   Having said that, George Lucas would be probably be happy to take less money   
   then other shows just to get his on the air. Just like he did with the   
   original "Star Wars" movie, he could easily charge less for the show, but   
   keep the merchandise rights and make bigger money from the toys, etc. ... if   
   he had to. Of course, the networks will probably be all out-bidding each   
   other to get "Star Wars" on their network.
