10 Video Games Cancelled For The WORST Reasons

10. Star Wars 1313 (LucasArts)

I never got the love for Boba Fett, honestly. He's famous for nodding to Darth Vader, cuddling his dad's severed head and getting murdered by a blind guy, by accident. Hardly the tenure of a cool dude.

But that's not to say I didn't see the potential of a grittier, more mature-focused Star Wars adventure with Fett at the helm, and Star Wars 1313 was eager to see how that might play out.

With the anchor of the story focused on his interactions with all the scum and villainy of the vast underworld of 1313, a seedy district of the planet Coruscant, all we know is that you'd have used "Boba Fett's extensive arsenal of weaponry to bring in bounties, dead or alive". Judging by how close they all seem to stand to explosive barrels, I'm going to assume dead in this case.

Yet, it was being developed at a critical phase of Disney's acquisition of LucasArts, wherein Star Wars would follow a strict and itemised product list. And much like me and the Game Developer Ones To Watch Awards, Star Wars 1313 simply wasn't on the list.

Since then, of course, Disney have released The Mandalorian, Book of Boba Fett and more, so anyone itching for Boba Fett content aren't going hungry, but that's not the point - sometimes you just want to see a company take a gamble, and bet on lucky number thirteen. Th...thirteen.
