10 Cancelled Star Wars Video Games That Would’ve Made Millions
3. 1313
LucasArts
Perhaps the most infamous of Star Wars cancellations, 1313 had it all.
Hot on the heels of its gorgeous debut at E3 2013, leaked concept art showed that the title would have focussed on Boba Fett's rise to power as the galaxy's deadliest Bounty Hunter.
On top of taking place in a vibrant and then unseen segment of Coruscant's underworld, 1313's gameplay utilised familiar third-person shooter elements in a distinctly Star Wars fashion, making for one of the best E3 demos in recent memory.
Like Darth Maul, Boba holds a great amount of adoration among Star Wars fans, and a game of his own would've been just the thing to put LucasArts back on the path to success.
With the 1313 licence now expired though, and with EA still only tentatively embracing single-player Star Wars games, Boba's would-be title presents a painful reminder for fans clamouring for a definitive bounty hunter experience on consoles.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
