I'd rather see what Han Solo was getting up to before we met him.

Yes please. How does Lucas not understand which was the coolest character he created???? I mean the franchise was known for zipping through space, shooting at other space ships, and lightsaber battles. How much of that was in Luke's childhood? NONE!

Jar-Jar, right?

Luke's childhood? That will be GREAT!

Think of all the contradictory plot points Lucas can pull out of his ass!

Well, they could productively spend one episode of the 100 having Luke kill Jar-Jar.

Exactly my thought, tommyrot. It's been pretty firmly established that he drained water condensers and shot space rodents, WE DON'T NEED 100 EPISODES OF THAT, THANK YOU.

Except for all those fantastic adventures that he no longer remembers because, like C3PO, he had his memory erased. Mark my words, that's what Lucas'll pull. That's some potent monkey crack they be smoking at the Skywalker Ranch.

Now Lucas can reassure us that the womprats always shot first. Yay.

people will watch. people will always watch.

I've got some alternative Star Wars comics where Luke died on Hoth and Lea had to go to Dagobah to train as a Jedi. I love them.

I think even her childhood would be 10 times more interesting than Luke's.

OK, here's some episode ideas:

• In between bounty-hunting jobs, Greedo moonlites as a piano teacher. His last pupil is Luke.
• Wackiness ensues when Luke accidentally ends up on a date with each of Jabba's daughters at the same time.
• Luke and Sebulba - the love that dare not speak its name.
• Jawas steal Luke's bicycle.
• While playing baseball, Luke hits the ball over the fence and into the yard of the Sand People that live next door.

A series about Han Solo would have action, adventure, capers, beautiful dames, bounty hunters and pirates and space cowboys...

Sort of like Firefly with Wookiee, come to think of it.
