Have to give the haters something to hate or they'll implode.
The EU still exists even if this show comes out and doesn't mesh with it. It reminds me of the arguments and crying in about how the new Star Trek movie destroyed all the other series.
It still happened. You still watched them all, what difference does it make if something comes along and replaces it?

It just shows what a Batman nerd I am (and how very, very apathetic I am about Star Wars) that when I read the title of this thread, I seriously thought it was referring to a continuation of "Batman Beyond". When I see, "ROTJ", my first thought is "Return of the Joker". 
He'd probably be insulted if they didn't ask him, he was willing to do some of the games I believe.
I wonder if Carrie might do it? She did the commentaries, some of the Robot Chicken sketches... not impossible. Billy Dee Williams as well.
I love the Clone Wars (who'd of guessed
) but it would be cool to see some of the classic stuff in CGI. B-Wings, A-Wings all underused in the movies.Maybe they could even do Shadows as a flashback?
Now that you mention, adapting the Thrawn trilogy, or even the Dark Empire books into the series might be pretty interesting actually.
Nobody gives him full credit that I am aware of. Nor does anybody give Lucas no credit. It is simply an established fact that Lucas tends to take credit, either directly or indirectly, for the hard work of others.
At least directors like Cameron, or Whedon go out of their way to point out that their works wouldn't be as great as they are without the contribution of others. You would never hear Lucas say such a thing. He honestly believes every single thing SW related his his "vision".
Your opinions might be taken a bit more seriously if you didn't trash other completely unrelated and much beloved movies just to make them seem more valid.
Great news!!! THIS is what I've REALLY been waiting for. I've waded into some of the post-ROTJ EU and, although I've enjoyed it (mostly in audiobook format), it will be great to see new OT characters/stories that take place after ROTJ. I wonder what, if anything, from the existing EU they might utilize? If nothing else, I certainly hope they utilize characters like Thrawn and especially Mara Jade. I'd also like to see Luke form a "New Jedi Order" in the series as well (Yuuzhan Vong optional).

I heard it was going to be the comedy animated series they were talking about, is that true?
I was under the impression that the comedy series is something different. What we're talking about here is, I believe, a genuine post-ROTJ animated (current Clone Wars-style) series.
Even if they offered no other details at the present time, you would think that the geniuses at LucasFilm would at least clear this mattter up, as it is making a lot of fans nervous.
In the last couple weeks, a new animation series was announced by Lucasfilm. It will be a "comedy" series, helmed by Seth Green, and based on Hasbro's Galactic Heroes line of toys (which Lucas dubbed "Squishies" when he saw them).
When Sansweet indicated we'd see more Luke/Han/Leia in "the new animation" - that's the one he was referencing. Nobody knows if it'll be sketch based, like Robot Chicken, or full-length episode stories, but I'd guess the former.
I don't think that post-ROTJ continuity fans have much to worry about.

I actually love the look of those toys, they even have ships and dioramas at that scale. I'd collect them if my house wasn't already full of too many collectibles. A series based on that line might even be kinda cute.
And I keep forgetting to ask: who's Lindley?
On further reflection, perhaps it isn't the same as "Squishies."

Time will tell...

So, you may resume your panic.
Time will tell...I think people have forgotten that there are a FEW series coming.
1. There is the live action series that bridges the two trilogies
2. This "comedy" series Seth Green will be helming
3. The CGI cartoon aimed at very small children(which may or may not be the same as #2)
4. The post ROTJ CGI series
Lucas is grabbing every one of those teets and squeezing for all he's worth!!!

Maybe he is making up for lost time? We had pretty much no new Star Wars movies and/or TV from 1983-1999.
The AICN article linked in the OP (and the IGN article it uses as a source) indicate that #2 and #4 are the same thing.
Yeah, because one animated series makes hundreds of books and comics disappear.
When TEH CANON is gone what do we have left to live for in this world???????
It's not "horrible and hated" or it wouldn't be making so much money.
