‘Star Wars: First Assault’ Gets Trademarked

Well this is interesting. In addition to Star Wars: 1313, Lucasarts may have another title in the works in Star Wars: First Assault.

Last week, Lucasfilm (the parent company of LucasArts) secretly registered several “Star Wars: First Assault” domain names like StarWarsFirstAssault.com.  It was suspected that the names had something to do with a yet-to-be announced video game project.

More information has surfaced in recent days in the way of two new trademark applications submitted to the United States Patent and Trademark Office.  On August 23, 2012, Lucasfilm Entertainment Company Ltd. filed trademarks for “First Assault” (Serial Number: 85711610) and “Star Wars: First Assault” (Serial Number: 85711618).

Both applications cover the same goods and services which, among other things, includes “Entertainment services provided on-line by means of global and local area networks, namely, providing interactive computer games and interactive video games.”

What could First Assault be? It sounds almost like another inter-trilogy game, but what’s interesting is that there could be all sorts of product tie-ins such as toys. Chances are it’s just an interactive game, but it could be something more along the scale of Shadows of the Empire.
