George Lucas announced on Wednesday he isn't ready to stop continuing the Star Wars series - kind of.

Lucas announced plans for an animated series, "Clone Wars" which will be ready to air next year, however he does not have a network lined up for the series. The series is set when the Republic is fighting a civil war against separatists led by Count Dooku.

"It basically has all the main characters" such as Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi, Lucas said, but the stars who played them in the movies won't voice them for the TV show.

"There's nobody famous," Lucas told The Associated Press in a telephone interview.

The series will be a continuation of the "Clone Wars" series that aired on Cartoon Network from 2003-2005. The new series will use computer animation.
