In the meantime, Star Wars fans have plenty to look forward to with the arrival of Star Wars: Episode VIII next December as well as the Han Solo film (which is currently aiming for a 2018 release) and the ongoing Star Wars animated TV series on Disney XD, Star Wars Rebels.
What we do know is that prior to Disney’s purchase of Lucasfilm, George Lucas had been interested in creating a Star Wars TV series called Star Wars: Underworld.
A Star Wars TV series would definitely be an exciting development, but as fans saw with the prequel anthology films, anything Star Wars related needs to have just the right timing and structure to deliver on the level that fans expect from the franchise.
ABC has discussed a Star Wars TV series with Disney a few times in the past, but those talks have never given rise to anything specific – at least not to the public.
