You brought up an interesting point, Kaal-Jhyy. Just like Clone Wars, and all of the EU works, the live-action series will mainly be overseen by Lucas, but not controlled like the PT has. Lucas SAYS that he will bring in a group of talented writers, directors, etc, to work on the show, while he will only write the story at first, and from then on, only "keep an eye" on everything.

That's why I have some hope in this show. As Lucas involvement decreases, the probability of a quality product increases.
