The highly anticipated Star Wars 1313 may be ‘on hold’ according to sources close to the developer.
Despite claims that Disney would not interfere with existing LucasArts projects following their 2012 acquisition of the Star Wars visionaries, that appears to be exactly what has happened in this situation.
With J.J. Abrams set to reboot the franchise, it makes sense that they would prefer to focus their creative efforts on the upcoming film and - seeing as the current generation is rapidly drawing to a close - a delay could align nicely for a next-gen release for Star Wars 1313.
Here’s hoping that the project still has legs and hasn't been completely canned.

Well didnt take long for Disney to mess things up for Star Wars. I was looking forward to this game too.
A next-gen release that ties in with the film release would mean extra exposure for the franchise as a whole and the game would receive more TLC as a result of the extra development time.
However, the games industry moves so quickly that 1313 could very well be outdated by the time the release rolls around.
@jordanmarsden Yeah. I hope Disney does a good job on this.
i really hope that they don't cancel this game it looks like a great Star Wars game and we need one
come on Disney don't let me down (never thought i would say those words)
