For many Star Wars faithful, bringing up the canned Boba Fett 1313 title instantly evokes some painful memories. The game, which was set to start the beloved bounty hunter from the original movie trilogy, was revealed over a decade ago but was canceled quite soon after its reveal, leaving fans of the franchise to wallow and think what if. Now, a new Starfield mod allows players to carry out their dreams of exploring space as the famed bounty hunter, along with his infamous pistol.

However, the best part about Starfield continues to be its hyper-dedicated modding community. Crozzbow uploaded a mod for Starfield, adding arguably the most beloved Star Wars character, Boba Fett, with his armor based on a canceled LucasArts and Disney collaboration.

There’s no doubt that Starfield has experienced one of the more rocky launches for Bethesda Game Studios. However fans have felt about the space game, debating its heavily debated story and RPG elements, Starfield’s public perception has been on the rise recently. The RPG got its biggest patch yet, improving performance and adding a few gameplay updates like planetary maps.

Boba Fett 1313 was initially revealed at E3 2013 when in-person gaming events were all the rage. A trailer for the game dropped, making die-hards of the franchise absolutely lose their minds that Boba Fett was finally getting his (at the time) first stand-alone project. Sadly, the game never saw the light of day and was canceled by the involved parties soon after. However, that hasn’t stopped Crozzbow from fulfilling their dream of roaming space as Boba.

Their mod, available here, adds Boba Fett’s 1313 armor, helmet, jetpack, side cape, long cape, and custom hat, and, of course, his famous blaster weapon can be obtained through the Crimson Fleet questline. The high-quality details of each piece of armor are genuinely incredible and clearly took a long time to polish up.

Should've been called Star Wars 1312

To paraphrase Miyamoto: A delayed game is eventually good, a cancelled game is great forever.

People's obsession with 1313 is bordering on the fanatic.

It's Star Wars and video games, two of the most fanatical fanbases in history.

But also 1313 looked like it was gonna be fucking awesome only to get canned. Just like the original Prey 2, the Darth Maul game, Hellraid, and so many others.

If Disney made 1313 today, every measurement of time would be given in parsecs, Boba would never shoot at anybody before sitting on a bench and getting shot at dozens of times, half the time with the shooter missing point-blank, the other half pinging off the beskar, only to end with Boba regretfully shooting his opponent after giving them time to say "Maclunkey!" into the camera. There would be a musical number before, during and after each such exchange.

Really bummed out when they cancelled 1313, I think it was part of the restructuring when Disney bought Lucasfilm.

I still watch the ten minute E3 video occasionally because I still think it looks great. Was always hoping it might get revived but I remember the news when someone noticed that Lucasfilm/Disney allowed the 1313 trademark to expire.

Another lost game. Don't get me started on Indiana Jones either. 😂
