Star Wars: First Assault
There’sStar Wars: Battlefront III. There’sStar Wars 1313. There’s even thatDarth Maul game. But no one mournsStar Wars: First Assault.
According to the YouTube description, “This was a tech beta ran on Xbox Live a while back before the game was canned. The beta only had this one level and i couldn’t spawn bots or add another player.”
First Assaultwas, ironically, meant to beStar Wars‘ answer toCall of DutyandBattlefield. It was planned as a digital multiplayer shooter that would lead into an eventualStar Wars: Battlefront IIIby winter 2015 (hello!) and reportedly cameas close as $10,000 in certification feesaway from a public beta in winter of 2012.
Then Disney took over LucasArts, putting all projects on hold, and EA ended up with 10 years of theStar Warslicense by May 2013.
