Interesting idea. You’ve gotten me thinking about the sort of show I’d like to see…

I imagine a show about a group of biologists/archaeologists who went to an alien world to study a long dead civilization, and were eventually stranded there. The show focuses on them and their families, who have been living among the ruins of this once-vast civilization for untold generations, fending off attacks by strange yet intelligent creatures from neighboring planets in the system, and attempting to find a way back to the Old Republic.

One of the big mysteries of the show is how long they’ve been stranded, since they were stranded centuries before the Empire or New Republic. The tone is very much a Flash Gordon serial with a greater emphasis on alien science and the magic of the Force. Everything remains used-universe, such as the remaining supplies of the humans, but the alien worlds contain vast, Akira-esque spaces and strange technology.
