It is well remembered that Lucas Film, pre Disney, was in development of a next gen game known as Star Wars 1313. The basis was a story line revolving around Boba Fett in his early adulthood, navigating past the scum of civilization in an underground area of Coruscant known as Level 1313. There was an actual gameplay trailer released that generated tons of buzz.
After The Walt Disney Company seized Lucas Films and all rights to projects related to Star Wars, the quickly ceased development of 1313 to the disappointment of fans everywhere. Maybe it was for the best, maybe not, but I'd argue that for those who want to keep Boba Fett's past a secret to keep the character mysterious, this was a good thing. My other point immediatly would be take Boba's past out of it and just have him as a guest character in the storyline. Come On! This is a golden idea of a game.
Fans have been waiting for a kick as game from Lucas Films for years and we keep getting disappointed. I'm including the recent Battlefront in that last statement. Just when there was a new hope it was aborted, for a lack of a better word. According to an article with Kathleen Kennedy on Slashfilm, there just may be signs of life.
"No. No, interestingly enough, thats 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. And there was 1313 the game, where there was….Unbelievable. So our attitude is, we don’t want to throw any of that stuff away. It’s gold. 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. We definitely want to."
This could mean many things. But I'm going to hold out hope that we're going to have 1313 in some way form or fashion. This would make the world a better place. Lets make this happen.
