Every In Development (& Rumoured) Star Wars Movie & TV Show - Ranked

5. Darth Bane TV Show

Status: Rumoured

The most unexpected and outlandish of the rumoured Disney Plus shows, it's a little hard to believe a Darth Bane series will actually happen, given it doesn't fit with the streaming service's plans so far (looking at the other rumours, and what we know is happening for the MCU, the focus is on highly recognisable movie characters who can be given a bigger role).

But still, this is Darth Bane, who is one of the most important characters in Star Wars lore. An ancient Sith Lord, he's known for originating the Sith's 'Rule of Two', helping shape the galaxy's entire future, while having a lot of power and compelling backstory himself. It'll need to tie slightly into his one canonical appearance in The Clone Wars (where he was voiced by none other than Mark Hamill), but otherwise the show is a very different proposition to anything else mentioned, and one with the most potential - even if it's one of the most unlikely.
