They shut down LucasArts, which led to the cancellation of Star Wars: 1313.
Explanation
The statement is fundamentally accurate. LucasArts, a video game development company known for its association with the Star Wars franchise, was indeed shut down by Disney in 2013 following its acquisition of Lucasfilm and its properties. This shutdown resulted in the cancellation of all ongoing projects at LucasArts, including Star Wars: 1313, which was a highly anticipated game focusing on a darker side of the Star Wars universe. Multiple reliable sources, including Kotaku, reported that Disney informed LucasArts staff about the layoffs and the cancellation of all projects on April 3, 2013. Therefore, it is correct to say that the closure of LucasArts directly led to the cancellation of Star Wars: 1313, reinforcing that this statement is true with specific reference to the timeline of events.
Key Points
- LucasArts was shut down by Disney in 2013.
- The shutdown resulted in the cancellation of Star Wars: 1313 among other projects.
