"Star Wars producer Rick McCallum has given an update on the in-development TV series. The spinoff - provisionally titled Star Wars: Underworld - will focus on &amp;quot;the criminals and the gangs&amp;quot; of the Star Wars universe.  &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;re at a complicated impasse right now,&amp;quot; McCallum told IGN. &amp;quot;We have... 50 scripts [that are] unbelievable. The most provocative, the most bold and daring material that we&amp;#039;ve ever done.&amp;quot; McCallum added that Underworld will only enter production once George Lucas can make the show &amp;quot;at the cost of maybe $4 or $5 million an episode&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;The trouble is, they&amp;#039;re so complicated,&amp;quot; he explained. &amp;quot;Each hour has more visual effects and digital animation than any of the films that we&amp;#039;ve done and right now we&amp;#039;re just struggling. &amp;quot;That&amp;#039;s our biggest challenge, that&amp;#039;s our biggest problem. [The episodes] are so big, they&amp;#039;re so complicated, and we just don&amp;#039;t have the technology to do that.&amp;quot; However, McCallum predicted that Star Wars fans would eventually get to see the TV series in &amp;quot;a couple of years&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;[George] will find a way and once that happens I&amp;#039;m sure he&amp;#039;ll start back on [the show],&amp;quot; he insisted. &amp;gt; Star Wars TV series &amp;#039;is Empire Strikes Back on steroids&amp;#039; Watch a clip from The Empire Strikes Back below:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
