The point of the 30's serial cut though was to keep the movie episodes as seperated episodes.

A television miniseries cut could take all six films and mix them into one resource that can be edited into episodes that don't necessarily follow the sequence of events as shown in the films.

TPM might, for example sake form two episodes and bits of ROTS might be held back to the later episodes to maintain the surprise that television episodes depicting the events of ESB might cover.

The saga as a whole might be spread over 11 or 12 episodes (like Season One of Buffy or NuGalactica).

This sounds like a LOT of fun.

My first thought would be to make them approx. 22 minutes a peace, like the Saturday morning adventure shows from back in the day. Then each episode could be contructed around one action sequence.

STAR WARS: Episode 3: "Annie's Big Race!"

STAR WARS: Episode 6: "Mystery on Kamino!"

STAR WARS: Episode 12: "Luke vs. The Ice Monster!"

STAR WARS: Episdode 15: "Betrayal in the Clouds!"

(the exclamation points are a must! :) )
