They could pull a Young Indy thing and skip around. That's kinda harsh though unless you skip in order, so to speak. Y'know, start with some Republic stories, do some Obiwan/Anakin stories, do some fall of the republic/early empire stories, post New Hope stories, then some post RotJ stories.

They should do Knights of the Old Republic, a la BioWare--that gives them free reign to do anything they want without screwing up the timeline (after all, you have thousands of years to play with), and it lets them have tons of jedi all over the place. A lot of people might find it weird that there's no Empire or anything, but I think a good show would get them over that pretty quick.

I'll go with Fell on this one.  KoTOR would give them lots of room to create plots and themes without fouling anything up, and more importantly, it would let them have new, consistent characters who acted in Super-Jedi times.  I don't think jumping around would give them the stability they needed.  Young Indiana at least let them keep a consistent character.

The Tales of the Jedi comic is still one of my favorite EU SW stories ever. They could definately do a great on-going Old Republic series with all original characters.
I'd love to see something Clone Wars or Rebellion era a la Band of Brothers where any of the "mains" would be expendable. But that maybe getting a bit too away from the serial feel.
