    Nailed it. I fell in love with X-Wing , and Tie Fighter was even better. The only thing I would change is having them 1-2.

  • Donald Baum Jr.

    Star wars galaxies, (before they tried to make it more like World of Warcraft) best game ever.

    • Robert Rees

      Damn right

    • jeremy aldridge

      and i’m still playing swg, hehe.

  • Ender Dreams

    Ummm. How did the Force Unleashed not make the list?

    • Andy

      Wasn’t that complete of a Star Wars game experience to me. No multiplayer kinda kills its chances. It was innovative though, no doubt!

      • DarthDanMan

        The PSP version had an excellent 4 player versus mode!

  • Ender Dreams

    SWBF2 was phenomenal as well.

  • DragonIroh

    Where’s Jedi Academy? Best lighsaber combat mechanics of any game.

  • Rob H

    1) Knights of the Old Republic
    2) Empire At War
    3) Battlefront 1+2
    4) Jedi Outcast
    5) X-Wing series

    Assuming this is in ascending order (1=10th, 10=1st) I don’t understand how the battlefront series could be 10th. I haven’t played all the other games, its true, but definitely its better than the lego starwars series, and I feel like its at least top 5, if not 3rd (1st sounds interesting, and KOTOR is amazing and deserves to be up there).

  • Phillie Em

    Shadows of the Empire was awesome, big chunk of my childhood right there.

  • Stef Smurph Murphy

    I cannot believe Star Wars Pod Racer was missed out on this list. That game gave me absolutely hours of fun!

  • Rik Bailey

    X-wing vs tie-fighter with the balance of power add on was the best star wars flight sim by far. Taking on a super star destroyer in a b-wing used to be epic.

  • Matt Fry

    While it’s a good list, I’m very, very surprised you put Star Wars Rebellion on the worst list. That’s ludicrous! And you say we were vindicated with Empire at War? That was a horrible, horrible game! The fact you had a very small limit of units you could build in space battles really distances me from it. Bad graphics aside, it was a pretty tough game on hard and the fact they made the RebEd editor changed up the game.

    But I did really enjoy X-Wing. What a great game. I finished every mission on that one and took me a very long time but it was dang fun. Too bad I couldn’t play it for a while. Thanks for that link to run the game. I’ll have to give that a shot.

  • Cade McDaniel

    Why isn’t Star Wars Republic Commando mentioned?? :(

  • RyThax

    Pod racer and empire at war. Forgotten. Thank god the old republic didn’t make the cut….

  • Robert Rees

    For the sake of humanity will someone please bring back Star Wars Galaxies and dump The Old Republic in the garbage masher, on or off the detention level, where it belongs.

    • jeremy aldridge

      you can still play swg, buddy.

    Star Wars Trilogy arcade hooks me every time I see it. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars_Trilogy_Arcade)

  • Ryan

    Ok Wait a second, how can Force Unleashed not be on this list?

  • el_dav0

    Anyone else ever play x-wing Alliance? that’s a fantastic game.

  • Randy

    KOTOR should be #1 period. It is truly one of the greatest masterpieces ever created. Along with the 2nd game these two deserve to be preserved in the national archives. If you have not played these two and are a Star Wars fan get to work!

  • Austin Beckstrom

    I’m glad TIE Fighter made it to #1, otherwise I was going to have to throw my computer. ;)

  • Keating

    The force unleashed was an amazing game. Absolutely stunned it’s not here

  • Benji

    Super Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back SWPMSS takes you to the last level of the game you’re welcome.

  • happy trees

    Star wars galaxies, pre-CU/ngu, was the best video game ever. Hands down.

  • James Vetzal

    Good list, totally nailed the top 3, and battlefront as a whole was better than it’s sequel (most of the best maps were not around in 2)
    Except that the pc version of 2 was really easy to mod with every level from the first plus way more. Loved the series, can’t wait for the new installment
