What would really help Star Wars w/younger people is Disney yanking the SW license the frick away from EA and give it to a company that isn't intent of vomiting out micro transaction fueled games that give gamers the finger. Back in the 90s and early 2000s there were a shitload of great SW games that greatly helped with introducing the series to younger people who might not have seen the movies. Now all we have is a Battlefront knock off that is more concerned with draining your wallet for incremental PvP upgrades, a cuple crap arse mobile games, and the very occasional Lego rehash.

Where are games like Knights of the Old Republic, X-Wing/Tie Fighter, Rouge Squadron, and Jedi Knight? EA was too damn lazy to even make games that tied directly into the newest movies other than a couple of half assed Lego games.


Disney really needs to just start LucasArts back up and make their own games b/c EA isn't helping them at all with promotion across various gaming mediums.

Even later than that.

The 2004 SW Battlefront and The Force Unleashed in 2008 were both great.

X-Wing


1993 PC/DOS version is a masterpiece and is just a fun to play as the PS versions 25 years later.
