“ an area we’ve spent a lot of time, reading through the material that he developed is something we very much would like to explore.” Star Wars: Underworld, Kennedy says, is something the company is also interested in digging up. The show went through a troubled pre-production stage and was quietly taken out back and shot in 2010. It was announced at Star Wars Celebration 2005 as a “darker” and “grittier” take on the universe, back when “dark” and “gritty” weren’t eye-rolling cliches.

The game was conceived as a tie-in to George Lucas’ Star Wars: Underworld series, a proposed live-action TV show set between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope. Surely those talks Kennedy says are happening at Lucasfilm must involve this question. So, an expensive Star Wars video game targeting only adults doesn’t sound appealing to investors, or to parents. And with such a deep foundation in the kids’ market, it seems like a left-field scenario. M-rated games make a lot of money, but there has never been an M-rated Star Wars game. Though a revival would be welcome, Star Wars is now a four-quadrant all-ages franchise run by Disney. Missing from Kennedy’s comments is the distinct possibility that the game goes soft. Star Wars 1313 was formally announced at E3 2012 as a third-person RPG shooter where players control a rookie bounty hunter ( Kotaku reported it was Boba Fett) through the dark, grimy alleys of the city-covered planet of Coruscant.Įvoking a pessimistic realism, 1313 would have brought to Star Wars themes of urban terrorism, organized criminal politics, and space prostitution, told through a sprawling game. And it’s something we’re spending a lot of time looking at, pouring through, discussing, and we may very well develop those things further.” Kennedy - who said in an interview with Slashfilm that she thought the concept work of Star Wars 1313 was “unbelievable” - said they “definitely want to” revive the properties.įrom the interview: “So our attitude is, we don’t want to throw any of that stuff away. But should the projects resurrect, their darker edge may dull because of the Disney ownership.
Company president Kathleen Kennedy said in a revealing Slashfilm interview the company is still exploring options for the fabled Star Wars 1313, a gritty action game canceled in 2013, and George Lucas’ Star Wars: Underworld TV series. The good news is three more Star Wars games are in development, including a sequel to Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.Star Wars: The Force Awakens is primed to overtake theaters next week and key figures from Lucasfilm are making the mandatory press rounds. It’s unlikely 1313 will ever come to fruition at this point and fans will be stuck wondering what could’ve been. New footage showing Boba Fett in action in 1313 has reignited the pain for some players, salting the wound almost 10 years later. Fans everywhere were disappointed that they’d never experience the exciting game. The game was canceled when Disney purchased Lucasfilm and shut down the video game section of the business, LucasArts, in 2013. The game was still early in development, but it looked incredible. The gameplay included cover-based combat, a short hand-to-hand segment, and a parkour section on the outside of a burning ship. An E3 trailer in 2013 gave fans their first look at the title, showing two characters descending to level 1313 beneath Coruscant and fighting off an enemy ship. Star Wars: 1313 was an unreleased title that looked like it could’ve been one of the best Star Wars games of all time.
