The proposed live-action “Star Wars” TV series has been in development for years now, and Den of Geek recently spoke with Lucasfilm producer Rick McCallum who spoke about the tone, the projects current status, and the economic realities.\"McCallum<\/p>\n

As of now, “we have spent three and a half years on and there are 50 hours totally scripted… Well, they\u2019re all second draft scripts and it would probably take a year of prep before shooting would start, but that\u2019s because they\u2019re all very complex” he says.<\/p>\n

A big concern is the content which will NOT be targeted at the kids – “These stories are adult. I mean\u2026these are like Deadwood in space. [Its] so unlike anything you\u2019ve ever associated with George before in relation to Star Wars. These arent for kids. I mean, we hope they\u2019ll watch, but its not being targeted at 8-to-9 year old boys.<\/p>\n

“The main factor holding it back? Cost. “The situation we have is that each episode \u2013 or if you put two hour long episodes together \u2013 is bigger than any film weve ever done. Its on the Avatar level and well only have about $5-6 million we can spend on each episode” he says.<\/p>\n
