While it is hard to imagine Star Wars without the cast of characters we know and love, it is possible. Look at Knights of the Old Republic. It has some of the more memorable characters, and certainly one of the best stories in Star Wars that I've ever seen. Yes, its a game, but the story it tells is more engrossing and memorable than Ep 1&2.
It is prrof that it can be done, and done well.
They key is the writers. I couldn't give 2 farts about special effects. If the characters are 2-D, and flat, and the situations are watered down drek, then the show will fail. If the relationships are real, and the people are real and the situations good Star Wars fare, it will do well. IMHO.
