Personally, I like Star Wars brickfilms as long as they're done well. Assuming your animation can allow a story to flow without large, pointless battle scenes, then I say go for it.

However, if you're trying to make a series, am original idea would probably be preferred. The Star Wars universe has been done, time and again. Either make different characters that only make reference to the Star Wars theme, or just come up with something totally different; I'll always prefer new ideas to old ones, but I won't refuse to watch a Star Wars brickfilm as long as it's done well.

Well, i do plan for there to be some new characters during the time of the new republic, but as it seems i got more clones and droids unfortunately so maybe just to tick people off less i might need to stick with the old republic. My animation is smooth enough to where your not flipping out but it isn't godly smooth. So yeah..

Sure this is a hobby, something people do because they enjoy doing it. Does it matter that some people aren't into Star Wars Brickfilms. There are lots of people who like lots of different things, which is good. If it is something that you want to do, something that you will enjoy doing. Then do it. You can't please all of the people all of the time.

People won't get mad if you go away from the Republic/Clone Wars timeline, in fact, they would probably rather a different era since that one is over-flowing with animations already. Using either the Old, Old Republic (Which would get very pricey, very quickly.) or the New Republic (The much cheaper option.) would not only get you away from the Clone Wars, but it would allow you to use little-known characters and events to fuel your story. It would be easier to get away from the typical Droids/Clones, as well as all the canon, and non-canon stories already there. (Both Clone Wars TV-shows, Episodes 2 and 3, and the multitude of books.) Your own story would then mesh better with the established events, (A thing that I like) and allow others a glimpse into the Extended Universe.

I like Star Wars films, but only if they're well made, and have a good plot. (Both of which are unfortunately very rare.) Having lots of Lego sets and huge armies doesn't make a film good. If it has a good plot, and good animation, then there is no need for a gigantic battle scene. (Take Smeagol's Clone Trooper Down, for example.)

What would be neat is if the series concentrated on your original characters, then every once in a while brought in a more known person. (Han, Leia, Luke, Ect...) And while the plot may be influenced by the current events, (Whatever they may be) it was always an indirect influence, and only mentioned it to add more depth and scale to the story. And I have to agree with Mickey, the "Star Wars Scrolling Text" should be thrown out.

One suggestion that still hasn't been implemented is focusing on non-Jedi, non-government aspects of the Star Wars Universe.  Bounty hunters, smugglers, pirates, spice runners.  Plenty of other aspects to cover beyond just lightsaber duels and troopers shooter at each other.
