For most gamers, their most recent memory of Star Wars came in the form of Star Wars Kinect and seeing Han Solo attempting to shake his Corellian booty. After some intense therapy they may be ready to give the franchise another shot, especially after such classics as Tie Fighter, Rogue Squadron or The Force Unleashed coming from the Star Wars mythos. E3 brought the latest from LucasArts with Star Wars: 1313 (with absolutely no mention of Kinect, Move or waggle controls within a mile of it).
Star Wars: 1313 is named for the subterranean metropolitan level of Coruscant where the player will be exploring. The player will take on the role of a bounty hunter in this cover-based third person shooter game. While there are still many details left to be revealed, there has been a batch of footage released from E3 featuring a cut-scene , combat gameplay and an action set piece designed to show various aspects of the game.
Check out the three trailers after the break.

Having worked in both advertising and television, John is a lifetime writer always being a part of the creative process. John knows the television world between his experience on being involved with the production process of over two hundred episodes of prime time tv and being a self admitted media whore.
Yes he has a weakness for trash tv, Michael Bay-esque action movies and the raunchy teen comedy as well. Never try to debate the Original Star Wars Trilogy versus Star Trek with him because the Holy Trilogy always comes out on top. Having partied with movie stars to Playboy centerfolds, John is somehow always able to find someone’s inner geek.
The simplest rules that John lives by is to have fun and doing what makes him happy. There’s no shame in being a geek. Play Halo, read Spider-Man and proudly display the whole series of Neon Genesis: Evangelion on your DVD rack. And most importantly, make sure to read his weekly comic book pull list reviews at The Flickcast.
