I wish they finished Star Wars: 1313
It looked like it was going to be the same quality as The Last of Us but set in the Star Wars universe and stars a young boba fett that wasn’t a Jango clone!

That game was about to turn into a mess. The stuff we saw of the game was what they’d managed to finish before George stepped in and had them trash it all.

Originally the game was going to star an original character and follow his rise in the underworld of 1313. That’s who you see in that game footage.

Then George stepped in and “suggested” using Boba Fett instead. Which meant scrapping most of what they’d done as there was a standing policy of “DO WHATEVER GEORGE SAYS”. It wasn’t George’s fault mind you, he just wanted to come in and make suggestions not commands.

But his handler put that policy in place which ended up killing a number of projects. As George would regularly role in every six months or so with radical suggestions that usually meant scrapping everything you’d done and starting over until his next appearance and then rinse and repeat.

Which is why we had such a long dry spell before the Disney sale.
