there is a lot you could do with 5 seasons of no jedi ... remember Star Wars (the first one they made) ? there was a war going on between terrorists (i mean rebels) and the government ... er empire ... just that conflict, never mind all the potential stories on all the varried planets in the star wars universe, should provide plenty of material

While I think it would great if SciFi got this show I doubt they could afford it and I just can't see a major network not wanting to jump on this. No matter what many people thought of the three prequel movies, they still made a truckload of money worldwide. Even a mediocre Star Wars show could draw millions of people to a network.

If the show is done well, I think it could be quite interesting to watch, but only if they don't focus on young Luke and Leia. Granted, there will be aspects of their life that would need to be expanded, but I'm more interesting in learning how the remaining Jedi are killed, how Yoda ends up on Daghoba (sp?), how the Emperor consolidates his power, etc.

This is what will happen:

Fox will quickly buy it, start to air it, not know how to market it, frequently move it around to different time slots on different days of the week, cancel it after 6 episodes, and then release a statement saying that the show didn't have a big enough appeal to the attract an audience.

Hey, they did it many times before. They'll do it again.

It's cool, I had a sudden flash of Frodo taking the one lightsaber to the pit of the Death Star, it'd probably be better than the prequel trilogy!

I did mean 'Revenge of the Sith'. . .I just may have blotted it out of my memory. I made the correction. Thanks for the good eyes.

Don't you mean between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope.
You said Lord of the Sith, I mean you gotta be geek enough to pick up on that if you're reporting on Star Wars

So this means two things to me.

1. They are going to screw up continuity and have random jedi still alive and working against the newly formed empire.

2. There will be no jedi whatsoever so then honestly, what the hell are you going to show for 5 seasons?

I am so glad I gave up on star wars after suffering through Ep 1. I own DVD copies of the original trilogy (not the special editions) that is all the star wars I need.
