To hear Rick McCallum, tell him, "Starwell warfare: the underworld" would have been a huge change in the tone of the high-caliber franchise-TV, prestige, dealing with all kinds of complicated ideas. Knowing that 60 scripts (probably more seasons) have been written and revised, means there is another saga of war on the starves there somewhere.

"A phenomenal group of talent," McCallum said during his performance by young indie chroniclers. (McCallum also produced "Young Indiana Onesons Chronicles" for Lucas.) "And these were dark. These were not, you know, they were sexy, they were violent, they were just absolutely gorgeous, beautiful, complicated, challenging, I think it would blow the whole universe of "Starwell War". And Disney definitely would not have offered Georgeorje to buy this.

If that sounds ambitious, it was clear. While McCalum called for a series of "one of the biggest disappointments of our lives", he admitted he was too big on the ground to be able to make TV at the time. "The problem was, every episode was bigger than the films," the producer said. "The lowest I could cut, with the technology that existed then, was about $ 40 million an episode."

Speaking of technology, Lucas wanted to push the envelope even further than it had with the trilogy of "Starwells War". "Butlestra Galactica" shower Ron Moore, who was also a member of the writing team, who worked on "Starwells War: The Underground" once said that Lucas "wanted to do very modern technology with CG and virtual kits and so on", And this was a long time Volume It existed, so it blurred the mind to think about what could develop around that time if everything would work.

At that time, HBO was definitely a name on a big budget television, so McCallum and Lucas went there to discuss the idea. There was a real project movement and they started looking for a European co -production partner. Unfortunately, Shakeups in HBO led to the fall of the talks and at that time there was no other real option to produce that size.
