My curiousity about all these Star Wars TV shows and another blockbuster franchise film (Indy IV) in the works is that I thought Lucas said that part of the reason he decided to do the PT was to make a lot of money to self-finance all kinds of experimental
"arthouse" films. I read this to mean getting away from franchise TV spinoffs and summer blockbuster movies (ala INdy IV--didn't he say he thought the age of the feature film/theatrical release was over some time last year), and get back to his roots with truly experimental film (like the original THX). I guess either I was wrong or he changed his mind.
