I'm not sure how this series can be uniquely "Star Wars." The rise of the empire time period means no jedi, force, etc. I'm afraid it will become just another Sci-Fi series that just happens to have some familar Star Wars aliens in it. Change the title from "Star Wars" to some generic Sci-Fi type title, and no one will ever notice or suspect that there is a tie-in. I'm not expecting too much out of this. But maybe I'll be pleasantly suprised.
