The art, at least, would have been great.

That is super awesome!  Let's be honest, Cat, with Timm involved, it would have been a great show. :D  Man, I'm sad we didn't get to see that, especially with the original characters.  I'd have KILLED to watch the weekly adventures of Luke Skywalker.

To be fair, the show would have been about the Phantom Menace.  Since he didn't know anything about those characters he used the ones he was familiar with for the audition.

That is some awesome art and would have loved to see a Timm style Star Wars show based on original trilogy.

This piece is my fave

Yeah, I think I would line up to watch pretty much anything that was done Timm-Style.

Ohh!  Yeah, that's an important detail.  Anything about the Prequels is already at a huge disadvantage, even if there is some talent behind it.

Sigh... Imagine if there could have been an original trilogy animated show. It would have been much better than the prequel garbage. Although, I'm sure someone would find a way to screw even that up somehow like putting Jar Jar Binks in it or something.  :banghead:
