Via io9.com:

Last week, we learned that Disney wasn’t making a live-action Star Wars television series anytime soon. That’s a shame, because if there is one benefit to sweeping away the old Expanded Universe, it’s that there is now so much of the new galaxy to explore, and TV would be a perfect way to do it. Here are five Star Wars show ideas Disney should be working on already.

Okay, that’s a joke, but the idea really isn’t. Star Wars spends a lot of time with heroes who, when they’re dealing with laws, are dealing with them on a galactic scale. Is there a uniform penal code for every Republic? What if you break the law on Naboo but it wasn’t illegal on your home planet? Or how about just the cogs in the wheel trying to keep people from thieving and murdering other people? Coruscant’s got a vibrant underbelly that would be just perfect for this. Plus, Law & Order’s been franchised out all over the world; why not a new galaxy?
