Boba fett 13134/24/2023 Part of the reason Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is being praised right now is down to the fact that fans of the series are craving new single-player stories in the video game medium. The first game didn't have a single-player campaign mode at all, while the second was criticized heavily due to false-advertising in its story and forced hero characters like the chapter where Luke Skywalker fights bugs for 15-minutes. Neither of the Star Wars: Battlefront games were received particularly well, despite selling millions of copies, with one of the biggest criticisms coming down to single-player content. Disney's new live-action series, The Mandalorian, is in a similar boat, capitalizing on the popularity of Boba Fett by building the show's story and protagonist around the bounty hunter's iconic look. Considering the popularity of Boba Fett, it's easy to speculate that the character wasn't always part of the plan and was later changed as part fan-service, part smart business practice, like the Fortnite/Star Wars crossover, is doing right now. When Star Wars 1313 was first announced, the protagonist was known to be a bounty hunter but at the time hadn't been named as the bounty hunter Boba Fett that came later. The trademark was abandoned the following year, and while President of Lucasfilm, Kathleen Kennedy commented on the possible return of the project in December 2015, that never came to fruition. A little further down the road, this led to the announcement of a new Star Wars trilogy and narrative canon, the closure of LucasArts, and the cancellation of all existing projects including Star Wars 1313. Disney announced plans to buy Lucasfilm in October 2012 for $4.05 billion following George Lucas' retirement from blockbuster filmmaking. Unfortunately, excitement for Star Wars 1313 was short-lived when the project was canceled indefinitely in April 2013, roughly 10 months after its official announcement. Named after the setting rather than the protagonist, Star Wars 1313 was set on a new location on the city-covered plant Coruscant, called Level 1313 a subterranean metropolis that's home to the criminal underworld. Originally announced during E3 2012, Star Wars 1313 was an action-adventure game that followed the bounty hunter Boba Fett between the prequel and original trilogies, following the death of his father Jango Fett in Star Wars: Attack of the Clones.
