In the world Star Warsone of the biggest “if what?” is Star Wars underworld. That was the name of the TV show George Lucas, a team of Lucasfilm worked for years before it finally canceled it. We've been hearing that the show has written dozens of scripts that were originally set up on Coruscant, showing a brand new galaxy, far away, far away, but beyond that, hardly anyone knows.
However, in the new interview, at the time George Lucas producer Rick McCallum shared some new details about a long-lost (but never forgotten) project. The biggest one is that McCallum actually tries to budget for the show, and the minimum show he gets is $40 million per episode. 4 million times 60 episodes equals $2.4 billion. No wonder no one wants to do this. However, this sounds great. This is McCallum The Chronicle of Young Indy podcast.

“I think we have over 60 scripts. The third pick script,” McCallum said in the clip above. “Same, the best writer in the world. Once again, we have created the exact same experience for everyone [Skywalker] The ranch, again, is just an amazing talent. ”
“These are all dark. They're sexy, they're violent, absolutely great. Wonderful, complex, challenging. I mean, it blows up the whole thing Star Wars Universe and Disney sure never offer George to buy it [laughs]. But this is one of the biggest disappointments in our lives. But the problem is that every episode is bigger than a movie, so I can boil it down to the lowest technology, which was about 40 million episodes at the time. ”
Even in today's world, about 30 years after McCallum's budget everything, $40 million per episode is still a lot. Most of the larger performances you can think of –Game of Thrones, Walking StemAnd so on – Typically, each episode costs $10 million to $20 million. This is still considered high. Some of the most expensive things that have happened recently have happened, and there are rumors that Netflix is in the new Stranger's stuff Amazon reportedly spent nearly $60 million per person Strength Ring. So it's very big Star Wars Show that having $40 million today is not the problem today, but it is certainly impossible. (return, Mandalorian The cost is significantly lower than this. )
