This probably belongs in the "off topic section, but I want to see how much steam I can generate here.

For those of us who have seen "band of brothers" or "the pacific", wouldn't it be cool if Lucasfilm did a 10 part miniseries like those two except with the clone wars and from the perspective of a clone unit like the 501st? It could totally work. Part 1 being training on kamino, parts 2-3 being pre revenge of the sith. part 4 being rots and order 66, part 5 being like replacements in band of brothers where the depleted clone unit integrates non-clone storm troopers and where they go from there as to which of the original trilogy/rogue one films gets covered is up to the story boards. I feel like The series could end around empire with the clones retiring or maybe even at endor where they see everything they built (litteraly) blow up in front of them.

I feel like this would be a great story to tell, lots of hard themes and finally, we could get the gritty, dark clone wars that we all see in our heads. I love the cartoon network series. I watched it when it premiered. However, this "band of brothers" thing has been in the back of my mind and I think now would be a great time for it. lemme know what you think guys.

Lord knows I'd watch the ever-loving **** out of that. And why constrict it to ten episodes? Do like fifty. I'd watch them all with glee.

Also, side note, towards the end of its run, TCW got better. The Order 66 twist fell on its face, but everything else was great.

Didn't they do this in the cartoon?

Rogue One the TV series?

Part of the reason I like Rebels is because it's a glance into the Galactic Civil War. The ideal series I'd love to see is following the command crew of an outer-rim stationed Victory Star Destroyer, post ROTJ face off against a crowd of unethical rebels. As well, the bridge crew has to deal with the ethical quandries of justifying the Empire's actions. Rim-ward recruits clash with sons from wealthy inner core families who can't go home, etx.

It'll never happen because the Empire can't be portrayed as protagonists, but that's a show I'd like to see.

I think the Aftermath trilogy would translate greatly into series. I also think Thrawn should receive his own dedicated series, greatly focusing on his mighty strategies and space battles (One of my favourite aspects of Star Wars)

Not rogue one, but a miniseries following clone troopers from kamino to endor. the mention of rogue one was an idea of seeing something like that from a clone's perspective. And as for the empire being seen as protagonists, read some of the new books and watch the battlefront 2 celebration panel. I think Lucasfilm has different ideas about imperial protagonists. Its not about the empire, but the troopers in the armor. These guys made the empire. They killed the jedi. and the miniseries would showcase the things they did and how they deal with said things.

Would be great to see a Rogue Squadron miniseries taking place in the last year of the War from Endor to Jakku.

Rogue Squadron would do well for a miniseries (or a normal series), but now that you mention it, either a film or a BBC (my exact reference here is Sherlock 's habit of three short movies per season) series about Wraith Squadron would kick obscene amounts of ***.

Paul Johnson (creator of the awesome TIE Fighter animated short ) is thinking through the possibility of doing full-length episodes, voiced with characters.

Where Lucasfilm won't do things, other people are stepping in with some truly high-quality stuff!

As long as they're nonprofit. Otherwise, there will be another Axanar fiasco.

Its bothering me. Is it not 'mini series'?

Nah, we combine the words in America as a time saving initiative.
