'Star Wars: Underworld' test footage reveals what George Lucas' TV show could have looked like

Purported test footage from George Lucas' scrapped "Star Wars (opens in new tab)" TV show has surfaced online courtesy of Stargate Studios, who created some of the special effects for the clip.

Titled "Star Wars: Underworld (opens in new tab)," the show would have taken place in the Rebellion era visiting such locations as Coruscant, as seen in this clip (opens in new tab), which is followed by a behind-the-scenes vignette of the making-of the footage.

"Star Wars: Underworld" was originally announced in 2005, before being scrapped due to budgetary concerns (opens in new tab) prior to Disney's purchase of Lucasfilm and "Star Wars."
