For a brief time,Star Wars 1313was poised to be the series' next great video game endeavor, players being able to take part in the rise of the iconic bounty hunter Boba Fett. Now, many years after its cancellation, new unreleased footage ofStar Wars 1313has appeared, giving fans another taste of what could’ve been.
Star Wars 1313was revealed at E3 2012, and quickly got the attention of bothStar Warsfans and the greater gaming community in general. The initial presentation showed an action heavy, third-person shooter akin to theUnchartedseries set in one ofStar Wars' least-explored and darkest areas, level 1313 of the planet Coruscant. Unfortunately, the acquisition ofStar Warsby Disney from Lucasfilm eventually caught up to the game’s developers, LucasArts, the studio being closed and the game being canceled. There were rumors on and off of the game’s survival, but for all intents and purposes,Star Wars 1313the video game died with LucasArts' closure.

New footage ofStar Wars 1313shows off an extended sequence of Boba Fett gameplay as he pursues a target through Coruscant’s underbelly. The footage starts with a jetpack-less Boba Fett walking through a crowded bar where he is eventually noticed by his bounty who takes off on foot. In the next sequence, Boba Fett and his partner chase after the target through a variety of untextured environments, with the player performing a variety of Parkour moves like leaping up and over obstacles, climbing on handholds, and swinging on pipes. This three minute clip was released for Vault Project’s 6th anniversary, a group centered primarily on researchingStar Wars Battlefront 3.
This is not the first time thatStar Wars 1313material has leaked since the game’s cancellation. In 2020,many screenshots ofStar Wars 1313leakeddepicting environments very similar to what is shown in this unfinished gameplay reel, as well as closeups of Boba Fett and his partner.
A screenshot from another leak includes the UI that is seen in the film as well, the player having a blaster-bolt counter in the bottom left of the screen, and what appears to be the status of multiple other tools in the bottom right. Just when it seems like there is nothing left to show, moreStar Wars 1313material keeps appearing.
Boba Fett has had a handful ofStar Warsappearances since the game’s cancellation, having a couple of arcs inStar Wars: The Clone Wars, and being a playable Hero in EA’sStar Wars Battlefrontgames. Players looking for that third-person, action adventure kick that1313would have provided should check outStar Wars: Jedi Fallen Order, although it is sadly without Boba Fett. Hopefully the recent success of the Disney Plus showThe Book of Boba Fettwill prompt Disney to revisitStar Wars 1313once again.
