Star Wars Live Action TV Show

Lucasfilms Producer Rick McCallum has started talking about the live action Star Wars TV show, tentatively named Star Wars: Underground. It’s a look at the underside of the Star Wars galaxy.

He confirmed earlier reports that the action will take place in the 20-year gap between the end of “Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith” and the beginning of “Episode IV: A New Hope.”

Set in the early years of the fledgling rebellion against the Galactic Empire the series will focus on the bounty hunters, criminals and gangs in the seamy side of the “Star Wars” universe. Confirming what George Lucas told reporters last year, McCallum revealed that producers already have 50 “incredible” one-hour scripts waiting to be filmed. He described them as “dark, complex and adult.”

Sounds interesting and hopefully it will be better than the prequels.
