Oh brother. New Star Wars TV series commisioned for 100 eps.

And guess what? It covers the 20 years Luke grew up on Tatooine.

I'm just about at the point where I think Lucas should be shot in the neck with a knock-out dart, dropped off onto a deserted island, and forgotten.

People will still watch it, at least the first 10-20 episodes.

So in other words: hardly any sweet, sweet Jedi action.

Lucas you fool!!!!!!

Done and done! (claps hands together several times in that "a job well done" sort of way)

[Torgo]

I was under the impression that the series' wouldn't follow any of the main characters, aside from a few mentions or appearances here or there. There goes that theory, I guess.

That's what Lucas originally said.

I'm up for this one, for the first 10 eps anyways. A limited run series (looks to be about the length of most HBO shows) will ensure that there's proper closure and pacing in the show (unlike, say, Lost).

Let's just hope it turns out good.

It's not going to turn out good. What the hell is wrong with you people and this optimistic attitude? Star Wars is dead, just like Star Trek. Let it die, like it should.
