A Nod to Star Wars History
This series arrives two decades after George Lucas initially announced the ambitious Star Wars: Underworld live-action television project, which ultimately never saw the light of day. With Tales of the Underworld, it appears that Star Wars is carefully resurrecting this legacy through the lens of an animated format, appealing to both nostalgic fans and newcomers alike.
Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting series and its characters as we approach the premiere date!
