Season 1 should undoubtable pick up just a few months after the events of Revenge of the Sith. It will focus a great deal on the Birth of the Rebellion as the Empire expands its hold over the Galaxy. The Few Remaining Jedi Knights struggle to Survive as Agents of the Empire at the behest of Darth Vader relentlessly hunt them down.
The Television series will take us all the way up to the time of A New Hope so the Possiblities are limitless. They could do a few episodes on a young Han Solo and have Chewbacca play a role, they could do some Droid Episodes with R2-D2 Returning along with his counterpart C3-P0. But as we know the show will feature and focus on characters who did not play a major role in the feature films and not be tied into the Skywalker story but the overall Star Wars Story which is what I am looking forward to the most. So many characters could be featured inculding Mon Mothma, General Crix Madine, General Dodonna, Bail Organa, Biggs Darklighter, Kyle Katarn, Boba Fett, IG-88, Bossk, Dengar, Jabba The Hutt or any other Hutt. The Black Sun Criminal Empire and Xizor, Any number of surviving Jedi, Tarkin, ........Just to name a few.
I have a few ideas as well, If Kiefer Sutherland is not tied up with 24 which the live action series starts filming I think he would make a perfect Rebel Agent like Kyle Katarn, The one who actually steals the Death Star Plans and delivers them to Princess Leia before she falls victim to Darth Vader.
Although I surely Hope 24 is still on the air since it is my fav show ever, however if they do this Star Wars TV Series right it could be the best thing to hit TV in a long, long time........

Hrmmm. What basis do you have for your statements? I enjoy the speculation and I think it could be eminently entertaining to have a 24-esque LAS set in the gffa. I am just wondering whether what you wrote is rampant speculation, what you "hope" the series will be about, or whether you have any basis for your comments. Like I said...speculation is fine, I am just trying to discern whether your post falls within the "speculation" category.
I also don't think that it's going to focus too much on the formation of the Rebellion...though it might. Lucas has hinted that it's going to be an opportunity to explore nuanced areas of the gffa and that there will be no Jedi in the LAS.
Interesting all the same.

If you think all those familier faces will be appearing in the live action series, then I'm afraid your setting yourself up for a fall. The LA series will primarily focus on new characters.

Yeah, we MIGHT get one of those characters in the LAS but I am skeptical.

I thought Lucas said the Series is going to be very chararcter based but lack the overall tiein to the Skywalker story but have a context that features the main Star Wars story which is of Course.....Good vs Evil, Empire vs Rebellion. I mean when you boil it all down and get down to the root of what Star Wars is and what has made it so popular and continues to do so it is the classic Struggle that we all face in our everyday lifes, that is what attracts so many people to this saga.
Also in addition to many of the characters I mentioned above, I believe we will see many expanded universe characters, you claim they will be new but if you have read the books there are hundreds of characters that have never appeared in the movies that could be a great addition to the TV series. I think that the Series should be and will be based on characters that we have a brief look at in the movies like a Boba Fett, His story fleshed out more would be amazing, or prehaps a young Jedi you has lost his master in the purge and who is seeking out Obi-Wan Kenobi who is by this time of course is hiding on Tatoonie. We may see the Imperial Adcamdey for the 1st time, prehaps we will see the Kessel Run and who knows it may even feature a young Han Solo. Maybe we will see the young Rebellion struggling against the Evil Empire in ways that have yet to be told..........Like I said the Possiblites are limitless and I already know that many of the Expanded universe writers are being hired for the TV Series and they all have very good Imaginations so let the wait for the TV Series Begin.

I think they should do new character but bring in some EU characters that we, the fans all know.
When the ROTS novel came out it was friggin' awesome to see that Garm Bel Iblis was mentioned. I imagine that even if people could be mention a fan could get all giddy.

Sorry
Don't have any expectations of a sequential story...it will not happen.
Have no expectations of knowing "where" in the 20 years most episodes occur (I bet 2 or 3 a season tops will have any kind of reference for dating) That kind of information is pointless to what will be very personal stories of characters for the most part. (example: a story about Boba Fett, either in 15, or 10 BBY won't really matter when he is just collecting bounties all the same.)
Expect few references to major characters...and no references to other media in the time frame (comics, novels, VGs).
Most of the episodes will be stand alones...and not "stars" other then a recurring character who the production staff like (as these are all going to be produced outside of the studio on their own time, we won't be seeing the return of "fan favorites" unless they decide to extend the series beyond the original 100 episode plan.)
Now I am sure over time the fans will create a timeline based on little things inside the show...but don't expect a "stardate" or some other way of seaming these episodes into each other. I rather expect one week to be Knocking on ANH and the next to be seeing the introduction of the TIE fighter years earlier...chronological order will not serve this projects intentions...and I expect quite intentionally, it will be broken up accordingly.

I dont think you are right, I think Lucas is not going a stand-along set of TV Shows. I think it will be a Television Series that begins after Revenge and ends shortly before A NEW HOPE !!!!
Now Lucas has shown in the movies that he likes skipping vast amounts of time in between each film
There is 10 years in between TPM And AOTC, 3 Years in between AOTC and ROTS, and 20+ years in between ROTS and ANH, 3 years in between ANH and TESB and about1.5 years inbetween TESB and ROTJ.
With that being said, The Television series could follow the same pattern of skipping time prehaps roughly months or even years during the 1st 100 episodes but it will follow the lifes of some primary characters, I think it will follow Boba Fett and his activities explaining openly why he was the most feared Bounty hunter, It will follow a Imperial prehaps Tarkin or someone of lesser rank, it will follow a Rebel leader prehaps Kyle Katarn the Agent who feels the Force and steals the Death Star Plans and it will tie into the overall Jedi vs Sith War with continues as well....

And I think you are day dreaming about characters you like getting extensive depth.
but that's ok.
At this point, we are all guessing. You obviously are basing your thoughts on Star Wars alone.
I'm thinking in general terms about the man's projects...and in particular his last major TV project: Young Indy Chronicles.

I remember before the prequels, there was speculation that Episode III would end with the Death Star plans being stolen or with the "victory" thats mentioned in the opening crawl of IV.
I highly doubt that the TV show will cover such a large span of time and fill all the gaps.
You have to take a few things into consideration: If Lucas fills all the gaps so quickly, he will less leg room in that time period for future projects (I think this is the biggest point). Also, a TV show that lasts 5 seasons will likely only cover 5 years of a certain group of characters' lives. The show MUST be coherent!
I don't know. don't listen to me.

The show has already been established as having no "core" characters...the premise of the story is the galaxy, and no singular person or event inside the galaxy will shape it.
Think of it like Tales from the Crypt or the Twilight Zone...shows that had no "stars" but readily formed a new group of characters from week to week. I think we'll probably get a few characters make a recurring appearance from season to season (Boba Fett will probably appear in 2-3 episodes a season). But the show is not focused around anybody...it's about the Star Wars Galaxy.
Tales from a Galaxy Far Far Away should be the name of the Show.

HanSolo whatever number you have, apparently you haven't studied the patterens of the all mightly flaneled one. The tv series will probably resemble that of the young indiana jones. Look at the Ewok movies and the droid and ewok cartoon series. Did they tie in any where with the OT movies? Nope. The only series that will have a big impact in my opinion and may have GL state that this is how the clone wars occurred after Episode upto Episode 3 is the animation. Becuase all the main charcters and situations are there. But the live action will be quite different with hardly any realtions to what you saw in the 6 movies. They'll probably fall under the Ewok movies and Droids/Ewoks cartoon zones. Good, but stand alone.
