His writing is soooo bad! Dialogue sucks. But i'm sure it will make it's money back numerous times over and be deemed a success - if only on dvd sales- as completists will buy- and i'm sure Bullfrog will milk it by releasing several versions to rip fans off. As for million per episode- you'll be surprised what he can do- he owns the biggest fx company in the world!! so no cost there and most people would be involved cheap just to get a name check or career foot up. sure it will look nice- but will the storylines suck? probably- Will it be as bad as the last lave action Tv outing? How could it!!! The HOLIDAY SPECIAL!!!! AAAArrrrrrggggghhhhhh!!!!! lol Let us all hope 'he force is with us' on that one!!! Lucas the bullfrog will crucify this.

If the stories and acting sucks then I won't watch it. It will probably be a flop but I will tune in to check it out. If the stories and acting sucks then I won’t watch it.

Thanks, but no thanks Mr. Lucas. This particular sentence, “Lucas is writing and producing the first season, which is currently set to debut in 2009,” was all the information I needed to know.

Its a great way to develop characters for a long term show. There is a lot of potential storytelling here. You have the formation of the empire, the rebel alliance, the jedi purge, all the bounty hunters etc. It would be cool if they followed the lost formula and based every episode around a character, including flashbacks or whatever.

He wasn't the one that created the rabid fan base. The extended universe is what created the ridiculos culture we now love. Timothy Zahn and Kevin J Anderson need to be more involved than Lucas. He started it, and there were fanboys, but they didn't go crazy until the EU stuff started existing. I have t osay, George needs to just sit back and let omeone else do this.

I would like for the series to explore the world of the bounty hunters. Imagine a Dengar episode, or Ig-88. There is potential for some good episodes. They can have Jedi who escaped the purge and are on the run from the empire and the bounty hunters. This is a show that is probably best suited for either Fox network or Sci-Fi channel, since it will most likely be a cult show. But I think LucasFilm is doing their homework, and will not release something sub-par for television. The show should feature Boba Fett in some way.

He knew what was at stake when he made "Empire" and "Jedi". The only reason I beleive he is revisiting Star Wars is because he has more story to tell. George wanted to make "Empire" and "Jedi" before the origanal became famous. The reason he is doing it is because he enjoys the universe and chacacters. I enjoy the characters and universe as well. I am really looking forward to this Tv show, because i know it's going to be a lot better than most Tv shows. I think george knows whats at stake. He knew what was at stake

I will watch, as a huge SW fan. But, there is a high chance that this will suck big time. Not to mention, the dialogue that Lucas writes is not good to say the least. I am not too sure that the dialogue will hold up to something like Battlestar Galactica or Star Trek has on TV. He should let someone else write these stories, and just over see them. And to GabeAsher - What the heck are you talking about? Manakin(assume you meant Anakin), Luke and Leia meet in the TV series? Do you even have a clue about the SW universe? And what part of "the series will focus on the expanded universe and explore the life (of) minor characters from the Star Wars galaxy" did you not understand? Go read the expanded universe books, then come back to make a comment. I’m scared of what this could be. I will watch, as a huge SW fan. But, there is a high chance that this will suck big time.

Especially when a series takes place during no actual Star War. The Force Unleashed video game will be my last journey to this universe, and thats only because its built as a solid video game. I fooled myself for 6 years into liking the prequels... but the sad truth is they're not worth re-watching or owning. Hell I don't even really like the original trilogy much anymore except camp value. Like I said, Lucas has destroyed the brand. I can't take it seriously. Producing 100 episodes assumes anyone would want to watch what will surely be shit. The only hope this has is that Lucas will not be directing the actors and they might accidentally deliver a line well. after 10 years of destroying the brand, no I am not excited for more Star Wars.

It would be an amazing feat to pull off. I'm sure Lucas has learned over the years what Star Wars fans expect of him, and maybe he can do a better job with a whole galaxy of new characters in the extended universe. I'll be watching, regardless. Yikes, 400 episodes? It would be an amazing feat to pull off.

He said he was making all of these himself regardless if it was ever picked up by any network. So that may explain the budget he set. Also allot of people forget that arguably the best SW film was the first one which he had a crap budget for and that movie was awesome. When you are pinched thats when the real genius stuff happens that fans usually like ... usually. I am excited for this. The fans need something to spark some life into the franchise after the prequels. I read an interview with him a while back about this.
