New Star Wars TV Series Confirmed

merauder writes to tell us BBC News is reporting that the new Star Wars TV series is set to run at least 100 episodes. From the article: "The series will be set between episodes three and four of the film saga. It would cover the 20 years in the life of Luke Skywalker growing up that remains a mystery to most film-goers. McCallum said there would be 'a whole bunch of new characters' and the series would be 'much more dramatic and darker.'"

Actually, the movie implies that Luke has met Obi-Wan. After all, Luke quickly recognizes the name "Kenobi" when he hears it, and knows where his house is. Luke is just unaware of the connection between Kenobi and his father and all that.

I don't mean to imply that this makes the show's concept any better. Just trying to keep our facts straight.

For all you nay sayers

not to say that lucas won't decide to do everything himself, but i'm hopeful

There was a good Star Wars TV series

It's called Clone Wars and was animated by Genndy Tartovsky. Mace Windu and Yoda were badass. Even Anakin was cool. Yeah, here's hoping Lucas will give control to someone as talented as Tartovsky.

The only thing the new Battlestar Galactica has done is made me wish every last character would suffer a horrible, horrible, slow, agonizing death. All of them. oO;
