It wouldn't surprise me at all Sape. On the Prequls Lucas allowed Coleman to do a little bit of directing, so he may have been getting him ready for the TV series, so to speak.

Damn !
There goes all my dreams up in smoke then !
Wonder how many seasons this show will, hopefully, last for ?
5 ? 100 hours, that's about right isn't it ?

I have heard that the target production quota for the show is roughly 100 hours of story. What that translates into as far as episodes are concerned, I am unsure.
I am especially leery of Lucas staying strictly in-house with the directorial duties for the television series. I understand that in order to maintain the tenor and feel of the movies, someone in LFL will have to remain at the helm; however, there is no need for the series to be just like the films. Especially because this is a different medium.
But hey, I enjoyed the films, even thought their re-watchability has greatly diminished, and I trust that Lucas will be wise with his choices for directors.

I still think that Kevin Smith will be involved; even if it is just to direct a couple of Episodes.

I forgot about that. But surely he would be better at keeping continuity than Lucas. 
LOL... Yeah but Yoda did instruct Obi-Wan...Angel was NOT Spike's sire as Spike said in season 2. There were just some that bugged the hell out of me in Buffy. Star Wars too but not nearly as much.
Rob Coleman directed episodes of the Clone Wars cg series. I don;t think directors will be hired until after the writers are.

I think George wants to do what they did with the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles in that they are going to write ALL the scripts first, ALL OF THEM ! Then they've got the complete series. I mean how long's that gonna take ?

Well I think you're exactly right. I can't seem to find where I read that, but I know that I did. That's really the only way to explain why this would be taking so long. Most shows come together in a span of months, not years. And it sounds like George has been working on the storylines, so all these writers need to do is convert these into scripts. Most series' writers pretty much determine the storyline as the series goes on. Filming all at once would be so much cheaper to do and it would probably allow them to get higher profile actors if they want (not tied down in a 5 year contract). And George is very conscious about the cost of it all, and rightfully so, as he is funding this.

He's pretty much duplicating what he did with the Original Trilogy in that he kept writing and writing the original STAR WARS until it eventually got away from him, he took the first 3rd which was, now, "A New Hope" then he protected what would eventually become Empire and Jedi.
With all the scripts already in place unlike other shows *cough* LOST *cough* who say they have and overarching mythology and not simply making it up as they go along, George actually will have an ending already in place for the show.
But like all things fan reaction etc. the show will have to evolve and the story will be tweaked some-what, without compromising the existing vision.
Wookie Warrior - Dude I can't remember either for the life of me where he said about the scripts !!!! I remember the phrase "Because we need to write all the scripts first" but I cannot pin-point where and when the hell he he said it.

I think they should start and end each show with Vader in his chamber...either having a flashback or a plot outline for the show.

The show is said to focus on minor characters we have seen in the films and or completely new characters, so I doubt each episode will begin and end with Vader in his meditative chamber.

I doubt we'll see Vader all that much, though I am sure he will be referred to quite often. Hopefully there will be a cameo or two for Vader, Palpatine and perhaps two particular Jedi hermits.

I'm sure they'll make appearances when the Rebellion takes form and Bail Antilles needs powerful allies.

Antilles or Organa? I think Antilles largely fell out of Galactic politics after the Trade Federation's invasion and his failed attempt to secure the Chancellorship. He continued to muster support opposing Palpatine's regime but I think his son in law, Bail Organa, was the one recruiting allies and the like.
