It helps to remember that this is not at all the same LucasArts that gave us X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter or Monkey Island or Grim Fandango, but it still sucks to see those people lose their jobs.

Star Wars 1313 probably would not have been an amazing game, but as a bit Star Wars fan I'm sad to see it die. It was basically Star Wars Uncharted, at least from what they showed off last year, and I'd totally be in for a 7 hour thrill ride set in the Star Wars universe, especially since it focused on bounty hunters and the seedy side of Coruscant rather than Jedi.

Disney has said they may farm the game out to another developer to finish, but that's really unlikely to happen. Kotaku quoted a source saying chances are effectively zero the game will ever be finished. Since Disney plans to license its properties out to other game developers in the future, I hope that at least nets us some good Star Wars games. And in my wildest dreams, Double Fine can buy the rights to some of those old adventure games.
