I'm not sure if they're all new, but PCAuthority.com.au has a gallery of screenshots from the Star Wars 1313 game (13 of them, of course ). It didn't say if they're actually in-game screens or from intro movie-clips though, possibly even from the trailers above ...

(They're all very dark on my Mac screen, I had to download them and tweak the brightness / contrast to see anything.)

Those pics are both gameplay and clips - to be honest when I saw this footage at E3 the quality of both the in-game and clips were soo good and smooth that it was only when the demo tester started pressing buttons on the controller that you realised it was in game.

The only way you can tell from those pics is that the third person ones are in game, but since its the same engine for both clips and real time are the same quality.

Rumour: Star Wars 1313 on hold
New film trilogy Disney's focus.

Three sources familiar with game development at LucasArts have told Kotaku that Star Wars 1313 is on hold and that the game will miss its 2013 release goal.

The sources claim development ceased on the title last October when Disney acquired LucasArts.

Allegedly the company’s focus is now on the new film trilogy and the JJ Abrams-directed Star Wars: Episode VII.

LucasArts would only say that the game hadn’t been cancelled.

"LucasArts has been working diligently to take advantage of the tremendous opportunities that the new Star Wars movies present," said a spokesperson.

"Star Wars 1313 continues production."

Star Wars 1313 was originally an open-world RPG in the vein of Knights of the Old Republic, but under former LucasArts president Paul Meegan it was transformed into an Uncharted-style action-adventure game.

The game's story allegedly reveals the identity of Boba Fett and the Bothan spies, and explains why Han Solo was working for Jabba the Hutt.

Star Wars 1313 was shaping up pretty well when we previewed it at last year’s E3, but there has been little news about it since.
