without reading any other comments - I think this is a stupid idea - Luke's life was supposed to be a boring ordinary existence in a desert world until R2D2 and C3P0 come along and turn his world upside down.
I like the idea of Star Wars TV shows if they're done as well as Battlestar Galactica or Stargate. but if its just about Luke as a kid its going to be extremely revisionist.
2nd, stargate/battlestar galactica i think are done very well. If the tvshow starts from right after the 6th movie and went from there i think that would be good.
thats what i was thinking, the timing would be better if they did it later... Why cant they do soemthing with Thrawn and the Sun Crusher and everything from the books, cmooon!
I love Thrawn and the Sun Crusher! Jedi Academy..such good stuff.
