Lucas has never said anything about not wanting to Star Trek-ize SW. Or something.
It looks like Kevin Smith will write and/or direct one of the series, which would be awesome. And I wouldn't be too surprised if they disregard most of the EU (which sucks for the most part anyhow), so there may be no Mara Jade. All for the better, I say.
And if Rick Berman has anything to do with Star Wars I will personally hunt down George Lucas and take back every nice thing I ever said about him. Rick Berman is SATAN!!
I hope they have Mara Jade , I dont think Luke could have lasted all those years in celebacy without falling to the dark side.
I would not look forward too seeing Kyle katarn especially in that KFC outfit he wares.
Actually Lucas did say in a interview that he didnt want the it to turn into startrek were is so many movies and tv series that it deminishes the original work that he did. I think he also wants to keep control over it and not end up like Gene Roddenberry were he dies and some young hot shot cashes in and takes his creation and try to make it into his own erasing Genes work desregarding his values turning into a sexy action flick instead of the fun entertaining enlightening show it once was,It was Micheal Piller and Ron D Moore who kept DS9 and VOY atleast together as a Roddenberry spirited series ,But once they went the other way you can see how B & B didnt know what the hell they were doing making a prequeil but ignoring star trek history and continuity and getting desperate trying to get viewers back with sexual inuendos ,Borg and half assed brainless plots that have little thought put into it like the TCW or the Xindi crap , That alien nazi thing besides being cliche was really weak , The show didnt really become what it was meant to be untill someone bumped berman off and became the new Executive Producer and even at that Berman still doesnt want to go away like he thinks his presence actually helps the show.
So for that Reason Lucas is cautious so he wont allowing anything if he doesnt want it or like it , I am sure once he is gone he doesnt want sombody else taking his baby and wants to pesserve his legacy.
