Did you know there is a fully completed Star Wars TV show sitting in a Lucasfilm vault that’s never seen the light of day?
films’ major players would have appeared on the show. Instead,would star new creations alongside previously obscure creations like bounty hunters Bossk and Dengar. But the writers found they loved creating twisted versions of the franchise’s famous heroes and villains, and one by one they were all added to luminaries to join in the fun, with Anthony Daniels , Ahmed Best , and the great Billy Dee Williams all returning to voice their old characters.
“No matter what you think of the movies,” Hay told me, “this guy is is truly an ideas man. He never does run out of ideas. He never does stop pitching.”, he spent a lot of time with Lucas, who was intimately involved with the development of the show. When the writing staff assembled at Skywalker Ranch for two-week story conferences, Lucas spent half of every day in the writers’ room.
Contrary to his reputation as a square dude with bland taste and stale ideas, Hay says Lucas’ suggestions were often ingeniously offbeat. During one story session, the writers hit a brick wall trying to resolve a dispute between two aliens. Lucas’ proposed solution: Have one character eat the other. “They’re both, like, alien monsters.” he explained. “You don’t have to settle this peacefully, just have one eat the other.
“And we’re like ‘That kind of suggests our characters are cannibals,’” Hay remembers. “And he’s like ‘Well I’m not saying it’s perfect, but why don’t you try it?’”in the first place; the former USC film student who loved experimental cinema. With no network executives looking over their shoulders, Lucas empowered the staff to unleash their imaginations.
