Star Wars Live-Action TV Series?

While rumours of a new Star Wars project have been hanging around for a while now, we now have new details - to start with, it has a working title of Star Wars: Underworld.

According to producer Rick McCallum, it's set between Revenge of the Sith, and A New Hope, and focuses on the 'seamy underbelly of crime on Coruscant during the rise of the Galactic Empire.'

LucasFilm's budget is $5 million - for each episode. But apparently it's not enough, says McCallum.
"The show incorporates several digitally animated characters, and so the plan is to wait a couple of years and watch the changes in animation technology and delivery methods — Lucas hasn’t decided on a cable network or digital distribution — and then make the show 'if we’re still alive.'"

While that may not inspire much confidence, it could be worth the wait - the series is to be 'bigger than any of the prequels were,' and 'complex,' 'dark,' and 'adult.'

Now we just need that live-action Harry Potter inspired TV show The Aurors to be made, and we'll be set.
