VIDEO GAMES: The Main Character Of STAR WARS 1313 Revealed; Could The Game Be Saved?

One of the biggest mysteries of the game Star Wars 1313 was who was the main character. The game was sent in between the prequels and original trilogy. Now we know the truth. It turns out everybody's favorite badass bounty hunter was suppose to be the main character. No not IG-88, but Boba Fett. Most Star Wars fans have been wanting to see a Star Wars game starring Boba Fett. Unfortunately, due to LucasArts being shut down, the game is now cancelled.

A representative from LucasArts talked to Gameinformer and they said it was not a decision made in haste. Also, the closing of LucasArts has been evaluated since Disney acquired the publisher as part of the Disney/LucasArts deal in October 2012. The representative said the following:

"All of these things happened at once. Naturally, as any company that goes through a big announcement like this, you have to look through your whole portfolio and realign some things. 1313 was looking fantastic, the reception has been great. Our other unannounced titles are fine, it just got to a point where from a business standpoint we couldn't continue developing those internally and keep up with the direction that the company was going."

Now we all know that LucasArts is going out of business and Star Wars 1313 & Star Wars: First Assault are cancelled. However, the representative Gameinformer spoke to said the company is also evaluating its options regarding projects currently in development, which could be licensed out to external development and publishing partners:

"It is worth noting that we are looking for proven external partners who can help us provide video games to our fans. We still believe in the video game industry, we still will provide Star Wars games, we're just looking at different models rather than internal production... They're evaluating everything. There's always a possibility that it [Star Wars 1313] can still come out via licensing."

The representative with Gameinformer said that the general mood at the studio was, understandably, not upbeat:

"It's super sad. It's a terrible day. I want to make sure everyone realizes that there still will be Star Wars games out there."

Now Kotaku said that there is a slim chance of Star Wars 1313 ever getting made.

I've been told by multiple sources that chances are very slim. Development on the game had been on hold since last fall, as we reported in February.

So what was the reason Star Wars 1313 was cancelled? It seems like the reason the game was cancelled is because it was said that Star Wars 1313 doesn't fit with the movies and vice-versa, sources say.

They ended up with movie tech that wouldn't fit in a game, and game tech that wouldn't fit in a movie. 1313 was always in danger of not being made.

So there you go folks. Seems that the Boba Fett game everyone has been asking for isn't going to happen. What are your thoughts? Comment below. Peace.
