The ''Star Wars'' live-action television series is a project that has been in varying stages of development at Lucasfilm since 2005, when George Lucas announced plans for a television series set between the prequel trilogy and the original trilogy of ''Star Wars''.〔 ("Thank the Maker: George Lucas" ) Star Wars.com, April 2005.〕 Unlike the films, the story does not center on the Skywalker saga,〔〔 AP. ("Fans await return of ''Star Wars''" ) CNN.com, March 2008.〕 but instead explores criminal and political power struggles in the aftermath of the fall of the Republic.〔〔 In 2011, Lucas stated that development has been delayed awaiting advances in technology and reduction in costs〔 ("Star Wars 3D with George Lucas & Tom Fitzgerald" ) Attack of the Show.com, May 2011.〕 and Rick McCallum, the ''Star Wars'' and ''Red Tails'' producer then involved with the project, indicated that it would be at least another "three or four years".〔 Following The Walt Disney Company's acquisition of Lucasfilm, ABC Studios' president Paul Lee stated in early 2013 that the project was being reviewed for development.〔 In early 2014, it was reported that casting was underway for unspecified live-action ''Star Wars'' projects.〔 ==Plot== With the exception that the series will not star main characters from the films, statements by George Lucas and Rick McCallum about the plot remained vague and apparently changeable〔 Berton, Justin. ("A great day for a parade -- even if those Stormtrooper outfits make you boil inside" ) SFGate.com, January 2007.〕〔 Keck, William. ("He has a need for speed" ) USA Today.com, April 2007.〕〔 () Total Film Magazine, May 2008, p. 138.〕〔 Gilchrist, Todd. ("Star Wars Goes Live on the Small Screen" ) IGN.com, October 2005.〕 until Lucas' 2011 revelation that 50 scripts had been completed.〔 In an interview shortly after, McCallum revealed the series revolves around "the Empire slowly building up its power base around the galaxy" and a "group of underground bosses" who live on Coruscant and control drugs and prostitution.〔 Johnston, Raymond. ("Star Wars TV series may shoot in Prague" ) Ceska Pozice.cz, June 2011.〕 ''Entertainment Weekly'' expanded on this, stating the series tells "the story of rival families struggling over the control of the seedy underside of the ''Star Wars'' universe and the people who live within the subterranean level and air shafts of the Empire’s urban-sprawl-covered home planet."〔 The article's statement that "a bounty hunter may be the main character" recalls a reference by McCallum to bounty hunters〔 Elliott, Sean. ("Exclusive Interview: STAR WARS PRODUCER RICK MCCALLUM TALKS 3D & TV SERIES" ) iFMagazine.com, May 2006.〕 and circumstances surrounding the cancellation of a book by Karen Traviss,〔 Anders, Charlie Jane. ("Is It Too Late To Save The Imperial Commandos?" ) Io9.com, February 2010.〕 which lend credence to the notion that Boba Fett is one of the characters to be featured. McCallum cited ''Deadwood'' as an important inspiration, and that Ronald D. Moore (creator of the 2004 reboot of ''Battlestar Galactica'') was revealed to be one of the writers who contributed scripts under a non-disclosure agreement. McCallum said about the show that it is complex, dark and adult,〔 Collura, Scott. ("Is This the Star Wars Live-Action Show's Title?" ) IGN.com, January 2012.〕 and called it the most "daring material we have ever done."〔 ("Rick McCallum - Rick McCallum: Star Wars TV Show Still Coming" ) IGN.com, May 2012.〕 "I think, thematically, in terms of characters and what they go through, it will be... if we can ever get it together and George really wants to pursue it, it'll be the most awesome part of the whole franchise. It's ''Empire'' on steroids."〔 Weintraub, Steve.
