Interesting Cancelled Star Wars Video Games

Interesting Cancelled Star Wars Games
In my last blog I talked about other game projects and I figured that I would clear some of that up here. This is some interesting cancelled star wars games. Where are all of the series games you might ask. It's a good question for another time.
Logos of many cancelled Star Wars games (Important!)

So without further ado here we go.

Project Ragtag
This is the cancelled project from Visceral that would have been canon and about a survivor of Alderaan on the run from the empire and take place on Tatooine. Officially it has been moved to a different studio, but it is likely that it won't be the same.

1313
This game was cancelled around the time of Disney buying Lucasfilm and would have been set it the underground of Coroscant. It was very anticipated and had test footage online. It had to be reworked from the ground up numerous times though. One of these iterations made Boba Fett the main character.

Battle of the Sith Lords
This game was also very far into being made and centered around playing as Darth Maul. The people who made it say that if EA wanted to they could possibly revive the game, so that is good.

Smuggler
Also called Scum & Villainy, this game would take you through being a smuggler in the Star Wars galaxy.
It was unknown if you would play as or meet Han Solo, but it was ultimately ended and like all of the games died.

Episode VII: Shadows of the Sith
Episode VII would have been the original sequel to Return of the Jedi, but in video game form. It would connect with the legends continuity with the player going as Ben Skywalker (Luke's son in legends) and training and getting new force powers to fight Jacen Solo (Han's evil son in legends) Had this happened what would the force awakens have been made? You decide

The New Emperor
After return of the Jedi the rebellion/republic wanted to know what was up with the empire. So, they sent in C-3PO as a secret spy. It is unknown if he would have been the main playable character, that would be strange. But we do know that they would have used real actors and blue-screen at some point in the game.

Outpost
Described as the Farmville of Star Wars by wookiepedia and as having "very hardcore" elements. It was a game in which you would build your own empire, it sounds pretty generic, but almost funny that this was a thing.

Dark Jedi
There is like no information about this on the internet. But it was on the page so it at least existed in development. It just sounded interesting because stuff about the Dark Jedi and all of that is making it's way into the new star wars canon and movies.

None of these games were ever made but we do have information about some of them and ideas and concepts were used in games that were made like The Force Unleashed or maybe future games, and who knows maybe some of these games could be revived. Lime and stay connected.
