==The Unmade== But, for every Star Wars game that's been made, there was another that didn't make it. Among the more notable cancelled and scrapped games: * '''Return of the Jedi: Ewok Adventure''': The very first known cancelled Star Wars game, and really only worth mentioning for that reason. Considering it would have been extremely primitive (as early 80s games generally were), and had folks playing as arguably the least liked part of the Original Trilogy, it's probably just as well we didn't get this one. * '''Star Wars: Jedi Knight III: Brink of Darkness''' (AKA Dark Forces IV): Planned sequel to ''Jedi Outcast'' and its spin-off ''Jedi Academy'', and presumably intended to be the end of Kyle Katarn's arc. Not much more is known about it; not even whether the ''player'' would get to be Kyle Katarn again - or Jaden again, or someone else altogether. It seems LucasArts by then had suffered Kyle Katarn/New Jedi Order fatigue, and ditched the project in favor of exploring new things. * '''Star Wars: Dark Squadron''' and '''Chewbacca Game''': The TIE Fighter to Rogue Squadron's X-Wing (somewhat literally, given that you'd be piloting TIE vehicles), it was ditched in favor of a Chewbacca solo game...that also got axed. So basically Lucasarts bet on the wrong horse. * '''Battlefront III''': Sequel to the 2005 Battlefront II. Came ''very'' close to coming out (arguably closer than any other game on this list), but was cancelled at the last minute in part because the studio making it was in its death-throes. A lot of what was planned/made for Battlefront III would end up being used for a spin-off game centering around "X2", a clone of some unknown Force-Sensitive. ** '''Battlefront IV''': Seemed to have been intended as a great big "What If...?" type set-up, where the events of the Star Wars saga play out very differently. Concept art shows off everything from a Dark Side Obi-Wan to a redeemed Vader who lives to an unburnt Vader to [[Awesome|an Emperor Vader]] to...well, you get the idea. * '''Knights of the Old Republic III''': Because these sorts of things generally come in threes, there was indeed a planned third Knights of the Old Republic game, but it didn't pan out. That we got SWTOR instead is just one of the reasons that game is [[Skub]]. * '''Star Wars: Battle of the Sith Lords''': A Darth Maul video game. Well, sort of Darth Maul. Actually a descendant of Maul who is basically another Maul for all intents and purposes. Why descendant? Because George Lucas wanted a Maul/Darth Talon team-up, and making the "Maul" a descendant was the best way the devs could think to do it. Sadly never materialized, so we still don't have a Darth Maul solo video game despite him being a fan-favorite for over 20 years running. * '''Star Wars: 1313''': Probably the most infamous example here. Was going to focus on a young bounty hunter (who then got changed to a young Boba Fett to better lure in the fans), going into Coruscant's scum-filled underworld. Basically billed as "''Uncharted'' meets Star Wars". Disney getting the franchise and LucasArts' demise meant this game got cancelled, getting relations between Star Wars fans and Disney [[Rage| off to a wonderful start]]. {{Star Wars}}
