Deadbolt again is weighing in with a nice article by Tom Burns about his hopes and wishes, as well has the things he doesn’t want to see, in the upcoming Live-Action Series. Here’s an excerpt:

“It’s always been a little odd that Star Wars has never had its own TV show. Let’s be honest - it’s not like George Lucas is shy about licensing his favorite franchise to just about any media or medium that can fork over enough Imperial credits. Every day, hordes of children stroll through the malls of America, wearing their Emperor Palpatine underpants, swinging purple Mace Windu lightsabers, and taking hits off their Burned-Up Anakin asthma inhalers. There are Star Wars comic books, video games, novels, graphic novels, cartoon series, webisodes - why not a live-action TV series? It’s not like it’s without precedent. There were the made-for-TV Ewok movies (”Starcruiser, starcruiser, crash, crash!“) and the Star Wars TV Christmas Special (there’s a reason it’s one of the most bootlegged videos in fandom history - if you watch closely, you can actually see Harrison Ford’s soul die on camera.) Plus it would really, really cheese off the Star Trekkers, who have always used their gigantic catalog of syndicated episodes to passive aggressively assert their superiority over the motley six-episode-only Star Warriors.”
