My post yesterday discussed the up and coming Star Wars Rebels TV series set for a September 2014 release. In my list of characters and story-lines that I am hoping will come to fruition with this new series, I seemed to have left out one that needs to be included.

Star Wars 1313 - This video game which was suppose to be delivered this coming holiday season was one of those projects that was scraped with the closing of Lucasarts...or will it? The timeline of this video game is right on par with the time period Star Wars Rebels is taking place. The animated video segments that were releases at G4 this past year and on the Lucasarts website were impressive to say the least. The dark and gritty underworld of Coruscant level 1313 was a new and amazing segment of the Star Wars universe that was going to open a whole new series of Expanded Universe stories that would have starred bounty hunters, scoundrels and other forms of scum and villainy  Perhaps even cameo appearances of Darth Vader or even a Jedi in hiding from Order 66?  

Even though Lucasarts is no longer making Star Wars video games, we have been told that Disney is teaming up with EA Games to make the next set of Star Wars titles which will most certainly sync up with events in Star Wars Rebels and Episode 7. I really think Disney would be making a mistake if they did not reach out to the developers who were working on this game. From what I saw, story ideas were abundant  animated segments were in the works and the team was in place to make this game a reality.  Plus, if it is in the same time period that Star Wars Rebels is taking place it would open the storyline to new comics and novels as well.

Do you want to see the Star Wars 1313 project brought to light? Let us know your thoughts!  Email us at: jundlandwastespodcast@gmail.com
