Hey Battlefrontians, unfotunately there has been no news or developments on Battlefront 3 yet, so I thought I would post some other Star Wars news. As it turns out, there will be a new live action Star Wars series with the working title, “Star Wars: Underworld”. This in my humbled opinion is pretty sweet!
The storyline will take place between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope and according to IO9.com they have almost 50 scripts written!
Producer and longtime George Lucas collaborator Rick McCallum dropped some key hints about the long-planned live-action Star Wars TV show – the one that supposedly has 50 scripts already written and is just waiting for the costs of visual effects to drop before moving forward. McCallum revealed the show’s working title is Star Wars: Underworld, it is indeed set between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope, that “it’s about that period when the Empire is trying to take things [over]“, and that the show’s primary focus will be on the criminal underbelly of the Star Wars universe. McCallum elaborates:
“It’s underneath what’s going on. It’s the criminals and the gangs. The guys who are running Wall Street, basically. The guys who are running the United States.”

I’d love to hear everyone’s opinion on the Live Action series. Some of my buddies absolutley love the idea and some hate it.
Star Wars: Underworld - Live Action Series,
SWEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTTT!!!!!!
I hope it includes some awesome (non-canon-destroying) mando action! Traviss Fandalorians FTW!!
And a possible Galen Marek! YEs!
space space want to go to space
SPAAAAACCCCEEEEE! Sooo big gotta see it all! Ooooh space cops! Stormtroopers! Star wars ships! *space core explodes from happiness*
Sorry for the long post and ramble- I was happy
NOBODY’S GOING TO SPACE, MATE!
Anyways, as long as it can compare to the graphics of episode 1 (Well, hopefully not with the puppet Yoda) I’d love to watch it! I hope we can count on seeing it soon.
Yep, we’re in space.
My biggest problem is consistency.
I hate when after 2 months of a show, it takes more than a week inbetween shows, and the gap continues to grow.
Like said above, I want the shownto keep going, but not with crappy graphics.
cooool
I’ve heard about the rumor of the live action show for quite a while and hopefully this is the real deal. My biggest concern is a factor that hurts a lot of sci-fi shows today…the graphics. Hopefully Lucas makes sure that they take enough time to come out with a truly well made and satisfying show.
As long as we get to see the Empire mercilessly taking over the galaxy, I say “Bring it”.
But criminals and gangs? Ooh….Renegade Squadron?
The show does sound cool but I have heard that the funding is what is holding it back right know…so what will come out first Star Wars Underworld or SWBF3?
Finally, a new Starwars series that isn’t developed specifically to reintroduce Starwars to children! Can’t wait!
This is some potentially big Star Wars news too: http://movies.ign.com/articles/121/1216696p1.html
Interesting to see another Star Wars TV show. I definitely hope this is better than the Clone Wars Series though. I’d also like to see a post-ep. 6 show.
Should be interesting, my only concern is the characters/actors ie Ewan McGregor as Obi Wan, Young Luke and Leia. Then again, they may not use any of the characters from the movies which may make the series a jumbled mess.
Well from what I’m understanding, those characters are going to have little to no role in the series. Obi-Wan and the Skywalkers had almost no contact with the galaxy’s underworld. The Solos, however, may be included due to Han’s smuggler background. If we’re lucky, we’ll see Harrison Ford playing Han Solo, should the need arise.
that seems unlikely, concidering that he is abit too old for the role, but if the part was casted right, id love to see some of that in it.
Im also hoping for some Boba Fett/Mando action, i wont get my hopes up for Fett but i can hope…
