Now that Andor has finished its two-season run to universal acclaim, fans have been thinking about what's next for Star Wars TV shows. Granted, we've got plenty to look forward to, such as an upcoming Ahsoka season 2, and several Star Wars movies in development, but there's still hope — however small — that Disney looks to a project shelved a long time ago, from a concept far, far away.

The Lucasfilm of 2005 was a different beast compared to where we are now in 2025. Soon after the debut of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, creator George Lucas announced at an event that the franchise's first live-action foray into TV would be Underworld. Set between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope, this series was meant to delve into a Star Wars world that didn't revolve around the Skywalkers. Instead, it would have been based in the cityscape of Coruscant, initially focusing on the criminal gangs, before delving into untold stories of known characters.
