One will be a full 3D animation series (with 30-minute episodes) of the recent Cartoon Network Clone Wars shorts, and the other a live-action series, that will be set in the time between Episodes III and IV, but won't feature the main characters. Production is expected to begin in about a year."

YES! I've fucking had enough of the main characters already! I can't wait to see what kind of a show the second one turns out to be.

Someones already mentioned this a while back.

Hmm, do we know anything more about the show? Like is it going to be set from the perspective of Imperials, Rebels (or the forming rebels), or just regular people?

Either way, it's hopefull going to rock.

Groovy. Thats one thing that always kina bugged me is that if there is such a huge universe of unending opportunity, why stick with the same couple of characters.

How quickly you forget.

Hopefully we get some Jedi Purge action

Maybe Darth Vader as a guest villan, showing up to slaughter a few Jedi once in a while?

I hope that the Jedi witches hardly ever make an appearence, let alone even mentioned at all. Other than the movies, I fucking hate stories that revolve around the Jedi.

The Purge was mostly finished in RotS.

Yeah but seeing a slaughter would be fun

It's already been done. Other than the occasional mop-up action, the sons of bitches are all dead.

I'd rather see the main characters have to work around some Jedi asshole (not Dark Jedi, just asshole) that's a bureaucrat or something and keeps fucking with them.

It would be really neat if Vader played a big role in one of them.

The title will be Two Jedi, A Stormtrooper, And A Forest Moon.

I'm glad it won't feature main characters, though I hope they're not carbon copies either. Maybe something focussed around bounty hunters or smugglers or some other type of entrepeneurs.

The CG cartoon seems a tad cryptic. I was hoping for an animated 'The Han And Chewie Show'.

Yeah, that's what I'm rooting for. They don't even have to be hardcore smugglers or any sort of criminals, just being the crew of a regular light freighter can be pretty interesting in the SWU. What with Imperial entanglements, Hutt cartels, BoSS, miscellaneous merchant guilds established in the EU and all....

Wow, this is awesome news. The time period between the trilogies is a mystery, and there's a lot of good stories that could be told about it. I'm also glad that they have the balls to focus on new characters. A series about the rise of the Empire was probably the best premise for the show that people could think of, and it's great to see that Lucas will probably be using it.

The animated series came as a surprise. What do they have to do with the Clone Wars shorts on the Cartoon Network? Will the new show be a CGI, 30 minute remake of the shorts? No more crappy animation or extremely short lengths? That sounds a lot like what a lot of us were originally hoping for when we first heard about the Clone Wars series.

I think Lucas basically called the three seasons a "pilot show", and that it will be extended to a full-blown series. Don´t think that meant re-doing the existing ones.

In a way, I´m a bit pissed about this. If they´re gonna go with a period from the movies instead of outside them, why couldn´t they picked the GCW instead? We already have enough animated material on the CW, with the existing series and the two films, dozens of battles and events added up. We still only got four battles in the OT put together (one off-screen, I might add), and I want more. Even it up, dammit!

A little on who might be in the live TV series. EPISODE III AND minor TV SERIES SPOILERS: click

I´ll take this with a grain of salt. A large one.

Yeah right. And monkeys might fly out of my butt.

Good. I didn't want her to be murdered like that anyway.

Not that I'm automatically believing this story. I'd like it if she was a character.

Good grief, you people are jaded. Given Aayla's popularity as a fan character, it makes perfect sense that she'd show up at least intermittently in a series set between ROTS and ANH if she's still around.

She's frickin' hot, BTW.

I want a series revolving around Boba Fett as he carves through the galaxy killing Jedi, crooks, and shmucks who went to the wrong loan shark. I want to see him go Rambo and vaporize people and stab people and carbonite people and rip people to shreds with his fucking hands! YEAH!

BobaXAayla pr0n is the way to go!

Edit: Wait, he would be just about 15 yo....

Ok then, just Boba Fett/Aayla fighting team-up!

Editedit: Brainstorm! Young rogue + mysterious girl/woman + mecha = Instant Anime-hit!!!1111

Ship this off to Japan and watch the money fly into Lucasfilm´s pockets.

Am I the only person that isn't that interested in the Fett's beyond the movies? Oh well? Just never got their huge appeal.

I kind of agree. I liked Fett in the movies. I also liked the fact that he died and we never really saw too much of him. Ever since the EU brought him back, he's been wanked over to a ridiculous degree and has become one of the more embarrassing SW characters in my opinion. He's just a huge fanwhore magnet.

This says it all ...
