Amy Hennig’s mysterious Star Wars game is still alive. That alone is enough to make long-suffering Star Wars gaming fans sit up slightly straighter. The project was first announced back in 2022 as a collaboration between Skydance New Media and Lucasfilm Games, with Hennig attached to develop a narrative-driven action-adventure game set in the Star Wars galaxy. Since then, actual details have been painfully scarce. Now there is finally a status update, even if it is not the trailer-drop many fans were hoping for.

It wasn’t dramatic overnight silence. It was something slower and stranger — like watching the galaxy shift ownership while you were still standing in it. In April 2013, Disney shut down internal development at LucasArts.In May 2013, Electronic Arts was announced as the exclusive publisher for core Star Wars console and PC games. And just like that, an era ended. But what followed wasn’t a drought. It was a recalibration.
