Missing a few games. Rebel Assault 2, Shadows of the Empire, and Rogue Squadron all saw PC releases.

#24 needs an edit or two.

Would be nice to see updated versions of the X-Wing games with modern graphics. I'd also like to see Yoda Stories with a slight face lift made for mobile devices. The Jedi games would be interesting to see updated and rereleased, they seem like they'd lend themselves perfectly to VR

@ SwanTron I enjoyed the Rogue Squadron game, was fairly decent game. I'm surprised it wasn't on their list.

How many movies? Ep 4 a new hope, ep 5 empire, ep 6 jedi, ep 1 phantom menace, ep 2 attack of clones, ep 3 revenge of sith, ep 7 force awakens. And rogue 1 makes 8... am I missing something?
Unless you are writing about sequels.

I love it the THW ghetto advertisements permanently cover MJ's commentary 😛

^plus one to that, can't even read this article because of the ads. Seemed like it'd be a good read, but I'm not able to.

Missing quite a few games from the early 80's, like Jedi Arena and TES from Parker brothers. I also miss the Ewoks Adventure movie in the list.

Where is StarWars: Galaxies ?!!?( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars_Galaxies ).
This was the most complete StarWars online game/experience ever, with hundreds of thousands of subscribers!!
(*i was devastated when Lucas decided to shut it down in order to promote SW:TheOldRepublic which was so much more inferior in my opinion!!)

 

[powernod]

my mistake, for my previous comment. The game was there but i didn't notice it !!!

You don't get a lightsaber in Dark Forces, and there's no live-action sequences.
You're thinking of Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight.

Two major omissions from 1997-1998: Shadows Of The Empire (one of the first games for the N64 when it was introduced) and Rogue Squadron 3D.

Shadows Of The Empire was a great game.

Not even a mention of cancelled games, like 1313?

You had to mention Dark Forces's story. It is about stealing the plans of Death Star.

After disney deemed everything non-canon, they choose the topic of Dark Forces games main plot for the new movie "Rogue ONE". Unfortunately they destroyed Kyle Katarn in the process 🙁

Also Dark Forces 2 : Jedi Knight had AI and multiplayer support and was hell lot fun to play.

The Squad you are commanding in Star Wars Republic Commando has a cameo in Clone wars, so it is canon even with Disney.

Force Unleashed tells the story of Starkiller, which leads to rebellions insignia. Light Side ending was canon at the time, with disney it is not.

Star Wars KOTOR II Page is wrong.

Yeah, the Galaxies entry was rather anemic for how expansive the game was. not to mention the controversy it generated with the CU and NGE updates.

This is the reason I haven't been stoked about Rogue One. It just made no sense to me to toss out all the EU stuff. And in this day of movie series and trilogies, why would you not want to use the Kyle Katarn and Jan Ors storyline? You could easily get three movies or more out of Dark Forces, Jedi Knight, Jedi Outcast, and Jedi Academy.

One of the best game
