Scene from Star Wars 1313

You may have heard that LucasArts was recently acquired by Disney.  That being the case, now begs the question, "What happens to LucasArts' Star Wars 1313?" Fortunately or unfortunately, depending on how you view Disney taking over LucasArts (for a reported $4 billion), Star Wars 1313 is at the complete mercy of Disney. There is speculation that this video game may be in jeopardy since Disney's focus appears to be on mobile and social games. Also Star Wars 1313 may not quite fit Disney's core culture.

According to Disney's CEO Bog Iger, Disney may be licensing out some video games for the consoles which could include Star Wars 1313.  In the meantime LucasArts is saying that business will go on as usual for now, just as if the acquisition by Disney had not occurred. Of course, the playing out of this "business as usual" scenario remains to be seen.

However, with such a large acquisition which includes questionable fates of other games, in addition to Star Wars 1313, it is very likely that decisions will have to be made by Disney regarding the future for these video games -- maybe sooner than later.

Star Wars 1313 video game has an expected release time frame of 2014. No specific release date was available at press time.
