Star Wars Underworld was announced in 2005 , with no more movies or live-action shows on the horizon.

The series was meant to delve into a Star Wars world that hadn't been explored before.

Rick McCallum , a producer at Lucasfilm until his retirement in 2012 , recalled how far Underworld came in development.

Up to 60 scripts were written — enough for four seasons .

Only surviving test footage of Underworld was uncovered, showcasing five minutes of a scene set in Coruscant .

It's nothing much and doesn't add anything to the overall franchise, but it's a unique look into what could have been.

Lucasfilm, and its current CEO, Kathleen Kennedy , that story takes precedence before anything is greenlit.
