MTV News has reported that a long rumored live-action Star Wars series is finally in the casting process. The show will take place between Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars. It will follow the Rebel Alliance as it slowly gains strength against the Empire. There will be Stormtroopers, but no Jedi or Darth Vader.
I believe Jimmy Smits is still available.
