MSN reports (via the AP) that George Lucas is moving forward with his plan for a live action television series based on the Star Wars universe.  

George has confirmed that it will not involve any of the ‘main characters’ focusing more on the development and lives of the minor players.  

On a personal note, I hope the writers take a cue from the masses and base their stories on some of the expanded universe books out there.  I’d love to see the X-wing series of books integrated into the show, for example.
