Hey thanks so much for watching! I make a lot of videos about cancelled video games and recently covered the history of Battlefront developer Pandemic Studios, check it out here! kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKLbgaekebaMorcsi=PHmNUtR4bWpHjskR

First the Halo MMO, now 1313. You're slowly adapting each game mentioned in Blood, Sweat, Pixels lol. In all seriousness idk if you have read it but its sequel, Press Reset, is really good. One game i think would work well for one of your videos is The Bureau XCOM Declassified, its development is so chaotic yet tragic.
@LuckStat8 ай бұрын
Definitely was hesitant to do this one because I didn't want to feel like I was repeating Schreier's work, but I felt it'd been long enough that I could give 1313 some extra context. I've got Press Reset but I haven't read it yet (maybe I'll pick it up when I'm running short on ideas 😉). XCOM Declassified is also on my list, actually! I'm not sure if it'll happen this year but it's one I've been wanting to cover

LucasArts' fate really is a tragedy. A bit of an idealistic take; but one can only imagine what the current gaming landscape would be if Lucas' foothold in the industry was still here to push forward technology and concepts like they did in the 90s and early 2000's, and like how ILM still does for its own medium to this day.

Well, not really. Lucasfilm Games (who controls the IP now) isn't a developer like LucasArts was, they're more of a manager of the license. Outlaws and 1313 cover similar subject matter, but would have been very different games set at different times.

I really wish that when projects like this get cancelled, the assets would get released to the public. One of my personal favorite projects that was cancelled was Prey 2. I would have loved to at least see or get to play some sort of build, even if it was rough. So much hard work done by these developers just disappears because of the suits.

Plain and simple. If George hadn't passed the torch to Disney, we'd be in an eternal Golden Era of Star Wars. That said, I will always maintain hope because of the success of projects like the Mandalorian, Andor, and Rogue 1.

Lucas has always been an idiot and bad filmmaker. Most good ideas werent his or he ripped them off. The prequels were a dull mess. Empire- objectively the best movie- he didn’t even direct. He doesn’t even understand the world “he created”. Because he didn’t. And went onto scupper and destroy many great ideas that could’ve put many great Star Wars experiences out there. Personally I’m sick of the whole franchise and Disney has nailed the coffin. But I was always curious about 1313 and this was a well made vid. Cheers dude
@LuckStat8 ай бұрын
I appreciate the kind words, for sure. I think Lucas is always a very polarizing figure, and my relationship with his work has always been kind of complicated. Over the years, I think I've come to accept that at bare minimum he was very good at giving experts in their respective field the tools they needed to innovate. Ben Burtt, John Knoll, that first ILM crew, Pixar, the EditDroid team and so on got their starts under Lucas and would go on to change how movies were made and experienced. Doesn't mean he always makes good movies by any means, though, and it definitely doesn't mean his decisions were always great, especially towards the end there.

To this day, I wish/hope We get Lucas' multimedia initiative of SW: Underworld, SW: 1313 (be it about a brand new bounty hunter or Boba Fett), which was supposed to tie in with the Coruscant Nights trilogy of books. Even the video game, Ragtag seems interesting. Once, StageCraft/The Volume was created, I don't understand why Kennedy & Co. didn't attempt to relaunch Lucas' series, instead of green-lighting something like, Andor. Then again, it seems Kennedy (and Disney) very much wanted to do original things, without being connected to George Lucas' plans and ideas...which makes absolutely NO SENSE. Thanks for the distillation, Man.
@LuckStat2 ай бұрын
I sort of get the impression that its more developed pieces did get used in places and repurposed at least in some way, again the Rogue One connection and I think the feel of Andor sort of started from there but yeah, it's weird nothing more has been seen. I know that writer's guilds are very protective of who made what characters and returning to those 50-odd scripts would mean paying those writers royalties (this is why ILM's John Knoll has a writing credit on Rogue One), plus that time period getting really busy in the new canon and the way it sounds like little regard was given to the budget of the episodes all kind of pile on to mean that what was actually usable would involve rewriting, repurposing and potential legal headaches for a true post-buyout Underworld project. That being said, I would give almost anything to read even a single script from that writer's room.
