How the cancelled Star Wars 1313’s legacy might change the way Hollywood makes films

Lucasfilm has the capability to turn live actors immediately into CG characters using the graphics engine that game developer LucasArts built for its ambitious project, Star Wars 1313.

LucasArts was making Star Wars 1313, an action-adventure game, to show off the scummy underbelly of the Star Wars universe in a technically marvelous game that pushed the boundaries of graphical fidelity. Disney, however, wasn’t interested in internal development. Not long after purchasing the Star Wars property and George Lucas’s production companies, Disney pulled the plug on Star Wars 1313 and all other LucasArts projects.
