Last I heard, it was more than a rumor. Lucas had announced definite plans for two series. One live action, and one animated. But I haven't heard anything more than that.
IMDB has a listing for it, but no information other than it's been announced.

Thing is if Lucas is involved then they'll all be about super-powered angst ridden almost-characters that we have no real reason to give a damn about.
If he'd actually hand the reins over to someone who could write then we could just possibly get a decent series out of a "Knights of the Old Republic" setting. Lots of Jedi, some bad guys, a decent plot arc over the course of a season.
I didn't like the prequels - can you tell?

-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

I was under the impression that Lucas was finished with Star Wars and that any further movies or series would be done by others. He already has zero involvement with the Expanded Universe.
I thought I had also heard that a TV series would take place between Episodes III and IV.

I can see it now... The Adventures of Young Luke Skywalker! Watch as he goes to Tosche Station to pick up some power converters, Marvel as he whines about going to the Imperial Academy. Feel his angst when his pet Bantha gets run over by a speeder...

The Young Han Solo Chronicles: See Han Solo get his trademark scar, watch Han learn that Wookies don't like to lose, marvel as Han takes on mysterious passengers, no questions asked.

Watch Han do the Kessel run in a unit of distance. Find out where Han get's his waist-coats from and in the season finale - is there something deeper between Chewbacca and Han than friendship!?!

I've created a monstrosity...Although the Young Han Solo chronicles might not be such a bad idea. If it follows, even roughly, the storyline set out by the books it should be pretty interesting. (not the Han/Chewie Wookiee lovin)

Yeah, the 'post' sceene where Han's picking off all the hairs might be a bit gross...

I preferred the Brian Daley Han Solo trilogy to the other one that came out a few years ago (set after ROTJ).
I would much rather see a Star Wars series focus on the Knights of the Old Republic, as mentioned above, instead of set between Episodes III and IV as Lucas announced.
We nit-pick Star Trek to death over continuity and you know any series set close to the timeframe of the movies will suffer the same fate.
Since we haven't a consensus how long a generation is, then setting a Star Wars series in the early part of that "thousand generation" timespan could easily avoid any conflicts in continuity. Even if it was just 1000 years before Episode 1 would be a blessing for those continuity sensitive ones out there.
