Trivia

Known cancelled games

• Star Wars: Ewok Adventure was planned to be released by Parker Brothers for the Atari 2600 in 1983 but was cancelled. However a prototype of the game still exists.
• Hal Barwood, the game designer behind titles such as Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, had an idea of a Star Wars adventure game that "was going to involve a lot of very expensive pre-rendered 3D sets", but since Grim Fandango (also utilizing a lot of pre-rendered sets) was already in development at LucasArts, the president of the company felt uneasy about doing two games that way and the idea was buried.
• A third-person action-adventure game titled Star Wars: 1313 was in development in the early 2010s, and was revealed publicly at E3 2012. The game was cancelled when LucasArts' development team was closed by The Walt Disney Company on 3 April 2013.
• A first-person shooter with a Mandalorian protagonist was in development by Respawn Entertainment in the early 2020s, but was cancelled on 28 February 2024.
