Star Wars 1313 is named for Level 1313, a ruthless criminal underground deep below the surface of the planet of the Imperial capital world, Coruscant.
The game puts players in control of a (so far) unnamed, deadly bounty hunter. He gets wrapped up in some funny business while on Coruscant and soon finds himself defending against rather hostile visits, as he uses an arsenal of exotic weaponry to hunt down his marks and uncover the truth surrounding a criminal conspiracy.
Star Wars 1313 emphasizes epic set pieces and fast-paced combat with a hero who uses human skills and gadgets, rather than preternatural "Force" powers, to make his way through this dangerous world.
Development
In collaboration with LucasFilm and ILM, LucasArts is working hard to ensure star quality performances, an epic soundtrack befitting of the Star Wars universe, and attention to detail. Actors sport full performance capture suits, including special headgear that tracks facial muscles and eye movements, to portray and translate convincing human-like performances onto 1313.

Gameplay Style
In the demos shown, the gameplay centers around cover-based shooting and platforming. There's even a glimpse of a Han Solo-esque blaster that not only could put on the heat but also fire concussive shots that could flush enemies out from behind cover.
Bounty hunters normally have a wide array of tools at their disposal. 1313's levels and enemy encounters will be designed to give all the gadgets in a bounty hunter's arsenal a chance to stretch their legs. Being resourceful and thinking quickly on one's feet are key to survival.
