I think it could actually be pretty good if done right. I mean, you have good, evil, suspense, political intrigue, etc. The struggle of the remaining Jedi against the Empire, and one by one they fall to Vader & Co. The rise of the Rebellion. Construction of the original Death Star. Young Han Solo. The plotlines and situations are many. That said, I would hate to see it turn into Star Wars O.C. (speaking of which, Lucas has a guest appearance on the OC coming up. Ugh.). You know, teenage Luke Skywalker angst, with him fighting his uncle to turn down whatever passes for teen music in that era. Princess Leia bucking the hip crowd at Alderaan High and her regal parents with her goth phase. If they stick to Star Wars and don't inject too much Desperate Housewives into it, it should be okay. Now that I think about it, without that stuff in this day and age, it's liable to fail miserably. Maybe the Sci-Fi channel will get it instead of some dopey major network. One can always hope...

I & II were lacking were more than made up for by the special effects. It could go either way, but I'm skeptical. As long as it isn't on Fox it might be OK.
