LucasArts almost brought him back for a video game. Even though Darth Maul (seemingly) died at the end of Star Wars Episode 1, he was resurrected for Clone Wars, Rebels, and Solo: A Star Wars Story.
The company also scrapped several other projects in the pipeline, including the multiplayer shooter Star Wars: First Assault and Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 3. Of course, when LucasArts went the way of Alderaan, Star Wars 1313 wasn’t the only victim. In one swift move, Disney accidentally transformed the title into a rallying cry gamers and Star Wars fans could gather behind to decry the House of Mouse. On April 3, 2013, Disney shut down LucasArts, laid off the company’s staff, and canceled all ongoing projects, and Star Wars 1313 was one of those projects. However, Star Wars 1313 became the face of everything gamers hated about the next generation because it heralded the death of LucasArts. The game could have marked the beginning of a new generation of Star Wars games, partially because it would have been the franchises’ first M-rated title (via IGN). 1313 was supposed to take place in the subterranean underworld of Coruscant and star a young Boba Fett, long before he entered the movies - sort of like how Jango Fett received a dedicated video game of his pre-Clone Wars days. The hype and anticipation behind this game could choke a bantha. Star Wars 1313 is easily one of most infamous examples of a canceled Star Wars video game.
