I think think that they should look at shows like Firefly for inspiration. Gritty, dirty, science fiction.

Just as long as it is not like the current Battlestar Galactica. That show is TOO dark, and depressing. I'm thinking there will be more news about this show at the next San Diego Con.

If I was Lucas' advisor on this series, I'd suggest having it center around the Empire. Imperials weeding out traitors, pirates, and left-over Jedi with the occasional assistance of Darth Vader would be a concept beyond awesome. I might even cream my pants if such an announcement was made.

As someone who didn't hate the prequels, I am just looking forward to more Star Wars! Have to admit though that the Clone Wars do nothing for me.

I wonder if it'll be like a "Tales from Jabba's Palace" thing, where each week we get a different set of characters?

Also, did I read somewhere that there would be a couple of series running in parallel with cross-over characters and stories (ala Buffy and Angel)?

Even though I like the whole "jedi on the run" thing in the Dark Times era, I would like to see something different in the live-action show. I hear Boba Fett is going to be in it, but I don't know if that means he will be the show's main character or not.

I have high hopes for this series. Just hope that it is taken in the right direction. I've heard Lucas's little speech on not having any of the main characters (Vader and Palpatine to name a couple) be apart of this. I think it would be pointless not to have at least one major film character start out the series and as the series progresses introduce new characters and go from there. It is essential that the series at least starts out with an "anchor" character from the prequels or else this would seem like any other sci-fi series.

Well, I'm pretty sure Boba Fett is anchor enough.


Hopefully we'll get to explore Mandalorians besides Boba Fett...but is that hoping for too much? thinking

I hope that we get to see Scarlett Johansen in a Leia metal bikini.

Three guesses as to what the live-action show will be centered around...

a. The smuggling culture that arose after the birth of the Empire. A plotline centered around a young or child Han Solo paired with maybe a father/father figure. Chewie being involved is a must. Maybe a side story of Chewie dealing with the Empire's take over of his home planet after Episode III.

b. The forementioned bounty hunters centered around Boba Fett. Background stories of the bounty hunters Vader hired in ESB. Zuckuss, etc.

c. The Empire's first thorn in its side. Either the faction that became the Alliance or one small planet (Naboo?) rebelling against the Empire, kind of like how the French Underground acted against the Nazis in WW2. The Alliance didnt unite overnight. There had to be a time where everything was chaos and people acted on their own and didnt trust anybody.

One other option might be story about the birth of the Alliance itself. That sequence they cut out of Episode III where Mon Mothma met with Padme would be a good starting point. If Jimmy Smits needs work maybe he'd take the role of Bail Organa. But then that would call for the appearance of a young Leia, which probably wont happen. sad

I think it would be interesting to see a few episodes with a 'Coruscant Nights' feel to the series.....the adventures of Jax Paven & Laranth Tarak.

Well, it seems that casting is underway for the live-action show. I wonder if any big time actors are going to be in it.
