Yeah, that would be pretty friggin sick if they came up with a TV series after ROTJ. I'm actually taking a script writing class now and I'm working on doing a screen play for the first five chapters of the Thrawn Trilogy. It would be pretty sweet if they did a Thrawn trilogy TV series. Have like 3 seasons of it, each episode consisting of a few chapters. I think it could work.
A KOTOR TV series would be sick too though, much easier to cast too if it were to be a live action TV series. That is the only problem I see with doing a TV series based on events after ROTJ...if it were live action, it'd be extremely difficult to cast all of our favorite characters such as Luke, Leia, Han, Lando, etc. You would almost have to make it a CG series.

I may be alone, but I hope they would go CGI for the series. The though of having someone else play Han or Luke is just downright terrible. I think in 5 years or so, once the Clone Wars has run it's course, they'll turn to a new part of the timeline. George and Rick have both said that as long as we watch these series, they'll keep making 'em.

I'd rather they do CGI unless it's set around 30 years after Jedi with Mark as Luke, Carrie as Leia, and (as unlikely as it is) Harrison as Han.

Yeah I agree, having someone else play our long time favorites wouldn't be good at all...

I'm probably one of the few people who wouldn't have a problem with recasting. The only one that would be tough for me to swallow would be the guy to play Han. It could really work though. Ultimately though I think for a show that takes place after ROTJ it should take place like 100 or so years afterward and deal with the heir of skywalker. Apparently there is a comic series that is already doing just that but it's an idea. Just find an actor to play as Cade (I think that's his name.)
I wouldn't see a problem with replacing actors but if people did indeed have a problem with it they should just move the series a couple of hundred years after the movies and start fresh with new characters. Now that's a reboot.

You're not alone. I wouldn't mind a recast either. As long as the actors are good and the series is done well I don't care if the actors are different.

As far as the time period after RotJ goes, Lucas has said that 'There is no story'. You'll never see Lucas' version of how Luke rebuilt the Order and such, because Lucas' story just ends with RotJ.
He's got lots of stuff in his head for what happened before the PT. So I'm all for the idea of visiting the KotOR era.
But Post RotJ EU is horrible overall, IMO. As much as I liked some aspects of the Thrawn Trilogy, it's not as good as people make it out to be. I thought Luke was horribly out of character, and incredibly naive for following C'baoth's nonsense teachings. It is totally not the Luke like he is at the end of RotJ. It's more like the Luke from ANH. Somehow Zahn doesn't seem to grasp the meaning of RotJ.
Let's see what else we have, oh yes; Kyp Durron and that totally cheese concept of the sun crusher. And he pulls the thing out of the heart of a freaking gas giant with the Force. Right. That's even worse than Yoda pulling down Star Destroyers in the Clone Wars cartoon.
Don't even get me started on Yuuzan Vhong.
And the NJO series is a total blasphemy of Lucas' original concept of how the Force works.
/rant
The only things I liked were some of the X-Wing series books. Then there's the Bounty Hunter Wars and some of the other Boba Fett books.
I would like to see the early days of Katarn, the Dark Forces era, it's always been one of my favourite EU stories set during and after the OT. AND MARA JADE 
If anything, I would like to see Nar Shaddaa in a Live Action series. Why? Because it's the most awesome place in the GFFA, that's why.

There's really no antagonist for anything after ROTJ. It would be pointless to continue the story.

If Lucas hadn't noticed, stuff that takes place after RotJ and before his prequels have been more successful than these between the saga installment stuff. I mean, seriously. It's SW. Star Wars. A universe beyond Sith and Palpatine. I mean, Stargate creators didn't say 'oh the Go'ald is gone. No more story.'. Then comes Atlantis with the Wraith. Oh look, Stargate is doing just fine without the Go'ald.
Let's face it, Jedi Outcast and Knights of the Old Republic are better than all the Clone Wars games. No story. Yeah. It's called 'staying in the past is going to bite in the a**'.

Q: Are you happy for new Star Wars tales to be told after you're gone?
Lucas: I've left pretty explicit instructions for there to be not any more features. There will definitely be no Episodes VII-IX. That's because there isn't any story. I mean, I never thought of anything! And now there have been novels about the events after Episode VI, which isn't at all what I would have done with it. The Star Wars story is really the tragedy of Darth Vader. That is the story. Once Vader dies, he doesn't come back to life, the Emperor doesn't get cloned and Luke doesn't get married...

Personally, I'm very happy with that. Seeing how lots of the post - RotJ EU totally ruined the Star Wars universe i.m.o.
True, the Dark Forces stories and KotOR stories were great, I'll give you that. But Lucas has more ideas about the KotOR era than about post RotJ era.

Really, Lucas? Then why the hell isn't Vader the main star in the live action series? SW saga is supposedly all about Ani. So where is he in the LA series. Lucas's LA series contradicts his whole paragraph. Since it is placed within the saga shouldn't it be about Anakin since SW is about Anakin?

Though it doesn't seem Lucas shares that opinion- so it does make one wonder if he'd still permit that existing content to be translated into an audio/visual medium since he seems to approve of it, even if he would have done differently.

The idea of Harrison Ford working on a cartoon is kinda far fetched. I think that no matter what, if anything was done with the OT characters they'd be recast with soundalikes.
Now, Mark Hamil...? A little more likely. (After all, what's he doing?)

I don't see how you come to this conclusion, seeing as he says: "And now there have been novels about the events after Episode VI, which isn't at all what I would have done with it."

Because prior to saying that he mentions in the article that "They created this whole amazing universe that goes on for millions of years!". Add into the mix his past contributions to EU material, and his past comments about how he knew the SW universe was too big for only him to tell the possible stories in it, etc, etc and it seems to place the comment in question into the context of "I approve/like/encourage it, even if it is not the direction I would have personally taken."
