LucasArts have decided to shift their focus from internally developed games, such as next-gen title Star Wars 1313, in favor of licensing out the Star Wars property to third party developers. The development teams behind both Stars Wars 1313 and unconfirmed Battle Assault have both been laid out following this decision, according to Kotaku.Read More

It was bound to happen sooner or later. A franchise that knows no bounds, Angry Birds, is expanding its force by teaming up with Star Wars for a crossover. While it has been given a November 8th release date, the platforms aren’t all confirmed at the moment. But we will update you when we know.

CMO of Rovio, Peter Vesterbacka, had this to say about the crossover:
This is the best Angry Birds game we’ve ever done. It’s the best parts of Angry Birds with all new cutting-edge gameplay set in in a galaxy far, far away. As a big Star Wars fan myself, I’m really excited about this new universe. The Force is definitely strong with this one.
Colum Slevin, Head of Studio Operations for Lucasfilm, stated his opinions about the crossover as well:
Both Star Wars and Angry Birds share the instant and irresistible appeal of hands-on fun. People seem to instinctively know what to do when handed a lightsaber or a bird in a slingshot, so this is a natural combination.
So I guess the real question is: What do you all think about this? Too much of a good thing is a bad thing? Or the more birds the better? It does have me wondering what’s next for Angry Birds. Perhaps LEGO’s or Angry Birds Marvel Universe….

While not officially announced, the evidence is clear that there is indeed a game called Star Wars: First Assault and that it may be heading to Xbox Live Arcade.
The above image has leaked its way onto the internet, but LucasArts still has nothing to say about it. IGN reached out to LucasArts and they all but denied it, stating “It is an exciting time at our company right now, however we don’t have any announcements at this time.”
If that’s not enough proof, it was also trademarked.
So what Star Wars: First Assault actually is, we have no idea. But it’s Star Wars and it’s a video game…so that’s enough to catch our attention! What do you all think it is? A spiritual successor to Battlefront…? We can only hope.

While Star Wars 1313 hasn’t been given a platform or release date, that hasn’t stopped LucasArts from releasing more information about the upcoming game.
I’m hoping the playable character is in fact Boba Fett, LucasArts hasn’t confirmed or denied that rumor yet. Star Wars 1313 looks like a next-gen title, but recent games have looked just as good – so who knows!
Decend Into The Underworld:
Again,Star Wars 1313 has no confirmed release date or platform. When Broken Joysticks knows, you will know! So stay tuned here for more information as it becomes available.
