lol why that? we could make an ST vs. SW series... take Stravos "book" for example, it would _rule_ !! there could easily be at least 15 Episodes/50 mins, maybe make a 2nd season! what ya think about that... some1 has to talk to Paramount and Lucas, that would be the ownage Science Fiction spactacle! it would be literally epic!

There was already a thread about that. You would have to make it so unrealistic that it wouldn't even be fun.
And you may ask yourself, 'Where does that highway go to?'

Plus neither Lucas nor Beavis and Butthead would want their side to lose.

I'm surprised we haven't had a TV series yet. I suppose a NJO series would be cool. Never read the books, but meh, could work.

Ender wrote:2 novels, and a series of comics that are largly contradicted by later material (eg. Hoth stuff). All of which focuses on Luke, meaning they bearly did shit with it. Given the scope and the time frame, it is very much untouched territory.
You can't use a single account of out-of-continuity comics to contradict the whole Marvel run. Hell, there's a JC Question dedicated to this very topic.

Anyhow, by "barely touched on" I assumed you met had almost no publications. But by your definition we have much more open territory in the post-Endor period. There's lots of rimworld smugglers, deals going down, local politics, warlords, etc. Think about going back to the CSA during the Zsinj campiagn, or some of the former CIS powerhouses.

I think in that context, the Rise of the Empire is a much better slot. Think of hunting down the Jedi, the release of the Imperator, and an analogue to the Empire comics series.

3. Lucas hires B&B and gives them full creative control


Please state where you think the series will go, how it will do, and how you will react

EDITED: (one t or two?)
#3 would be Darkstar's meat spanking dream as he stalks B&B to beg them to make SW "underpowered" just so he can "win" debates.

Actually the best setting for a series would be, IMNSHO, would be thousands of years before, far away from the movies. Set possibly during the Republic's wars with the Sith, or some other enemy. Yes, I was heavily influenced by Knights of the Old Republic. :twisted:

Suck, however with Saxton as a technical advisor with the power to override JMS when he foobars, then it'd be ay-ok.
