In such an heroic universe , that ’s stretched across over four decades , it ’s no wonder that someStar Warsstories have fallen by the roadside . It ’s an incredible achievement for a narrative to make its way into a comic , video game , or series countenance alone standing alone in its own moving picture .
Out of all theStar Warsstorylines we ’ve see in the spotlight over the age , and even those single less heard of , slews of others have only made it to the conceptual phase . For most of these stories , it should make sense as to why they were scrapped . For others , you ’ll leave questioning why they never made it to the visible radiation of sidereal day .
Lucas' Original Sequel Trilogy
At one point in time , George Lucaswas actually supposed to man the helm of theStar Warssequel trilogy . The original plan for the sequel trilogy was to center , once again , around Luke Skywalker . This sentence , however , he ’d be helping destruct whatever was left of the Empire and re - establish the Jedi Order .
Obviously , that ’s not what fall out . Lucas , at some gunpoint , decided to hand the tonality to someone else and let them pluck the storyline . Even though the newest trilogy maintain some elements of Lucas ' original news report , there ’s still plausibly plenty ofStar Warsfans out there that would ’ve rather had him in charge to bring his sequel movies to life .
Wookie-Only Project
In the world ofStar Wars , Wookies have become one of the more appealing lineament species thanks to , in large part , to the most notable Wookie , Chewbacca .
Well , because of that , theStar Warsteam , led by George Lucas , thought that a moving-picture show centered on the Wookies might be an approximation worth take . However , once they consider that fans in all likelihood would n’t want to listen strictly to their Wookie language for an full film , the idea was abandoned . As much as they ’d sleep with to instruct and see more about the species ' culture on their household planet of Kashyyyk , they ’d probably be less interested in a Wookie - only labor .
Droid-Only Project
Falling in good order in bank line with the idea for a Wookie - only projection , there was once an thought to make a film concentre just on themany droids of theStar Warsuniverse . Led by C3PO and R2D2 , the picture show would ’ve postdate the droids around in their likely hysterically golden adventures against the Empire .
Like the scrapped Wookie film , this one got the axe jolly promptly as well . As self-colored of an idea it probably seemed at the time , it most likely took a ready rethink to realize that most the great unwashed could n’t bare a 2.5 - minute movie with just droids . It was an idea that Dave Filoni played with a bit duringClone Wars , and it was a much smart move to test it out in a 25 - minute telecasting episode as opposed to a full - distance film .
Boba Fett Solo Project
One projection that always seemed too good to be on-key was a longtime - rumour solo Boba Fett movie . believe to detail how Boba Fett survived the Sarlacc pit after the events of Episode VI , this solo film was one that fans dream of for years , but never truly came to fruition .
That ’s also not to say that the idea was never in circulation amongst theStar Warshigher - ups . class after year , we ’d pick up a new rumor about a new Boba Fett film , but those rumour were almost always debunked curtly after . We should finally see the continuation of his story in season 2 ofThe Mandalorian , but it comes after days of Army of the Pure - pile and false hope over a solo film of his own .
Infinities
Arguably 0ne of the bestStar Warscomic book serial was the four - part storylines ofStar Wars : Infinities . Made for the original trilogy , these comics were essentially the equivalent of what Marvel plan to do with their upcomingWhat If?series .
These story weren’tcanon to the Star Wars universe , but nonetheless create some fascinating alternate storylines for the original trilogy . After the final military issue was released in 2004 , the idea for these basically faded into oblivion . Some of their concepts , like Darth Maul ’s survival or Leia ’s practice as a Jedi , were play with in later films or tv set series but were fairly neglected beyond that . unhappily , the serial was largely blank out and was never recreated for the two following trilogy .
Knights of the Old Republic
Any fan of theStar Warsvideo gamescan distinguish you plenty about theKnights of the Old Republicgames . rigid thousands of years before the time of the Galactic Empire we know , the games follow one of the original friction between the easy and dark English as the Jedi Order protect the Republic from Sith attack .
Both game were beautifulStar Warsstories that earned more of a spotlight than they got . The existent cataclysm is that the third plot , originally announced in 2003 , was cancel shortly after due to budget cutting . With the stories , fibre , and worlds already project forKnights of the Old Republic III , it was fundamentally just a plot line thrown away . The humans ofKnights of the Old Republicis one of the more originative adjustment of the Star Wars universe and it ’s a ignominy that those stories have never gotten more time in the calcium light away from the few game and funnies .
Rey’s Lineage
Most recently , Star Warssequel trilogystar Daisy Ridley released that the origin story of her character , Rey , went through a number of dissimilar variation up until the end of shootingRise of the Skywalker . One of the most intriguing alternate backstories was that or else of being Palpatine ’s granddaughter , she was going to have some kind of familial copulation to none other thanObi - Wan Kenobi .
harmonise to Ridley , managing director J.J. Abrams changed the backstory more than once and even play with the idea of making the character unrelated to anyone and only making her no one as everyone figure when they first met her . Regardless , all those other ideas were bury behind the choice to make her a descendent of Palpatine . Realistically , they would ’ve been fresh to go with one of those other ideas since most people were n’t thrilled with the last selection .
Starkiller
Another pretty abandoned storyline once again come from one of the most famousStar Warsvideo game franchises . For those that spiel either of the incredibleForce Unleashedgames recognize of the legendary and rightful phantom learner Galen Marek , aka Starkiller .
The unnamed apprentice of Darth Vader , Starkiller is arguably one of the most herculean eccentric ever seen in anyStar Warsstory . However , outside of the two games and somecomics and novels , the fictional character is wildly underused . Granted , he might be too powerful for any form of mainstreamStar Warsstory , but it ’d be awesome to see him get his own boob tube series or even another young game . Until then , we ’ll just have to assume that they ’re completely done with the character and his story .
The Underworld
Next up comes one of the two most noteworthy canceled projects that theStar Warsuniverse sadly abandoned . Back in the other 2000s , George Lucas was planning to finally bring a unrecorded - action story to television set in the form ofThe Underworld .
Set between the metre of the prequel and original trilogies , the serial was dress to distinguish the story of the Coruscant netherworld , and the many levels that we ’ve seen explored in bothClone Warsas well as many comics and novels . There are so many incredible , gritty , and human account to be told through the form of the underworld , but sadly they were never told in live - action . Once again a victim to be constraints , The Underworldnever watch the light of daytime , but hopefully one Clarence Shepard Day Jr. we see a similar series properly done for a Disney+ series .
Star Wars 1313
MostStar Warsfans know raft about the offset " storey 1313 " TV game . in the first place announce in the Summer of 2012 , this history also research the underbelly of the city of Coruscant , with an incredible dawdler to go along with it .
For whatever cause , these stories about the Coruscant underworld never seem to make it to the airfoil . This plot , in particular , seemed like a slam dunk shot , specially after some bright looking gameplay . Disney ’s purchase of Lucasfilm , however , led to a monumental series of layoff of those working on the game , and thus , it was ultimately put to rest . Hopefully , one day , we see a revival of " Level 1313 " and finally get to see the fascinating and serious story of the Coruscant Hell .
