Few video game cancellations have hurt as Star Wars 1313’s did, but at least we can finally see what it looked like in motion.
The Vault, a YouTube channel dedicated to Battlefront content, recently shared alleged gameplay footage of the (regrettably) canceled Star Wars 1313. In the video, we can see bounty hunter Boba Fett leaping across Coruscant’s rooftops in pursuit of his quarry. There are massive Uncharted vibes here, which makes sense given Star Wars 1313 was going to come out when that series was at its peak.
Watch the footage for yourself below without getting choked up that none of it will ever come to fruition. There’s also a high-quality YouTube version here.

Star Wars 1313’s cancellation came in 2013 shortly after Disney laid off all of LucasArts. It was a devastating loss for everyone involved, and even the subject of Jason Schreier’s Blood, Sweat, and Pixels. Many still hope that Disney might allow another studio to complete the project, although that’s quite a pipe dream.
Anyone knee-deep in The Book of Boba Fett will undoubtedly feel some bitterness watching the footage. There’s never been a quality Star Wars title with its most-famous bounty hunter as the lead, and no, Boba Fett in Fortnite doesn’t count.
