starwarsbat Live Action Star Wars TV Series CastingThough it’s getting pretty good ratings on Cartoon Network, Clone Wars left a lot of Star Wars fans scarred. So scarred in fact that we’d almost forgotten there’s another, potentially better Star Wars television project in Lucas’s fan-pipe.

The live action Star Wars television series is still happening, and MTV says casting is already underway. Actress Rose Byrne let the info slip while junketing for her new movie Knowing. Says Byrne, “A lot of my friends have been auditioning for it.”

Last we heard the show will focus on minor characters in the Star Wars universe. Don’t expect to see Luke Skywalker or Han Solo for instance. It happens in the time period between Episode III and Episode IV, when the Empire is at its strongest and the Jedi are extinct. Because of that, don’t expect to see any Jedi, or for that matter lightsabers on screen either.

Anybody else having a Battle for Endor flashback?
