Disney's acquisition of the Star Wars franchise was bittersweet for many fans. On one hand, there would be more Star Wars movies — yay!

On the other hand, Star Wars projects like the Star Wars: Underworld live-action series and the Star Wars 1313 game from Lucasarts got the axe.

However, just because those two projects have been cancelled doesn't mean they might not come back in some form or another. According to Star Wars steward Kathleen Kennedy at a recent Star Wars: The Force Awakens press event, Disney doesn't want to throw out all the work done on the projects.

Slash Film asked what would be done with the hundreds of scripts written for the live-action series, which resulted in Kennedy responding with "... interestingly enough, that's an area we've spent a lot of time, reading through the material that [George] developed is something we very much would like to explore. And there was 1313 the game ..."

When asked about the concept art for Star Wars 1313 released after the game's demise, a game that was revealed to star a young Boba Fett, Kennedy said Disney may be interested in using the material in the future.

"... So our attitude is, we don't want to throw any of that stuff away," she says. "It's gold. And it's something we're spending a lot of time looking at, pouring through, discussing, and we may very well develop those things further. We definitely want to."

From Kennedy's words, it sounds like the chances of 1313 coming back as a game might be slim, but that it wouldn't be surprising if we saw ideas from the cancelled project appear in future films, comics or books. For example, it's long been rumored that one of the Star Wars Anthology films may revolve around Boba Fett. If that's the case, the film could use ideas from 1313. It's worth noting that Star Wars: Underworld was said to feature a young Han Solo, a concept that will be turned into a Star Wars Anthology film.

Don't expect 1313 or Underworld to return anytime soon, but we may just get a glimpse at what they could have been in the years to come.
