From what little I've played the SNES trilogy is good but hard enough that it may cause controller tosses.

Shadows of the Empire was GREAT.  I still pop that in from time to time.  It has aged but is still enjoyable

Ep. 1 Racer was SWEET!  I honestly thought I was one of the few people who liked it.

I have been searching for a copy of Rogue Squadron on GC or 64 because I heard it was good but never played it.  You guys have convinced me that I must get a copy.

I played a bit of Battlefront II for Xbox and that seemed to be pretty damn good as well.

Oh yeah!  I also forgot about Star Wars Arcade for the 32X!  That's a pretty solid title.

For me, nothing beats the original Star Wars vector arcade game... there are some decent home conversions of it, but you really need that awesome controller to get the full effect.

Also, I really dig Knights of the Old Republic on the original Xbox.

And all the Lego Star Wars games... and the X-Wing/Tie Fighter games on PC.

I remember in the 90s when I got to play the sit down arcade game.  Had to be of the first movie due to the death star run at the end.  It was like a religious experience.  I dontremmeber anything else from that family vacation as well as getting to play that arcade while visiting some them park at Dallas tx.

Sure that light savor stand up arcade game that came out when episode 1 or 2 was neat, but it didn't suck you in like the way some older arcade games could.

Am I the only one who likes "republic commander" for the Xbox?


Pffhhhh f you guys I am taking my ball and going home.  I'm telling my mom not to let me play with you anymore so THERE!

But seriously try republic commander it's very good and to me over looked generally for the more well known knights of the old republic games from its time.

It's sad that so few of you seem to have played X-Wing, Tie Fighter, or X-Wing Alliance.  They're excellent space flight "simulators."  The main gameplay mechanic was the ability to shunt energy between thrusters, shields, and weapons.  The games had a fantastic UI, great controls (with a flightstick), and a definite lean towards arcade more than simulation.  The CD versions also had excellent voice acting.  X-wing is a pretty early game that suffers from repetitive missions and some janky limitations (a space station is like 4 cargo containers roped together, lol) but Tie Fighter is beyond excellent and features a story campaign starring Admiral Thrawn, the only good character to emerge from the shit pile that is the extended universe.  Alliance was a return to form after the misstep of the vs. game, but Tie Fighter still gets top billing as the best of the Star Wars flight sims.

I honestly can't recommend Tie Fighter enough.

If you find you really like space flight sims, there's also the Wing Commander series and Descent: Freespace 1 and 2.  Freespace especially is just a shameless rip-off of Larry Holland's games but does bring something new to the table with branching story paths from mission failures.  Good stuff!  I guess we will also have Star Citizen some time in the distant future...

N64 Rogue Squadron, Battle for Naboo, and GC Rogue Squadron 2 were also very good games.
