Star Wars 1313 could go on to inspire aspects of, say, a Boba Fett movie (we know one was supposedly in development as a standalone movie with director Josh Trank before he dropped out), or aspects of the Star Wars: Underworld television scripts could be used for inspiration for other mediums.įor those of you who don't know about Star Wars 1313, it was an M-rated video game that LucasArts was working on before Disney purchased the company. We have heard many rumors of Lucasfilm possibly developing a television series for Netflix, and Star Wars: Underworld was originally being planned as a premium cable-type of show. We definitely want to.īy saying they definitely want to develop those things further, Kennedy could mean a variety of things. And it's something we're spending a lot of time looking at, pouring through, discussing, and we may very well develop those things further. So our attitude is, we don't want to throw any of that stuff away. I interjected that "The concept art for that looked amazing!" I wasn't expecting her to bring up Star Wars 1313, a highly anticipated video game that was seemingly canceled after the Disney purchase. And there was 1313 the game, where there was. No, interestingly enough, thats an area we've spent a lot of time, reading through the material that he developed is something we very much would like to explore. So what's to happen to those hundred or so Star Wars: Underworld scripts sitting on a shelf in Lucasfilm headquarters? Are they gone? Here is how Lucasfilm head Kathleen Kennedy responded: Lucas compared the series to Episode IV, saying that it would be "funny and there's action." But instead of being based on the action-adventure films of the 1930s, it would be based more on the film noir films from the 1940s and in a sense be more talky and be filled with more "personal dramas." Described as being "much darker, grittier" and "more character-based," it was compared by prequels producer Rick McCallum to The Godfather, who also described it as " Deadwood in space" and " Empire on steroids". Anyway, the Star Wars: Underworld TV series was announced at 2005's Celebration III, and was to be set in the Coruscant underworld during the timespan between Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope.
