According to reports from Slash Film, Gamma Squad and many more websites, this rumor started over at Cinelinx.
"We've heard for a while that Disney has been actively trying to get a Star Wars live-action series off the ground, and the fact that this news is popping up again means something changed or was figured out. This sent me digging for more and I've come up with some information on the development of the series that you may find interesting," Cinelinx said this week. "I'll warn you now, it's nothing Earth-shattering (like plot info or start date), but it does show us about where they are in the process, why we're hearing about it now, and the likelihood that we won't see it anytime in the near future. I've heard from a couple sources now that until the film schedules have all been ironed out (we've got at least two movies getting that sorted now), the show is in a holding pattern."
We could see a Marvel Cinematic Universe and Agents of SHIELD formula with this new show, but we'll have to wait and see what actually happens with this rumor.
After recently seeing the Star Wars anime viral video this week, we're open to new takes on the universe. Though we love the animated TV shows from Star Wars, a live-action series would definitely be welcome. Let us know what you think of this TV rumor in the comments section below!
