Lucas referred to Clone Wars as a pilot. He confirmed that the animated series will continue as a 3D animated half hour version and will be a regular TV series.
Also, he is working on a live action series that spins off from the films that doesn't incude the main characters but is about characters that we already know.
He plans to begin filming in a year. He wants to get all the scripts written for the first season all at once and then go out and shoot them.
Lucas will get it started, hire all the showrunners and then back away from it.
Following this format, there will be multiple directors, multiple writers....

I like that. It avoids continuity errors. And, you're not going to get Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher (don't want to on the latter) to do a TV show, and anyone else would suck.
The galaxy is a big place, there's certainly alot of room for great stories. Knights of the Old Republic is the best story with the best characters outside of the original trilogy yet has very few ties to the characters and story of the OT.

The Spoof reports:
Director George Lucas says that he "couldn't care less" if moviegoers don't like his last and final installment of the StarWars franchise, 'Revenge of the Sith'. He spoke last Thursday at the ShoWest convention at Paris/Las Vegas.
"In fact," Lucas went on, "I hate it myself. 'Revenge of the Sith' is the biggest piece of crap I have ever done."
"It's so hard to be objective about your own work," said Lucas. "One morning I got out of bed, and grabbed one of the old screenplays and read it while having my oatmeal. 'God! This stuff is really awful' I remember thinking. 'Obi-Wan Kenobi'? Where in the hell did that come from?
"But I've kept quiet up until now because this whole thing, painful as it has been, has been quite lucrative, as you know. I learned early on that you have to play towards your audience-give 'em what they want. They wanted crap and I've been rolling it out and rolling in it for nearly 30 years now. The filthy lucre anesthetized me. Now they're clamoring for TV shows. It's brilliant. Half-hour long little turds of pure gold. I'm gonna be the richest man on the planet."

I'm sure his original plan was The Further Adventures of Luke, or at least something with Mark Hamill, maybe even Carrie Fisher if she's bored between self-loathing books...
But then he heard that the fans were liking the idea of that and scrapped it in favour of a show about obscure Prequel Trilogy characters because he knew the fans wouldn't be so keen.
Lucas slaps his ho's.

yeah, don't get me wrong, I want the building of the Jedi Order as my tv show. Who cares what happens between 3 and 4 unless it involves Vader and such. Ridiculous.

Yeah...as much as I liked Episode 2....I still always wondered what Anakin meant by that focking statement...Smeag's.
I mean....
what did Anakin do?
Poor sand down the croch of his bloody pants or something!!!
I guess this was Lucas's way to tie StarWars into Spider-Man 3 I guess. It's supposedly reported that SandMan is going to be one of the villians in it. So maybe Spider 3 will be....
Titled....
Spiderman vs. Sandman vs. Darth Vader!
DARTH VADER: Don't even go there Sand Man!
