The thing is, is that I both want and don't want the TV show to happen.

First, I don't want it to happen because it's sandwiched between III and IV and that is boring. What I REALLY want to see is a type of "Band of Brothers" mini-TV series where Luke is now the head of the Jedi council and is the leader of the up and coming Jedi Knights. That would kick so much ass I would have a very sore ass.

But, secondly, I don't want it to happen because, well there is the chance that it might suck. I mean (with my TV idea), I'm totally happy with seeing the end of ROTJ being the end. What happens after that really isn't important. The story is over, why risk making it suck? All the planned TV show is doing is opening up the gap between III and IV for more inconsistancies.

But there is the chance that it would be awesome (my idea, not this "Boba Fett Show" that Lucas is planning). But since my idea is never going to happen, I don't care about the TV show. Minor characters be damned. I don't care about them; I don't even know who they are. Why do I want to watch a show devoted to them? I don't read the books. I don't play the games. I just don't care.

And so, the TV show holds no special hope in my heart. My Star Wars is the OT. It focus on the original main cast and that is it. Everything else is fan-boy fluff.
