Two years prior to Disney's purchase of Lucasfilm, director George Lucas was planning a big-budget Star Wars series. It was called Star Wars: Underworld - "Another World" or simply "Underground". Unfortunately, such an ambitious project was not destined to come true, but what it could become can be judged by the footage that suddenly appeared on the Web.
Based on the description, the series took place between the events of Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope. The place is the planet Coruscant, which was the center of the galaxy. Underworld was supposed to show her underworld, syndicate orders and life at the lowest levels. According to the plot, the series could be associated with the game "Star Wars 1313", which also came out like that.
According to the source, Star Wars: Underworld could have included 100 episodes lasting about an hour. Moreover, each of them should not have been inferior in quality to feature films. Such ambitious plans resulted in an unaffordable production budget of $ 50-60 million for individual series, and this was the main reason for the closure of the project. For comparison, episodes
