Just so long as any Star Wars TV series avoids the pit dug by the EU. Here're the elements I think would be necessary for a successful spin-off:

 

1) Don't worry about keeping continuity with anything other than the movies. I'm talking an anthology series with many different writers and directors all giving their own take on the universe, whether their take be sci-fi-driven, or fantasy-driven. You'll get some reekers, but you'll probably get as many great ones.

 

2) Avoid the main characters. Let Luke, Leia, and Han get their fairy-tale happily-ever-after, and move on to some new blood. The galaxy is a huge place, find some new and compelling characters.

 

3) Jump into multiple different timeframes. Show the ancient SW universe as well as the one seen in the movies, and the one that might have resulted from the events seen in the movies.

 

4) Not every storyline needs to be focussed around spectical. Star Wars is as much about inner truths as it is about flashy battles. Film Noir style would work well for some story archs, so not every one would have to be expensive and effects-heavy.

 

Oh, and...

 

5) Don't just hire "award winning" authors to pen episodes. Buy the concept, not the name. Have fans write as well as big-name authors; run contests for best scripts and then make them.

 

Long and short of it: Infinities on TV.
