LucasArts has been shut down by its parent company, Disney, after months of speculation. 150 people are out of a job and the games they were working on -Star Wars 1313 and Star Wars: First Assault- are effectively done for. Now, Disney is publicly saying their licenses could go to another publisher or developer, but it's unlikely those two games will ever see consumers.

So what was Star Wars 1313 going to be about in its final iteration? Is there still a chance we can play Lucas titles? And lastly, is it possible there is a silver lining to this?
