If you grew up with Star Wars as I did, and if the magic hasn't diminished in the intervening 30 years, then you probably know that creator George Lucas has been working for some time on a TV series which takes place between Episode II and Episode III. Of course, it will be about the Clone Wars which began at the end of Episode II and ended in Episode III with the rise of the Empire.
But now the Sci Fi Channel's Sci Fi Wire brings news that Lucas is also working on another Star Wars TV series:
Lucas is also working on a live-action series for television and said that he expects to be writing it about a month from now. The series will be set in the Star Wars universe between Episode III and Episode IV, and will feature minor characters from the films.
"It's like Episode IV in that the Emperor and Darth Vader are heard about—people talk about them—but you never see them because it doesn't take place where they actually are. There are storm troopers and all that, but there are no Jedis. It's different, but I think it's very exciting because I get to explore a part of that universe that I haven't been able to explore."
I foresee some time in front of the television with the kids, provided they don't mess it up with unnecessary profanity and sexual innuendo (like they do most shows, nowadays).
