Amy Hennig is a well-known name in the gaming industry. She has worked on various popular projects, but undoubtedly, her best and most popular creation was theUnchartedseries. Under Visceral Games, Hennig was working onProject Ragtag, a game set in theStar Warsuniverse. Unfortunately, Visceral Games was shut down, and we never got more ofProject Ragtag.
In one of her past interviews, Hennig explained how creating a game based on theStar Warsstory was very similar toUncharted. However, she took a different approach to this one thing that would’ve stirred some debates.
Amy Hennig Decided To Cut Some Villains From HerStar WarsGame
In 2019, Amy Hennig appeared for an interview with Eurogamer. During the conversation, Hennig talked about her time at Visceral Games while working onProject Ragtag.Asthe creator of theUnchartedseries, she felt that the genre of theStar Warsfranchise was very similar toUncharted’s, but she had a different approach to this one thing,
I realized a couple of things: if we were going to make a Star Wars story, a lot of it would look and feel like Uncharted because it’s in the same genre. But we needed to cut away to the villains, for one thing, which was something I never allowed us to do on Uncharted. If you look at those films, you don’t really cut away from what Indy knows. There’s a few exceptions but you’re more or less with him the whole time. And Star Wars, not only do we cut between villains but we also cut between multiple protagonists.

By taking this approach, Hennig would’ve certainly caused some debates among theStar Warscommunity. However, it doesn’t mean that the game would’ve been a failure. The success of theUnchartedseries proves that Hennig is an experienced individual in this field.

The game was supposed to be a linear game about a large-scale heist, taking place after the events ofStar Wars IV: A New Hope. In an official statement, EA claimed that they needed to pivot the design “to deliver an experience that players will want to come back to and enjoy for a long time to come.“
Amy Hennig’s take on aStar Warsgame would’ve been certainly exciting. We can only hope that in the future, some major video game decides to pick up this project with Hennig. Do you think herStar Warsgame would’ve been a success? Share your views in the comments!
