All rights belong to Stargate Studios and Lucasfilm.
Released test footage from 2010 of the cancelled Star Wars TV show "Underworld," which was to take place in the lower levels of Coruscant. The series was set after the events of Order 66. The video game "1313" was to be a tie-in of this series. Due to the immense cost of shooting the series, as well as the selling of Lucasfilm to Disney, "Underworld" was delayed and eventually cancelled.
This footage was produced by Stargate Studios (whose VFX resume includes Doctor Who, The Walking Dead, The Orville) in partnership with Lucasfilm. The VFX technology displayed in the making-of portion is Stargate Studios' impressive real-time rendering Virtual Backlot Live technology.
For more information about the concept art, stories, and development of "Underworld," as well as "1313," this archive has much information:

That was Blade Runner with stormtroopers, thank God that was cancelled. Blade Runner movies are box office failures for a good reason.

That actually looked cool. Sure, it's obviously lower budget, but a good story would make me overlook that.
I'm glad we're FINALLY getting live action Star Wars TV, but it's sad that show never saw the light of day....

Hmmm I didn't see that the video stated it was 'Test Footage', which now makes much more sense. I wouldn't expect test footage to look any better than that. The concept is cool.

I was looking at Rick McCallum's IMDB page just to see what he was up to (that Duel of Fates music video reminded me of him). His page lists Star Wars: Underworld as 'Announced'. Interesting. I wonder if Rick is back with the franchise then? Or maybe he's only attached in name due to the project being alive prior to Disney buying Star Wars? www.imdb.com/name/nm0564768/www.imdb.com/title/tt0458291/?ref_=nm_flmg_prd_1

Oh dear God no! Rick McCallum is garbage. Why? He's just a Lucas Yes Man from the prequel era who brought nothing to Star Wars.

The Asian woman at the beginning looks like Demora Sulu.

this footage looks stunning especially for the time it was made (sans the shaky cam); Coruscant is my favorite Star Wars setting, especially at night, very iconic. Dry desert lands and tundra just don't do it for me in the long run, too lazy, unless they are funky like Geonosis. Hope Mandalorian & Co follow suit with some ambitious world building.

Didn't they see that guy standing right in front of them pointing that blaster? They didn't become alert until the guy behind the counter pulled a blaster on them. Also, shiny speeder in a seedy part of town is like someone driving up in a Lambo'.
