A long time ago in Los Angeles (which is not so far, far away), the world was shown its first glimpse of Star Wars 1313. This was back in 2012, when we were getting our first real taste of what “next-gen” gaming would be about, and this one was of the titles that got people (including myself) insanely excited. But alas, there was a great disturbance in the Force. A million voices cried out in terror when it was announced just a year later that Star Wars 1313 would be cancelled, or at least put frozen in carbonite, after Disney bought out Lucasfilm and either cancelled or suspended any of the then in-development projects, including Star Wars 1313.
However, it seems that all hope is not lost and we may yet see the return of this now legendary title. In an interview with SlashFilm, Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy said that they are looking to “explore” some of these old Lucasfilm ideas, including 1313 and the Star Wars live-action series.
“We don’t want to throw any of that stuff away,” said Kennedy to Slashfilm. “It’s gold. And it’s something we’re spending a lot of time looking at, pouring through, discussing, and we may very well develop those things further. We definitely want to.”

While this isn’t a full-on confirmation that we’re getting the same 1313 shown in 2012, it does at least give us the sense that we could see something similar to it in the future. Currently, EA has the licensing rights to produce Star Wars video games, so if anyone would be able to resurrect this IP, it’d be them. People love the recently released Star Wars Battlefront, and are excited for the upcoming Star Wars game which will be overseen by former former Uncharted director-writer Amy Hennig. Adding Star Wars 1313 to that list would be a no-brainer.
As a guy who salivated over the Star Wars 1313 trailers and concept art, I’m very excited over the prospect of getting this game in one form or another. I’m not expecting a complete replica of the original project since it will most likely use EA’s Frostbite Engine and not the proprietary one created for the original 1313. Not to mention that most of the original development staff may not even be involved in this project. However, the prospect of playing a Star Wars game set in the seediest parts of Coruscant where I get to play as a bounty hunter who has to rely on weapons and gadgets instead of Force powers is something that is irresistible.

TL;DR lucasfilm president mentioned 1313 as a project they're still looking at ideas like 1313 and discussing using them and developing them further

I really hope this turns into something. I was looking forward to this game, and I'm hoping we get to see something come of it again.

Uncharted's problem is that its story is boring. It never feels like you're accomplishing anything.

And the gameplay is pretty uninspired, but that's Naughty Dog's fault. Both of those issues could be fixed by another developer.

It looked like Mass Effect gameplay with a Star Wars skin.
I won't lose any sleep over its cancellation.
