E3 2012 Coverage: LucasArts Star Wars 1313

More exciting news from E3 2012. Gameplay footage from the next Star Wars game has been made available. Not a lot is known about the new game, titled: Star Wars 1313. What is known is that the game takes place on the city planet of Coruscant (you know, where the Emperor lives) , between the movie trilogies. The game takes place on level 1313; part of the gritty, lawless underbelly of Coruscant’s 5000 levels. We also know you play a bounty hunter, and rumors are ‘Force use’ will not be seen in this game. As the first LucasArts game since Force Unleashed 2, the graphics of the game look incredible, and they should. This game was a collaboration between Industrial Light & Magic and Lucasfilm Animation.

Here’s some gameplay footage from Machinima:

If the Force Unleashed games were your chance to play as an Anakin/Luke character, 1313 appears to be your chance at a Han Solo/Boba Fett character. Are you still interested in playing a non-Jedi character in a Star Wars game? I can’t wait for more details.
