I'm also worried about the series. The rise of the empire as the time frame? About bounty hunters? It seems like it won't be "Star Wars" without jedi. Of course, we can't expect too many familar faces, also, except maybe a guest apperance by Boba Fett or some other like character. So far it seems to be like it will be a generic sci-fi series that just happens to take place in the Star Wars universe. Then there is the fact that Lucas hasn't had good luck with TV, such as the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles. But I really really hope I'm wrong. I'd love a good Star Wars TV show. I'm just sceptical about it being any good.
