Very enlightening info. I'm looking forward to seeing what Lucasfilm has in mind. Yes, there's a good reason why Hasbro signed with Lucasfilm through 2018. There's more to come.

Sansweet said something vague about the show being ready by the "end of the decade." So, we might could see it by 2009 or 2010...and the beat goes on...

I hope a Network picks it up.

I'm just saying, Chewie better be a featured character.

According to official reports, the Star Wars TV series will take place in the 19 years between Revenge of The Sith & A New Hope. It will focus on minor characters who were not prominently featured in the films, with possible cameo appearances by major characters like Obi-Wan Kenobi, Boba Fett, Yoda, etc... So, it is not a rumor.


Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Spoiler In Revenge of the Sith, Palpatine, the leader of the Galactic Republic, declared himself Emperor, and transformed the Republic into the Galactic Empire. In the process, he ordered the execution of Order 66, in which all members of the clone army of the Republic turned on their Jedi leaders and killed them. In a speech he delivered to the senate, however, he reported that there were remaining Jedi, and that these survivors would be "hunted down and defeated." Referred to as "the dark times" by Obi-Wan Kenobi in A New Hope, nineteen years will pass in this series, which is set between the years of 19 BBY (Before the Battle of Yavin) and 0 BBY. It is during this period that the newly formed Galactic Empire will rise to ultimate power throughout the galaxy. It is during this time period that the first Death Star will be constructed, albeit with many problems along the way. However, most of the stories will be told from the perspective of minor characters from the Star Wars galaxy. From Star Wars creator George Lucas' own words, we may see the mysterious bounty hunter Boba Fett play a significant role in the series, with Daniel Logan reprising his role from Attack of the Clones. According to Lucas, several of the major characters from the films may have small appearances as well. Regardless, the issues involved in this particular era in the Star Wars history, it is said, will be quite clear, though the actual people involved may not necessarily be seen. Over the course of the show, the Rebel Alliance, founded by Senator Mon Mothma and Senator Bail Organa in Revenge of the Sith, will gradually form into a full resistance against an Empire that holds the entire galaxy under its grip. The alliance, armed with its loyalist intentions to restore the Old Republic, will ultimately win its first battle against the Empire, setting up the events for A New Hope.

One scenario I'd like to see involves the early days of X-Wing Rogue Squadron.

Wonder if this will be a Fox network special or picked up by Sci-Fi?
