Editing Star Wars Video Games (section)

==Everything Else==

* '''Empire at War''': Made by the original developers of [[Command and Conquer]], it is the most notable strategy game to have come out of Star Wars. Among other things, features three different modes of play: ground battles, space battles, and the galactic conquest map. Though ground battles are a bit meh, the space battles are great and the galactic conquest is certainly more interesting than only playing random skirmish matches. Even though it's over 15 years old, it has a very active modding community. Top mods include ''Republic at War'', which changes the game's Galactic Civil War setting to Clone Wars; ''Thrawn's Revenge'', which adds 4X features and covers a later timeframe; ''Awakening of the Rebellion'', which adds depth and overhauls ground combat; and ''Remake'', which brings the game up to modern standards in terms of visuals. Unfortunately, no great 40k mod. Currently the biggest mods in the as of 2023 are Thrawn's Revenge: Imperial Civil War, Fall of the Republic (by Thrawn's Revenge devs, which has basically replaced Republic at War as the go-to mod for Clone Wars), and the upcoming Thrawn's Revenge: Imperial Reign. Yes, Thrawn's Revenge is a big name in the modding community of this game.

* '''X-Wing (and TIE Fighter)''': A series of ''Wing Commander'' clones released in the 90's.  While badly dated today, they were the best fighter sims of their time, and if you can get past the highly primitive graphics some people still consider them to be the best to this day.  Why?  The mission scripting and AI are top notch for the genre and absolutely brutal to fight against; on all but the simplest missions you're almost guaranteed to fail the first time and eventually develop a sixth sense about the fighters threatening your objective vs the fighters just there to kill you (ignore those, learn to be hard to hit).  Interestingly, ''TIE Fighter'' is largely seen as the best of the series while the N64 era ''Rogue Squadron'' game is seen as being far more visually modern but a largely inferior sequel. Did we mention you had to use a flight stick controller basically made for these games to really do well at them? 

* '''Monopoly Star Wars''': Its Star Wars [[Monopoly]]. With 90's FMV that plays for every square you land on. On floppy disks. Considered fucking amazing at the time, it's too strange and tabletop to not mention. Also one of the last pre-Prequel things released.

* '''Super Star Wars''': A heavily modified retelling of the original trilogy (what, you don't remember how Luke chased down the Sandcrawler and murdered all the Jawas as well as their giant rat god in order to rescue R2-D2?) that was one of the ways to say "hard as fuck" by namedropping a game prior to ''Dark Souls'' existing. Amusing for the insanity of the added content in order to make a platformer sidescrolling beat'em'up as well as how neckbeardy you have to be to punish yourself trying to beat it without cheating.  Sequels were made for ''Empire'' and ''Jedi'', which slightly dialled back the difficulty.

* '''Star Wars: Yoda Stories''': A game geared for kids, released the same year as Monopoly above. Players play as Luke sometime after ''Empire Strikes Back'', although an odd alternate version where Han is sometimes free from carbonite and Boba Fett and sometimes is not. They are assigned a quest by Yoda which requires them to traverse one or more procedurally generated planets doing whatever odd crap Yoda felt was necessary, including sometimes fighting Vader. Received middling scores as a PC release, with some individuals HATING the game and using it as a benchmark for how much they hate something when comparing the two, although to be fair that is because distributors tried to sell it like a full game when in reality it's supposed to just be freebie software that came with other purchases and was meant to go with solitaire and space pinball as default games on a computer to waste time with. It has lapsed into obscurity thanks to even those reviewers largely being forgotten on the modern internet. Noteworthy for being played on a grid with simultaneous turn-based movement with all enemies and NPCs on a screen, feeling very much like a desktop game at times, since it uses the Win32 API (like Minesweeper and Solitare) and was almost certainly written in visual basic. A simple puzzle game, where getting blocked in a corner without enough space to pass the time by an idiot NPC is more dangerous than any foe.

* '''Star Wars: Episode 1: Racer''': The defining podracing game and the only thing done with Episode I that no one can complain about. Displaced the Wipeout, F-Zero, and Mario Kart franchises as the must-have console racing game during its prime just by how immersive it is. One of the best video games this franchise has ever offer. Even if you do not like the universe, you have to try it. Had a very forgettable sequel for the PS2.

* '''Star Wars: Outlaws''': Recently announced, it will be made by Ubisoft and seems to be a sort of "hybrid" Star Wars game, as it will feature everything from gunplay and stealth to dogfighting. Focuses on a Han Solo-type character and her adventures during the time of the Empire. Interestingly, a Star Wars game with a similar title and premise was one of the original ideas considered by Lucasarts during the development of what would become The Force Unleashed.
