I think a Star Wars tv show could be cool if George Lucas doesn't direct or write the episodes.
They said they wanna make it gritty and more adult oriented- like the new BSG or Firefly. Kind of stupid not to have Vader on the show. I'm sure James Earl Jones could be had, or someone could just impersonate him. It isn't that hard of a voice to mimic.
If Vader was the one of the main characters, it could be about refugee jedi, the beginnings of the rebellion, and the empire's ever tightening grip. Set just a few years before ANH, so all that stupid prequel technology is gone and the more ragtag rebellion ships and the imperial fleet as seen in the original trilogy dominate the show. As well as Stormtroopers, not Clone troopers.
Great thing about a TV show is that the budget will be lower, so less of a special effects budget. That's a good thing knowing what Lucasfilm does with special effects budgets. They waste it on making stupid looking aliens. The aliens in the original trilogy were so much cooler and realistic looking.
I'm much more excited for the Space Balls Animated series starting soon on G4.
