Does anyone know what will the TV series be about? Any news?
Well, Lucas has said that it will take place between 3 and 4. It will feature characters we have already seen in the prequels, but were not main characters (actually, Lucas was vague about this, so it might still be up in the air).
Considering what happened in Episode 3, it was mentioned that there were Jedi spread out all over the galaxy. Anakin and the clones turned on that recall signal to bring all the remaining Jedi to Coruscant so they can wipe them out. Yoda and Obi-Wan took care of the signal, so some of the Jedi most definitely survived. Their survival (and subsequent extermination) is probably what the series will be about.
It might be pretty interesting....if Lucas doesn't fuck it up. He has said that it will be character-driven. Considering his "skills" at writing, I don't have much faith already. Lucas said he will write and oversee the first season of the show....sort of get it going. Then he's going to hand it off to someone else. And that will probably be the end of his direct involvement with Star Wars.
