Star Wars: Underworld

Star Wars: Underworld is a canceled Star Wars series that would have been set between the prequel and original trilogies. The series was considered to be more of a dark noir style series, including characters like Han Solo, Chewbacca, Emperor Palpatine, Lando Calrissian, Boba Fett, and C-3PO. Despite being announced all the way back in 2005, the series never came to fruition.
