The plan, as we originally were told, was that Lucas would merely "supervise" the CG Clone Wars, and Henry Gilroy would actually create it. The great thing about that report was that Gilroy went on record as saying that he personally asked for copies of all Clone Wars-related EU, so as to keep continuity between all works. Now, I'm sure he'll still play a large role in the show, but with Lucas more involved, I'm unsure what to think of it.

Now the live-action series? The good thing is that there is very little EU at this point set during the time period of the live-action series (though there will be I'm sure by the time the show comes out). But hopefully, EU writers will be given specific facts about the show (ex. The specific year(s) it would be set in) so that they can sort of stay away from it as they did the Clone Wars for a long time. But, if any continuity issues do come up, I'm sure the people at Lucasfilm will come up with some good retcons as always. But as much as I'm afraid of any continuity issues, I am very pleased to see Lucas playing around in TV again. I agree with battlewars when I say that the Young Indy series was quite enjoyable and an interesting expansion on the Indy series. Being the geek that I am, I will watch the show religiously, geek out over it, buy all merchendise, etc. Why? Because I simply enjoy the experience of it all. And no matter the quality, I will savor the fact that we will get to journey back to the GFFA once again. And I'm sure that this will give future EU writers fertile ground for great storytelling in their novels, comics, and video games.

I shall be looking forward to it all.

I also wonder if this is a secret stunt to get more people aware of the Holiday special, and to keep from scaring off the fans they show a rather harmless clip so it peaks everyone's curiosity. Some sort of ruse to show that it is obvious that whatever George Lucas touches does NOT turn to gold as some people are so apt to believe.


That is precisely what I hope the clip achieves. If it were to spark a more widespread interest in the holiday special... well... you never know what would come of that! Maybe it would even cause Lucas to come clean about all of this! Maybe even... a DVD release?
