Default Cancelled 'Star Wars: Underworld' TV Series

Cancelled 'Star Wars: Underworld' TV Series Would Have Featured Young Versions Of Han, Chewie & Lando

"After "Revenge Of The Sith" was released in 2005, plans started to come together for a live-action "Star Wars" series that would bridge the gap between the 70s original and the 00s prequels, said to be called "Star Wars: Underworld." Writers were hired, including "Battlestar Galactica"'s Ronald D. Moore and "Camelot"'s Louise Fox, and reportedly as many as fifty scripts were completed, but plans were put on hold due to the prohibitive expense of the show, and the show's status is now unclear after the announcement of the new movies (and animated series "Star Wars: Rebels," which covers the same time period as "Underworld" would have. "

Apparently there was a plan for a Origins TV Series about Han Solo, Lando and Chewbacca, but it was scratched due to cost. Being that Disney has purchased the rights I wonder if they'll do the Marvel stratagem and revive it if the movie does well (formality)!

Disney's could put it back on the radar for ABC between episode 7 & 8 too. Like Agents of Shield. They've been trying to use their movies to build interest in their TV channels, as the Movie industry is allot healthy than the TV industry right now.
