There is the regular TV show and there is also a cartoon taking place during the clone wars.
It won't look like the one that already aired though but more like pixar films. From what I have read about.

As long as he is alive he will be working on Star Wars in some fashion. From what I have read though he said he will direct some of the first year episodes and then others will handle the rest.

I distinctly recall a scene in Phantom Menace where a character leaped over a large aquatic predator. That should have clued us all in right there.

I'm still not sold on the idea that the movie franchise is over. Too many conflicting statements over the years, including Lucas himself saying there was more story to tell after Return and that he would probably do it in all CGI. Plus, his respect for the Zahn novels which if you've read them, you'll see their influence on the cloning process, aliens, and their world in the new episodes.
As for the series, we saw what Lucas did with young Vader. How can anyone think young Luke will be any good?

Just how many stories are there to tell about a whiney farm boy fixing moisture vaporators?
Turning Luke into a boy adventurer would absolutely destroy his character arc in4-7.... but then that never stopped lucas before, did it.

I think a young Leia would be way more interesting having grown up with the rebelion and stuff.

I think that described the whole movie. Or is that what you meant?
I agree with Cake. A young Leia would be more interesting. There'd be the possibility of some intrigue.

Young Leia would be interesting? Watching a spoiled high society princess grow up is interesting?
I think I can do without Star Wars 90210.

How about following the 3 founders of the rebellion?

The perfect area for a TV series is after RotJ.
You've got the Rebellion fresh off a win and the Imperials back tracking. What happens when the guy in charge gets knocked off his perch? A fight for power.
Thus, the Rebellion sealed it's doom when they beat the Empire.
So many stories could be done about certain characters' fates, how the remaining Imperials keep up the fight, how elements of the Rebellion broke away to stake claims for power, etc, etc, etc.

Being that she was a spy and stuff, I don't see it being Paris Hilton in space. She was tough, mouthy and stuff. She took an active role in the polotics of stuff. Never afraid to grab a blaster and join the fight. She didn't just run around and spend money. At least, that's my impression of her.

You won't see any young luke or leia from what I have read beyond maybe him being in mos eisly and you see him in the background or a rebel meeting on Alderaan and Leia is in the background.
The biggest character you are going to see in the beginning is a possible story of Boba Fett starting out bounty hunting. It has been said that the first season is going to revolve around bounty hunters, IG-88, Bossk, and others not on the star destroyer taking the contract from Vader in IV. There was talk of seeing Chewbaca in slavery or fighting before he is taken but that seems to have shifted to the cartoon.

I don't need to see Leia, Han, Lando(maybe a little) or even Luke anymore. If anything is going to take place after Jedi I want it to be so far in the future that they are all dead.
I think it would be cool to put it far in the future and have Luke in the Obi-Wan role. Have him teaching students who would probably be Han and Leias kids although I don't need that. You could have Chewbacca there too since wookies live a few hundred years and have Chewie or Luke sacrafice themselves for a new characters so some sort of connection could be made there.

Read the Timothy Zahn novels. It's a trilogy set right after RotJ and was authorized as the "official continuation of the SW story" so sayeth Lucas.
New heros, new villains, new weapons, a new badass Luke who becomes a teacher, Hand and Leia's kids, and Grand Admiral Thrawn.
Can I get an amen for Grand Admiral Thrawn?
