“1313” was the “Star Wars” video game that was suddenly cancelled when Lucasfilm was bought out by Disney.

“We don’t want to throw any of that stuff away”, said Kennedy to Slashfilm. The company feels the material for both projects is “gold” as they continue to look them over and discuss how they might develop Underworld and 1313 more.
However, if we do see it again, chances are that it will be development by EA which is not something fans would want to see after Battlefront.
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. The Star Wars 1313 trademark application expired at the end of 2013 and, as the USPTO indicates, it, and the game, now stand abandoned.
“We are proud to bring our audience a 3rd season of Star Wars Rebels, a series that has resonated across generations”.
While talking about discarded projects, the focus shifted to George Lucas’ live-action Star Wars television show, where questions were asked about whether or not the dozens of scripts for episodes are gone from the ongoing “Star Wars content” conversation. As the head of Lucasfilm, everyone is hanging on her every word, hoping she’ll say something of real substance that then becomes a story worth paying attention.
For 1313, the game was in the hard period between console generations.

For those who are a little lost at this point, Star Wars: Underground was a live action TV series first revealed at Star Wars Celebration III in 2005. This means that fans of “Star Wars 1313” could still get their hands on the game sometime in the future. Quite frankly were opting to take the latter opinion on this matter, which could either be emboldened or revised after Rogue One: A Star Wars Story lands in theaters next December. One inherent advantages this affords the franchise is that the creative forces behind the films would not have to constantly cook up cheap resurrection plotlines to keep certain characters established within the universe.
