Especially as Lucas says Artoo is his personal favourite character. It wouldn't be Star Wars without them, though I hope they're both given something useful to do, rather than being wasted a la the PT.

It would be cool to see R2 and 3PO rescue Captain Antilles and the crew during some early skirmishes with the Empire.

I've also read that Ewan McGregor has said he'd be more than happy to reprise his role for a cameo within this series. That would be fantastic.

I would not be surprised to see Ewan show up for a number of cameo appearances just as Harrison Ford appeared in the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles. At TV series with Ian McDiarmid as Emperor Palpatine, Ewan McGregor doing cameos as Obi-Wan, Daniel Logan as Boba Fett and someone in the Darth Vader suit along with lots of new characters and storylines would have the makings of great television.

It meant:Episode 3 Spoilers Allowed

In the early days (before AICN posted massive spoilers) there were little spoilers, yet I had a blast with the speculation and theories.

3NS for life. I'll definitely be going spoiler-free for the TV show like I was for the movies.

If I had the will power I'd do the same but alas I am far too weak.

So far we're not really given a choice - other than "Cartoon Clon Wars Yoda landing in 3D Simpsons Land".

This TV series really is going to be hit or miss.

On the one hand it could be spectacular and on the other... it could flop terribly.

Boba Fett being on the poster fills me with hope though, Bounty Hunters are a brilliant basis for a series.

Cameo appearances from saga characters could be a bit gimmicky though, so hopefully they won't do that.

Well I wouldn't mind say a hologram of Vader giving Fett an assignment but that's as far as I'd want it to go.

This TV show will be a major ground-breaking hit - not a miss. Also, I believe GL will find a way to make sure the show cannot be subject to the whims of network schedulers who are only interested in ratings and keeping the sponsors happy. No matter who gets the show, GL will control the arrangement like he did with the prequels. I don't know if there is such a thing as "independent" television, but the Star Wars Live Action TV Show likely will be the closest thing to it.

As for spoilers, they don't really bother me. They are not always accurate or up to date. If I'm interested, I read them and if I'm not, I don't. For me, "spoilers" really don't spoil my enjoyment of seeing the final movie - or in this case - TV show.

For me ( during ROTS at least) I drew the line at dialog or exact details. I could deal with general plot details but I didn't want a detailed outline of action like "Obi-Wan kicks Anakin on top of the table". It was more liek for me, "anakin and Obi-Wan fight on Mustafar". I am unsure if that makes ense.

That makes sense- I adopt differing spoiler approaches depending on the franchise. With Star Wars, i like to be generally in the dark of specific things as well as character deaths and the like, but broad strokes and such I usually can't avoid giving into, but I can exercise a level of patience with it. By contrast, with Battlestar Galactica, I avoid most spoilers as that's a program meant to just blow you away with it's shocks (I adopt the "raise your hand in front of your face to block the TV" approach to those bloody annoying teasers integrated into the second part of the title sequence), whereas, say, with Stargate I eat up all the spoilers shy of exact dialogue/scripts, etc as that show is just so darn addicting I need something to hold me over during midseason/season breaks.

It'll be interesting to see what I end up doing with the SW show after the nature of the show becomes apparent and I can judge which to take- though, obviously, being a mod here will probably require I have some level of spoiler exposure so I can keep tabs on the various spoiler-designated threads.
