10 Video Games Studios Were IDIOTS To Cancel

Star Wars and video games seem destined to be together. The universe of Star Wars is just so inherently game-y; there's space wizards with awesome laser swords, huge spaceship battles, amazing characters and so, so many stories just waiting to be told.

That said, despite a huge amount of Star Wars games being released over the years, there's been quite a few which have had their proverbial heads cut off before they ever saw the full light of day.

The first of these, and one of the hardest-hitting, was Star Wars 1313. First revealed via a bombastic trailer at E3 2012, 1313 was to put you in the shoes of none other than old favourite bounty hunter Boba Fett in a third person, fast-paced shooter.

It looked brilliant, full of excellent environments and slick combat. It really could have been something special.

Unfortunately Star Wars 1313 was cut just a year after its initial reveal, after Disney shut down the developers, LucasArts, and subsequently fired all of the staff who worked there.
