However, that has always been the case. Specifically, a much-anticipated video game project, titled Star Wars 1313, was in development for many years before Disney finally pumped the brakes on it and broke the hearts of an entire fanbase.

Unfortunately, however, Star Wars 1313 was officially cancelled in 2013, to many fans’ dismay.
Why Was Star Wars 1313 Cancelled?

That’s right, when Disney bought Lucasfilm, the company ceased internal development on Star Wars 1313 and laid off its staff. In essence, The Mouse House pivoted from developing its own Star Wars games to a safer, more risk averse way of developing them: licensing them out to third-party publishers. As a result, Star Wars 1313 was canned and finally put on ice.
