Rumour: Star Wars 1313 on hold
------------------------------
New film trilogy Disney's focus.

Three sources familiar with game development at LucasArts have
told Kotaku that Star Wars 1313 is on hold and that the game
will miss its 2013 release goal.

The sources claim development ceased on the title last October
when Disney acquired LucasArts.

Allegedly the company�s focus is now on the new film trilogy
and the JJ Abrams-directed Star Wars: Episode VII.

LucasArts would only say that the game hadn�t been cancelled.

"LucasArts has been working diligently to take advantage of
the tremendous opportunities that the new Star Wars movies
present," said a spokesperson.

"Star Wars 1313 continues production."

Star Wars 1313 was originally an open-world RPG in the vein
of Knights of the Old Republic, but under former LucasArts
president Paul Meegan it was transformed into an
Uncharted-style action-adventure game.

The game's story allegedly reveals the identity of Boba Fett
and the Bothan spies, and explains why Han Solo was working
for Jabba the Hutt.

Star Wars 1313 was shaping up pretty well when we previewed
it at last year�s E3, but there has been little news about
it since.
