Will we start seeing things like STAR WARS: DEEP SPACE 9, STAR WARS: VOYAGER or STAR WARS: THE NEXT GENERATION?
I'm hoping for Son of Star Wars, Return of the Star Wars, and Star Wars vs. the Martians.
We already had the Clone Wars cartoon series, which was pretty cool
Two words: Jedi Babies!!!
Son of the Teenage Baby Star Wars

How about Jason vs. Jedi?
Predator vs. Jedi?
Yoda vs. Muppet Babies! Er, younglings!
I thought Lucas wanted to create a 7-9.
God help me if I'm right.
I didn't see anyone else mention it yet... but there is a live action Star Wars tv show in the works. You did know about that, right? If Lucas doesn't touch it too much it might be good.
The live action TV show is supposed to take place between Episode III and the original Star Wars. That gives about 16 years of story to cover and should be fun if done right. The stories will supposedly involve characters new to the saga with cameos from time to time from some familiar faces.
To me, the jedi and sith are the fun part of Star Wars. This time frame means that there will be only two sith (Vader and The Emporer) and four jedi (Luke, Obi Wan, Yoda and Leia) available for stories. I assume most of the show will just be plain old drama or....Star Wars: SVU.
Blechhh.
There is also an extended clone wars cartoon series in the works...I think that will be fun.
*Yawn* I'm over it. Sorry, nothing worth contributing....
Ha! If the storyline for the TV series is between eps III and IV, does that mean we will be subjected to pre-teen Han Solo and Luke and Leia?
Also, the whole Force thing, whilst being crucial to most of the Star Wars saga, is by no means the only way to go [though I agree that if they don't use it they are being a little silly]
I mean, I've read some pretty fun and great Star Wars novels [don't laugh, there are some damn good ones out there] which had great storylines and not once mentioned the force in them.
There must be a level of mysticism attached to the whole Star Wars franchise, but the Force is somewhat redundant to the stories in this Star Wars 'mythology' with an incredible amount of non-force characters who have their own interesting side stories.
But yes, a Star Wars series needs some sort of Force in it [it would be pretty silly otherwise] I just thought it would be worth mentioning that the use of the Force is by no means one which is important to the general storyline.
Maybe they make an new Holiday Special.
Something like "X-Mas Star Wars Holiday Special 2006", or something else Lucas will be again ashamed off...
Return of the Son of the Curse of the Legend of Star Wars?
So long as we don't have "Luke and Leia, The Forgotten Romance."
Don't you guys remember the two Ewok tv-movies?

Remember?? I bought the double dvd of the two Ewok movies a couple of months ago!! Say what you will about them, I find them both incredibly disturbing and interesting at the same time.
Ewoks talking in the second 'Ewoks' film, despite the fact that they didn't in the first one? It's craziness all round really...
Childhood favourites can sometimes come back and bite you in the ass I guess... damn Ewoks, I'm kinda glad they all died at the end of Return of the Jedi...
The geek in me would like to see Han Solo as imperial officer cadet. And some of the every day life under the Empire.
The cynic in me would like to see Yoda cussing on how he's stuck in some damned swamp at 900 years old, rather than retiring in some sort of Space Florida condo complex.

This in fact reminds me of something:

I have one question. As I recall, when the original movie came out, Leia was something like 12 years older than Luke. Suddenly they're twins? How the Hell does that work? And don't give me any crap about differences in the length of the planetary years....
I've posted this before, but it is my personal opinion that when Star Wars was made, the thought of others had not really formed. There's quite a few inconsistencies when you jump from Ep IV to Ep V. I think IV was a standalone movie, with some open ended stuff (like Vader flying off instead of actually dying) "just in case;" when Lucas saw how popular and well received it was, he must have started working on ways to profit on that popularity.
I agree that there are alot of inconsistancies. I also think that the original was meant to be a stand alone with sequels and prequels being afterthoughts. However, the whole saga is fiction.
I have no problem suspending disbelief and enjoying them for what they are. People believed War of the Worlds for God's sake...why would it be so hard to accept a little inconsistency in what is probably the greatest sci-fi saga ever filmed.
May the force be with you. :-)

Many argue that Star Wars is not really sci-fi, at least in the strict sense (like Asimov is sci-fi, for example). But we've had that discussion here, before, too.

Dean, you didn't.....I was thinking of getting them for my nephew. He's nearly 2 1/2, and would enjoy them. I was in I think 3rd and 4th grade when these first aired. I admit it - I like Wicket at lot (Warwick's personality really shines through the thick layers of his costume)and Ewoks in general, but the whole 'Ewoks save the Universe' in ROTJ was just too *ugh*. As for the Ewok tv-movies, I haven't seen them in 20 years, so I can't really comment, but I remember being really annoyed by Wilfred Brimley in the 2nd one.
The first Star Wars novel mentioned something called 'The Journal (or Journey) of the Whills'. Granted that I'm relying on a 25 year old memory here, but I'm fairly certain that was the name. Is that a reference to the 'whole story' or is it something else. I've never bothered investigating or Googling it but this seemed like a good time and palce to bring it up.
