actual company in the last 100-odd years has ever done. I don't think they're meant to be an accurate representation.
Anyway, clone wars tv:
Star Wars Galaxy=1 million inhabited worlds.
Clone Wars=3 years long.
Actual clone wars comics: 40 or so.
clone wars cartoon: a couple of hours with no actual plotlines.
Books: 7 or 8.
There's plenty of story material out there. We haven't seen everything; in Dark Lord, it's mentioned that the war was being fought on two hundred different worlds when Order 66 came across. Two hundred. That alone is a huge number.
Clone Wars could quite literally go on for years if you don't limit yourself to Jedi mains.

Mostly true, but not completely: Asajj Ventress being sent to fight Anakin by Sidious in order to push Ani closer to the Dark Side; Grevious kidnapping Palpatine; Anakin's whole adventure on Nelvaan, including his vision of his dark-side fall in the cave.
But yes, fot the most part the series was about various battles in the war.
