Last night the local Fox affiliate showed The Empire Strikes Back. Afterwards they ran a minute-long Episode III:Revenge of the Sith trailor. Now, don't laugh at this, but the very end of the trailor when they show Darth Vader, I swear I almost cried. I'm seriously.

Anyway, there are a few interesting things out there that are Star Wars related. Disclaimer: Extreme geek alert! Via John Little this Detroit Free Press article:

Lucas said he is working to develop a live-action TV series based on Star Wars. The series likely wouldn't be produced for at least a year, and the main characters in the movies probably won't be the focus, he said.

The series would be set between the yet-to-be released "Revenge of the Sith" movie and the original "Star Wars" movie, the fourth episode in the sequence....

Once again, Lucas said he did not plan to produce another Star Wars trilogy after the latest movie comes out....

Lucas told fans he planned to develop another film in his second-most popular series of movies -- the "Indiana Jones" trilogy. He didn't give a time frame for when another "Indiana Jones" film might hit theaters, but "It's definitely in the works," Lucas said.

At one session, Lucas, relaxed and in jeans and a charcoal sweater, said people should take away what they can from the “Star Wars” movies, “but don’t let it take over your lives.”

He said the movies suggest “to get on with your lives, take that challenge, to leave your uncle’s moisture farm (as Luke Skywalker did), to go out in the world and change it to save the universe."
