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.”

Check out a great interview video from IGN.com as well (via IO9.com.
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.

Battlefront 3 news! Spark said they are going to E3 and said to contact your “favorite publisher” who is going to E3. That pracically means there will atleast be an announcement by E3.
Harrison Ford?
Sorry, but he is WAY too old for this part, Han Solo would actually be younger then he was in The New Hope” (of course).
So to add on more years to Ford but take away more years then Solo would be impossible.
Characters I would like to see are: Captain Rex from the Clone Wars, Commander Cody, Boba Fett (a must considering he is a bounty hunter), and any other bounty hunters that were included in “The Empire Strikes back”
there not using any main people, you may hear of them but they won’t appear. This show also won’t be made until they can make it at less then 20 mil an episode.
it’s sounds great
is a good new
I heard Lucas decided to no longer make movies as of TODAY, I not sure if this is correct or includes tv shows but this could harm any idea of a good ep. 6 sequel…
Underworld sounds alright…. Not that excited but still sorta cool, I would rather find out about the rebels but…
Bad news is this series is still about 5 years away because each episodes are too expensive at this current time.
come on, they better have a lot of clone trooper fighting then il watch it lol
Well, I’m not sure about McCallum’s leftist shot at businessmen, but a live action Star Wars show sounds really cool! And y’know, George might just have to cap it all off with a live action movie trilogy… VII, VIII, and IX here we come!
I hope it will be awesome and I agree it would be awesome to have Starkiller and more of Boba Fett.
I don’t think including Starkiller would be a very good idea. This thread seems to be forgetting that the whole series is going to revolve around the underworld of the galaxy, which Starkiller had little to do with. Plus, I think I’d rather him stick to being a video game character solely because of the fact that with him being so ambiguous in the video games, it keeps me wondering. It’s almost as if I like it better without the closure, and I’m sure most people do, and including him in the series would probably shine to much light on who he is.
actually starkiller had to do alot between ep. 3 and 4. for instance, He started the rebellion, captured vader, and they are not done with his story like what happened to kota, vader, juno, himself, and his dark clone. so i think it would be a great idea to bring Galen Marek in the series.
