It’s not exactly news that there’s a new Star Wars game coming. (Guess what: There is!) But the name for which Lucasfilm has filed for a trademark actually is kinda interesting, in a speculation-y way.
The company has applied for a trademark on the name “Star Wars 1313” for an upcoming video game. This was spotted by fusible.com, who speculate that the game could star Boba Fett, given that “CT-1313” was an alias that he once used on Aarganu.
You know what? While this is all rampant! speculation!, I actually think that a Boba Fett game would be great. That’s largely because as much as I dig The Force, it does seem to be getting a bit played out in the video game setting. The Force has been unleashed one time too many, methinks.
A Dark Forces-like FPS or 3rd person cover-shooter starring Boba Fett, featuring rocket-packs and non-jedi-specific storytelling and moral grey areas? I’m into it.
Then again, it’s Lucasarts, and we all know how they love toā¦ wellā¦ ruin things. So, I’m not holding my breath for excellence. We’ll see.
