Apparently the live-action show is still on hold, but it now has a title.
This is from ComingSoon.net ...

The Live Action Star Wars Series Gets a Working Title
-----------------------------------------------------
The bad news for fans eagerly anticipating the live action
"Star Wars" series is that not much has changed since word
broke last June that the massive production is currently
on hold, awaiting costs to drop to a point that will make
the FX-heavy undertaking financially feasible. Producer
Rick McCallum is hoping that won't be too far off, however,
and today told IGN that the show even has a working title:
Star Wars: Underworld.

"It's underneath what's going on," he reiterated about the
series' focus, "It's the criminals and the gangs. The guys
who are running Wall Street, basically. The guys who are
running the United States."

Even if the series is a few more years away, McCallum says
there's no risk in the scripts become dating and that the
delay can only make the show stronger.

"They're timeless," he explains. "They take place between
Episode III and Episode IV. That 20 year period when Luke
is growing up. It's not about Luke, but it's about that
period when the Empire is trying to take things [over]."
