George Lucas confirmed he is working on a live-action television series spinoff of the Star Wars Movie Franchise. It won't include any of the major characters from the movies - no Luke Skywalker and no Darth Vader.
From the interview with Lucas:
"The Skywalkers aren't in it, and it's about minor characters," Lucas said in an interview. "It has nothing to do with Luke Skywalker or Darth Vader or any of those people. It's completely different. But it's a good idea, and it's going to be a lot of fun to do."
