Itās not exactly news that thereās 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 āStar Wars 1313ā for an upcoming video game. This was spotted by fusible.com, who speculate that the game could star Boba Fett, given that āCT-1313ā 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. Thatās 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? Iām into it.
Then again, itās Lucasarts, and we all know how they love toā¦ wellā¦ ruin things. So, Iām not holding my breath for excellence. Weāll see.
