Fans are compiling some great theories on the future of Star Wars on television. I (Josh) think we may be on to something with this one, and thought sharing it with you would be fun as we listen and learn what may be ahead for Star Wars post-Episode III.

The recent posts on the possibility of a Star Wars TV series have got us thinking. This is just informed speculation at best. But I think the key to determining what George Lucas will do is to pay more attention to what he's done in the past than what he's publicly saying. For years after ROTJ, he said he had no intention of doing the prequels, and then in the mid '90s reversed his course and went full speed ahead. He did the Indiana Jones out of order with the second movie a prequel to the first one, then the third film in the series, then a TV series produced and directed by Rick McCallum and now "one more for the road" so to speak.

Is this what they have planned for Star Wars? obviously the OT video release this fall with some work done to match up the effects with the prequels, release of Episode III next summer, then maybe a TV series with Mark Hamill playing a "Yoda" Jedi Master role produced and directed by Rick McCallum, further Cartoon Network Star Wars series, theatrical re-release of all six movies with further work done to match them up (Episode I also needs to have the Yoda scenes updated), then a box set re-release of the final versions on HD, and finally some years from now "one more for the road" Episode VII to finally wrap everything up. Harrison Ford would likely even come back if it were only for one more.

As the contacts at Lucasfilm have been hinting, there's a lot more coming in the Star Wars universe after Episode III is done. Can you imagine a Star Wars TV series (on Fox naturally) maybe at 8 or 9 PM on Sunday nights - the old X-Files time slot. This is just our opinion, but it certainly could be a scenario they are consider.

If you've got a great theory or have heard some rumblings, too - send us a note!
