New Star Wars Cartoon And Live Action Series?!?

Lucasfilm.com are hiring people for the animated "Star Wars" TV shows and possibly the live action series. Lucasfilm's Jim Ward confirmed that a "Star Wars" TV series is on the way in the near future and that it likely to come out in 2006. Kevin Smith may be attached to the projects as an executive producer.

Sources indicate that the company have already started making room for the offices that are to handle the show. Mark Hamill may be asked to star/voice in a few of these shows. Some concur that he could be a mentor for the "new" Jedi Knights that will appear in the series.

Kevin and George are apparently keen on using new storylines. A twist to the show may appear through some flashback sequences via Holocron technology? It is expected that these shows will take place after "Return of the Jedi". If that is the case it makes you wonder if Mara Jade or even Kyle Katarn will appear in a few episodes?
