BBCnews is carrying this update on the upcoming Star Wars TV series. They're supposedly planning for a 100 episode run. That should be easy if it doesn't suck, but even if it does if Lucas is bankrolling it it may not matter. I'm a little worried about the "much more dramatic and darker" comment... part of what I liked about the early films and didn't like about the later ones was the humor. It's fine to be dramatic, but to me to get a really big emotional commitment to drama, you first have to make me laugh. Lifting people up means they have farther to fall, that sort of thing.

They've got until 2008 to sort it all out, so we'll see.
