Okay, the new Series is going to be hitting our screens some time in 2008, And all we / I really know is here and here

So GL is going to concentrate on the minor or less significant characters that made little or no impact on the movie saga. But does that mean it will only be minor characters or is GL going to throw in a few big characters as a bonus?

Boba Fett could arguably be considered a minor character. Although his Impact was quite major, he only spoke about 5 lines. but I want to see how he got on in the wake of his fathers demise, possibly see him go to Mandalore and meet Jaster Mereel and Montross.

And who doesn't want to see what Old Ben got up to whilst all alone on Tatooine, was he constantly watching over the young Luke? Did he frequent the bars in and around Mos Eisley or simply sit at home with a pet of some origin?

How Leia was raised on Alderaan? What was Alderaan like? maybe seeing it and some of it's inhabitants would put a completely different complexion on the scenes of ANH if we could relate a bit to the planet that gets destroyed

Or even how Han Solo got into smuggling, what made him get involved with the likes of Jabba the Hutt, Is it just for the coin? And how much trouble did he have with the Trade Fed and Empire?

Which Raises another point, With all of the EU books out there such as 'Tales from the ........' series and the Han Solo trilogy, is GL going to consult all of these to try to keep some continuity or is he going to snub these and create his own EU and a million plot holes, leaving thousands of disgruntled fans in his wake?

I hope GL really thinks about what he's doing because I wouldn't like to see another TPM style backlash come his way!

Regardless of how he does it, I know I'll tune in for every Episode!

So what are your thoughts and hopes for the programmes?
