  • In 2012, LucasArts announced Star Wars 1313. 5 months later, LucasFilm would be sold to Disney, LucasArts would close and the project would be cancelled. What happened to the project? Did it really star Boba Fett? And how did it connect to the forgotten Star Wars TV Show Underworld?

    First the Halo MMO, now 1313. You're slowly adapting each game mentioned in Blood, Sweat, Pixels lol. In all seriousness idk if you have read it but its sequel, Press Reset, is really good. One game i think would work well for one of your videos is The Bureau XCOM Declassified, its development is so chaotic yet tragic.

    • @LuckStat
      @LuckStat  4 месяца назад +7

      Definitely was hesitant to do this one because I didn't want to feel like I was repeating Schreier's work, but I felt it'd been long enough that I could give 1313 some extra context. I've got Press Reset but I haven't read it yet (maybe I'll pick it up when I'm running short on ideas 😉). XCOM Declassified is also on my list, actually! I'm not sure if it'll happen this year but it's one I've been wanting to cover

      Lucas has always been an idiot and bad filmmaker. Most good ideas werent his or he ripped them off. The prequels were a dull mess. Empire- objectively the best movie- he didn’t even direct. He doesn’t even understand the world “he created”. Because he didn’t. And went onto scupper and destroy many great ideas that could’ve put many great Star Wars experiences out there. Personally I’m sick of the whole franchise and Disney has nailed the coffin. But I was always curious about 1313 and this was a well made vid. Cheers dude

    • @LuckStat
      @LuckStat  4 месяца назад +1

      I appreciate the kind words, for sure. I think Lucas is always a very polarizing figure, and my relationship with his work has always been kind of complicated. Over the years, I think I've come to accept that at bare minimum he was very good at giving experts in their respective field the tools they needed to innovate. Ben Burtt, John Knoll, that first ILM crew, Pixar, the EditDroid team and so on got their starts under Lucas and would go on to change how movies were made and experienced. Doesn't mean he always makes good movies by any means, though, and it definitely doesn't mean his decisions were always great, especially towards the end there.

    LucasArts' fate really is a tragedy.
    A bit of an idealistic take; but one can only imagine what the current gaming landscape would be if Lucas' foothold in the industry was still here to push forward technology and concepts like they did in the 90s and early 2000's, and like how ILM still does for its own medium to this day.

    • @LuckStat
      @LuckStat  3 дня назад +1

      Definitely, their work with Euphoria (and its eventual use in GTA IV) is a great testaent to that. But I also just miss their bigger multimedia projects like Shadows of the Empire. Feels like nobody is doing it like that anymore

    I really wish that when projects like this get cancelled, the assets would get released to the public. One of my personal favorite projects that was cancelled was Prey 2. I would have loved to at least see or get to play some sort of build, even if it was rough. So much hard work done by these developers just disappears because of the suits.

      Yeah. It wouldn't surprise me if he, as an outsider, thought game development was still like in the mid 90's by the time he took interest in LucasArts again. Otherwise, I don't see how he could have thought his ever-changing demands feasible.
      A shame, really. I would have loved to see what LucasArts could have made with George's imput properly given.

    It completely baffles me that George, didn’t care at all giving hope to original main characters and pretty fucking scummy of him to force the development rearrange everything to focus on boba. Don’t get me wrong if we got it today with boba fett name on it, I wouldn’t complain, it is what it is. But I would still prefer Wilson bethal character.
