As reported by Polygon, the clip, which you can watch here, is test footage and a behind-the-scenes look of this show that would have taken place on Coruscant.The footage shows a mysterious figure attempting to secure plans for an Imperial Star Destroyer. After she secures said plans, she arrives at a small weapons store and tries to purchase a ship and escape.Unfortunately, Stormtroopers catch up to her and a battle ensues with some pretty horrendous shooting. Also, the footage resembles the style of the prequel films with a smaller budget.Star Wars: Underworld was announced by George Lucas in 2005's Star Wars Celebration and apparently ended up being just too expensive to make."Right now, it looks like the Star Wars features," Lucas said on G4's Attack of the Show in 2011. "But we have to figure out a way to make it at about a tenth of the cost of the features, because it’s television.”Lucas also confirmed there were 50 completed scripts for the series, which had some strong similarities to the canceled Star Wars 1313. This footage from Star Wars: Underworld, which was set to take place between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope, was originally from the Vimeo Page of visual effects studio Stargate Studios. The test footage had been there for 9 years, while the behind-the-scenes footage had been there for 7 years.While this series may have never seen the light of day, Disney and Lucasfilm are hard at work on the second season of The Mandalorian, the Obi-Wan Kenobi series, the Cassian Andor series, and much more.
