With the Disney acquisition of Lucasfilm and Star Wars   
   completed, and pre-production now underway on Star Wars:   
   Episode VII, other outposts of the Disney empire are free to   
   look at developing yet more Star Wars projects. Disney-owned   
   American broadcaster ABC is interested in the long-mooted   
   live action Star Wars TV series.   
      
   ABC entertainment president Paul Lee told Entertainment   
   Weekly: "We'd love to do something with Lucasfilm. We're not   
   sure what yet. We haven't even sat down with them. We're   
   going to look at [the live-action series]. We're going to   
   look at all of them, and see what's right. We weren't able   
   to discuss this with them until [the acquisition] closed and   
   it just closed. It's definitely going to be part of the   
   conversation."   
      
   Lucasfilm has previously developed 50 scripts for a live   
   action Star Wars TV series that was to be based around the   
   criminal underworld of the bounty hunters and was said by   
   ex-Lucasfilm producer Rick McCallum to be akin to "Deadwood   
   in space". According to previous reports, Lucasfilm were   
   waiting for special effects technology to develop before the   
   live action TV series would be affordable. Elements of that   
   planned series are reputed to have been used in forthcoming   
   bounty hunter Star Wars videogame 1313.
