George Lucas’ Abandoned STAR WARS Series Cost $40 Million an Episode and Would’ve ‘Blown Up’ Franchise

According to the Nerdist article, George Lucas had a live-action Star Wars TV series in development titled "Star Wars: Underworld," but abandoned it due to the prohibitively high cost of production. The estimated budget was a staggering $40 million per episode. While the show was planned to explore the seedy underbelly of the Star Wars universe, the financial burden proved too great to overcome, leading Lucas to shelve the project despite reportedly having scripts for dozens of episodes ready.
