the last 2 star wars films stank, but saying that the 3rd movie has a darker tone to it . Lets hope Star Wars : the tv show dosent go ahead.
If they must make star wars tv just do a mini series that continues after return of the jedi?

You know, there actually have been rumors like these floating around for quite a while. The success of the expanded Star Wars universe in books have not gone unnoticed. I wouldn't put it past them to do a live action TV series just yet.

"Our plan for the series is simple yet effective. We plan to broadcast each episode out of order and air them in different time slots on a different day each week. The series will be expensive due to the number of special effects shots so we plan to offset the cost by foregoing any advertising whatsoever."

When asked how this strategy would create a fan base, Fox reps responded by saying,"Well, it worked pretty well for Firefly!"

ROTFLMAO!
As soon as I saw Lucasfilm and FOX listed together, I got EXACTLY the same notion. So they better have everything wrapped up around ep 11 'cause they ain't goin' no farther. Not if FOX has anything to do with it.

If they did a SW tv series the best direction they could go in is either 4,000 years before the films like the Knights of the Old Republic game or 1,000 years before the film and chronicling the downfall of the Sith. Either way, the base of the show would have to be a Jedi vs. Sith concept (the most interesting aspect of the films, IMHO) and would have to take place far enough away from the timeline of the films so that fresh characters could be put into place.

As long George Lucas doesn't write or direct, I think a SW tv series would work.

He's joking about Fox and Firefly, but not about Star Wars TV.

So there is a rumor there might be a show, possibly, but they don't know if it will be live action or anime.

Sounds pretty ify to me.

I agree. Fox seems to have a certain habit of either cancelling good shows long before they are stale, or just taking a good idea and ruining it. Although...if the show was about a group of rebels (aout 9 or so) in the early Empire smuggling slightly less than legal cargo around in their old cargo ship...that could be effective.
