Lucasfilm Files New Videogame Trademark

[img_inline src="http://cdn.themis-media.com/media/global/images/library/deriv/28/28592.jpg"]
George Lucas couldn't have picked an unluckier number than "Star Wars 1313"

Although the live action Star Wars TV series [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/115160-New-Details-Emerge-on-Live-Action-Star-Wars-TV-Show] may forever be stuck in development hell, LucasFilm might be working on a brand new Star Wars project. Recently, the massive entertainment company filed a new trademark application with the U.S. Patent office for "Star Wars 1313".

The filing covers a wide variety of goods and services, including books, toys, action figures, and most importantly, videogames, hinting at the possibility that a new Star Wars title is in the works. As to why the mysterious numbers 1313 are involved versus, hardcore Star Wars fans might notice that the numbers 1313 were part of an alias used by Boba Fett in a young adult Star Wars novel [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/CT-1313], giving a possible clue as to what the new unannounced game might be about.

It's a bit of a stretch (okay, it's an incredibly long stretch), but given the popularity of the character, I wouldn't be surprised to find out the famous bounty hunter is getting a new game. For those versed in the language of patent/trademarks, you can check out the full application here [http://tarr.uspto.gov/servlet/tarr?regser=serial&entry=85613835] to see it in full.

OR... OR... OR... it could be a Star Wars game set in 1313 Medieval Europe with magic!

Technically, that's just as likely as the Boba Fett option. This is Lucusarts we're talking about. Anything can happen...

LucasFilm is such a Slave to the Star Wars franchise aren't they?
True.. They have been milking that cash cow for YEARS..

I would like to see them do something other than Star Wars.

I hope it has nothing to do with Boba Fett. Up until now, Lucas has not had any direct interaction with the character besides his very shallow creation of it. He already drove off Karen Traviss who wrote every single thing about Madalorian's and their associated characters (even the language). But, nothing is sacred to these people I suppose. Lucasfilm will do it, and George will approve it and it will all be complete shit.

Or, it may be awesome... though this seems so unlikely.... I'll withhold judgement I guess. It may be good... maybe....

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away... that only seemed to have about a dozen people in it, so really you run into them everywhere you go, so really not so much a "galaxy" as an "office building" or "living room."

I dunno if I have any interest in a new Star Wars game at this point. Certainly not interested in any more movies...

Surprised there is anything left of this dead horse to beat. It must be a pile of blood and some giblets by now.

Also Battlefield 3 or GTFO

And now I've got this image in my head of the opening of The Munsters except instead of Herman Munster it's Darth Vader and his undead wife is being played by Natalie Portman instead of Yvonne De Carlo.

Bounty Hunter 2 Bounty Hunter 2 Bounty Hunter 2. That game might have sucked but the story was downright awesome.

If its a blanket trademarking like that then it would seem to be a new movie with a ton of tie-in crap.

Now i need to surgically remove this information from my brain. Little depresses me more than knowing that more Star Wars that is not Battlefront 3 could be made.

After being abused by Lucas all these years honestly who the fuck cares about the raped carcass named Star Wars anymore?
