I can honestly say that I'm NOT looking forward to EITHER TV series in anyway. I feel that Star Wars has become bigger & more successful than he ever imagined or hoped. He doesn't know how to deal with the success & keep the quality high, so he's been subconsciously trying to destroy his creation over the years. I really feel that ROTS put the lid on the coffin, and the new series will be the final nails. Star Wars as a watchable medium is dead. The books & comics have consistantly been of superior quality, and more interesting. Let's leave the future of SW to the real writers, and forget about watching something new. If we want to watch something of real quality, we have the O-OT (well, at least SW & TESB, anyway). I'm a HUGE fan of the EU as well, and I LOVE the novels & comics. I'll stick with them when I want extra info. As far as the TV series are concerned, I can go to the bathroom & shit out something of better quality than Lucas can now (and did so just this morning).
