Back in 2005, George Lucas was still in charge of Star Wars and had the idea to bring Star Wars to the small screen as a live-action television show. Star Wars: Underworld might be the most influential show that never existed. Check out our list below, which is in no particular order, and decide for yourself if any of these projects rival the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise. The creators behind these projects include George Lucas himself, Zack Snyder, and even Marvel Studios' Kevin Feige. Some were announced to great fanfare, only to disappear from release slates later. Some of these projects were deep into development, with dozens of episodes already written when the axe came down.
The following list covers every movie or series that we could find that fits those criteria: the canceled, the failed, and the forgotten Star Wars projects. Looking back throughout the franchise's history, though, there are a bunch of scrapped projects and a few that are disappointing enough to warrant mention even though they hit the finish line-we're talking about you, Star Wars Holiday Special.
A shift in the last few years in fan sentiment and a rash of canceled projects, though, has shown us that, yes, even the never-repeated cultural juggernaut that is Star Wars can hit rough patches. Even given the middling responses to the sequel trilogy throughout the 2010s, Star Wars movies have been huge moneymakers for Lucasfilm and, later, Disney. For many years, it seemed like Star Wars just could not fail.
