Star Wars: 9 Ideas For The New Trilogy & TV Show

8. A Star Wars: Underworld-Esque Story

The last decade or so contains a few planned Star Wars projects that never made it to our screens, but looking across Star Wars: Underworld, Star Wars 1313, and the recently scrapped Project Ragtag game there is a common link.

Not only do they all sound awesome, but each were centred around the seedier underbelly of the Star Wars universe: rogues and mobsters rather than Jedi and Sith; blasters over lightsabers etc.

It's obviously a theme people involved in Lucasfilm want to explore, and there's sound logic in continuing to do so. With a game of that ilk seemingly unlikely, a TV show would be a great fit. It'd be slightly darker and more adult-hued ideally (though it is Disney), and could really fit into almost any time period. We've seen the success Marvel have had with exploring more grounded and grittier stories on the small screen, and this could be the Star Wars equivalent.

NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far. A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
