More Star Wars TV details from George Lucas

George Lucas reveals some more details about the upcoming Star Wars TV shows, both sound very cool...

The animated Clone Wars TV Show -
"It's a lot of battle stuff, and it's obviously the Clone Wars, so it's a war picture." 
"We're going to do a hundred episodes. I think we're on No. 40 right now. We'll probably end up with 50 to 60 episodes before we start to put it on the air."

The live actions Star Wars TV show -
"It's set between movie Episodes III and IV, when the Empire has taken over. It's like Episode IV in that the Emperor and Darth Vader are heard about -- people talk about them -- but you never see them because it doesn't take place where they actually are. There are stormtroopers and all that, but there are no Jedi."
"We're going to do a hundred of them, too."
