According to Disney insider Honor Hunter on the Blue Sky Disney<\/em><\/a> blog, the success of Marvel’s Agents Of SHIELD<\/em><\/a> on Disney’s ABC network is causing the execs to re-examine the plans for a live action Star Wars<\/em> TV series<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Originally posited as Star Wars: Underworld<\/em><\/a> and described by now mysteriously vanished Lucasfilm princeling Rick McCallum as “Deadwood<\/em> in space” and “The Empire Strikes Back<\/em> on steroids”, Blue Sky Disney theorises “being as it would be on ABC it is unlikely that Disney would want it to be that dark.”<\/p>\n

Adding that unlike Underworld<\/em>, which was pitched neatly between the prequel and original trilogies, the jury is still out on when this one will be set.<\/p>\n

“The narratives being discussed right now go back between making a series out of the stories they originally got written, which will be set at the dawn of the Empire,” writes Blue Sky Disney<\/em>, “or creating a whole new set of adventures after the destruction of the Galactic Empire set at the dawn of the New Republic.”<\/p>\n

Star Wars: Episode VII<\/em> is due in cinemas Summer 2015. You can buy Star Wars: The Complete Saga<\/em> for £57.99 on Blu-ray<\/a> from Amazon<\/a>.co.uk.<\/strong><\/p>\n
