A mysterious new “ Star Wars ” series is in early development from “Lost” co-showrunner Carlton Cuse and his son, Nick Cuse, Variety has confirmed. There are practically no other details available about the show, such as which characters it will include, when it will take place in the “Star Wars” timeline or which actors will be cast.
