OK, yes, I love SW. And just so you know from the start, I very much enjoy the PT, but prefer the OT. And as an old fan I am absolutely 'STARVING' to see the original characters back in action. So after reading what Lucas has said about the story being over with Vader's death, blah, blah, blah, I cannot help myself but suggest there be an animated series starring Luke and Co.
First of all, isn't the story about Anakin's fall essentially over at this point? I think yes. But OK, so Lucasfilm is gonna go back to tell more stories that take place before the 'fall'. Great! I'm sure it's gonna be exciting and I can't wait to see it. But with that in mind why can't there be stories with the original characters that take place during the timeframe of the OT?
Surely there's an appetite for something like this. Especially considering that virtually everytime there's a SW reference or spoof, it's about the OT. Deal Or No Deal only had characters from the OT. Family Guy spoofed the original film. And the majority of the Robot Chicken spoofs are aimed at the OT as well.
Am I the only one who wants to see Vader hunt down the remaining JK's? Especially the one who left him limbless on the shore of a lava river? Or maybe exploring the circumstances around stealing the plans for the DS and setting Leia off on her mission (and why exactly is she a princess btw?). Or how about that bounty hunter that Solo and friends ran into on Ord Mantrell?
I think if Lucasfilm pursued an animated series of the original SW characters they'll be able to infuse it with all the humor and heroics of the OT that would give the franchise a much needed facelift. And perhaps even make it appeal to a wider audience. Because let's face it. The PT and it's spinoffs have basically been all doom and gloom.
Does anybody else feel like I do? Or am I just bat crap crazy?
Some other possible 'animated' adventures of Luke Skywalker and friends:
-Solo dumping the goods and sending Jabba into a bounty hunter frenzy.
- Vader hell bent on finding out who destroyed the DS.
- Shadows Of The Empire (or something like it)
Peace!

For an OT Animated show, I would think anything is possible given enough time. Right now it's all about the PT so let that run it's course then maybe we will get an OT show if Clone Wars is a big hit. So my advice, let's all support the hell out of The Clone Wars then maybe we will see something in the OT afterwards.

I personally think it's a great idea.

I'm always open to more and more Star Wars.
But, personally, I've read enough post ROTJ EU up until the New Jedi Order. Which, IMO, is crap.

Well the other day, George shot down any hopes for a post- ROTJ animated series. I think it's entirely possible that we get a series based on the main character's adventures between IV and V in a few years when Clone Wars has run it's course.
