UPDATE 2: May 6, 2012 @ 7:42 PM Est:. Star Wars 1313 now looks less likely related to a new film. Lucasfilm Entertainment Company Ltd. has filed a trademark application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office for “Star Wars 1313″. The filing hints that a new video game will be released.
ORIGINAL STORY:. Last July, talk of a film featuring Boba Fett was making the rounds on the internet after Screen Rant interviewed director Joe Johnston who said he was trying to get George Lucas to make a movie based on the Star Wars bounty hunter.
Though nothing was ever confirmed, Lucasfilm is hinting at a new project called Star Wars: 1313, according to several domain names registered on May 2, 2012, through the brand protection agency Corporation Service Company. The registrations I spotted include names like StarWars1313.com (Whois) and SW1313.com (Whois).
It’s unknown at this time, what Lucasfilm has in store for Star Wars: 1313.
The company hasn’t officially announced anything at this point, but has registered eight domains in total including: 1313starwars.com, 1313starwars.net, 1313sw.com, 1313sw.net, starwars1313.com, starwars1313.net, sw1313.com, and sw1313.net.
I’m only speculating that Star Wars: 1313 is the Boba Fett movie.
The only thing I have dug up so far on the significance of “1313” in the Star Wars universe, is that CT-1313 was once an alias used by Boba Fett on Aargau when he was confronted by a clone trooper.
UPDATE 1 at 3:37PM EST:. In addition to the eight domain names I spotted earlier, Lucasfilm registered the same names in a number of different extensions. The following names were also registered on the same day:
1313starwars.de
1313starwars.co.uk
1313starwars.fr
