While we were off podcasting last night, word dropped from Entertainment Weekly that Disney was looking at the live-action Star Wars series Lucasfilm has been working on for the last several years.

ABC entertainment president Paul Lee says he’s going to take a look at the long-gestating Star Wars live-action TV series now that the Disney deal to acquire Lucasfilm is complete.

“We’d love to do something with Lucasfilm, we’re not sure what yet,” Lee exclusively told EW. “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.”

Also of note? Apparently Battlestar Galactica’s Ron Moore has been involved with the series.

Even many working in Hollywood don’t realize a live-action Star Wars TV series has been sitting on the shelf the past few years. The project was commissioned by longtime Lucasfilm producer Rick McCallum, who enlisted writers such as Battlestar Galactica‘s Ron Moore and swore them to NDA secrecy on the plot details (more on the show’s storyline below). Fifty scripts were written. McCallum once called the scripts the most “provocative, bold and daring material that we’ve ever done.”

Now, it should be noted that while ABC is looking into the possibility of a live-action Star Wars TV series to go along with their Whedon-produced S.H.I.E.L.D series, it doesn’t mean the show would necessarily be the McCallum project. Right now it’s just one possibility on the table for Disney if they wish to put Star Wars on TV for a more adult audience.
