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.

I actually think a better and more interest concept might be to follow a Han Solo like character - a smuggler or such who is trying to make his way while flying under the radar of the newly minted Empire and trying to survive among gangsters like the Hutts.....

Hmmmmm.... Does it sound familiar?

Sounds hauntingly familiar. Sure would be a great premise for a show.

One problem: Every minute of Han Solo's life before Episode 4, from his earliest memory to a few seconds before he meets Luke, is covered by Anne Crispin's Han Solo Trilogy, which I thought was awesome.

I dunno, I always preffered smugglers, rebels, imps, and aliens to jedis. Ever since Episode I came out, I've been thinking, "There's no way they can cram all the Star Wars history in to 2 movies." Hopefully it'll deal with the start of the Rebellion, etc. Because in Ep. 3 they'll just be creating the Empire and having Anakin become Darth.

actually what I said was a Han Solo like character - not actually Han Solo, as no one but Harrison could step into that role anyway - c'mon!

Anyway, I just meant a rogue smuggler type would be much more interesting with the background machinations of the formation of the Empire etc...

Personally I would love to see a series following the rebellion vs empire. The Star Wars universe has such a rich tapestry for storytelling that I don't think it could fail. Unless George Lucas decides to pen the entire series. As for the movies, they are not too bad. If you really follow the story of how the Emperor gains control of the Republic it's really interesting. Of course there is the over-use of CGI and one helluva corny love story to spoil the rest of the tale.

Yep. That went well.

A light mist rises from the metal box the story was inexpilicably found in.

If they make a TV Star Wars they should use the books as the template, there are some damn good books in the Star Wars universe. The Yuuzhan Vong!!......oooohh shiiieeettt!! they are bad baddies.. How do you hurt creatures that love pain?
