I saw that the other day, and thought it was old news? Didn't he start talking about it just after RoTS came out?
Supposed to be a transition between that movie and ANH. Which is a shame, since I'd really love to see a Lando Calrissian TV show.

There's actually some work going on now though. Lucas is evidently meeting with a pool of writers next week to choose writers for the first season. They hope to start filming in 2009, and seem to be looking at a 13 episode season. All this comes from the Force.net's TV series info page. http://www.theforce.net/swtv/

Lucas should be forcibly prevented from ever doing Star Wars work again.
Han shot first, darn it.

The nice thing about this, though, is hopefully it won't erase previous canon (like the special editions) but simply explore the Star Wars universe more. And he won't be writing it himself. He's got great ideas, but his writing (at least in the most recent films) could have used some more polish.

Personally I think that they if they did an Old Republic series it might work (and especially "work" in a financial sense if they ever pull their heads out of their behinds and release KOTOR3) but I think there's just a lot about "Lucas Star Wars" right now that still leaves a bad taste in people's mouths. Han shoots first. Prequel trilogy. Jar Jar.
I don't think for a minute that people are tired of the mythos, but the films really took a beating.
