Lucas Confirms Two Star Wars TV Series

At Star Wars Celebration III, director George Lucas enthralled fans by confirming that he is working on two STAR WARS-themed television series one a CG animated CLONE WARS.

As for the other series Lucas said, "We're also working on a spin-off series with some characters who have appeared before that will be a live-action series. We're probably not going to start that for about a year. Like on THE YOUNG INDIANA JONES CHRONICLES, we want to write all the stories for the entire first season all at once. I'm going to get it started, and hire the show runners and all of that, then I'll probably step away." The spin-off series would be set in between EPISODE III and IV.

As for other TV series, Lucas said that upon the performance of the first two STAR WARS series, he would be willing to visits other times and characters in the STAR WARS universe in other series. In addition, Lucas mentioned the idea of revisiting his WILLOW characters in a TV series as well.
