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

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.

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

"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."


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.

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?

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.
