Star Wars Lightsaber Battle Game
The Lightsaber Battle Game is not particularly canon to any ‘verse. It might be S Canon in a few places. There are a few areas in levels where you are operating as an independent character you name, but most of the time, you are replaying bosses fought by the heroes, usually Obi-Wan. But it is … Read more
Revenge of the Sith Game
The Revenge of the Sith game based on the movie is an interesting bit of alternative universe. It was developed at the same time as the film, and features alternative choices that didn’t make the movie. Some are mentioned in the novelization by Matthew Stover, or at least indicated. Other bits you can see in … Read more
Jedi Starfighter
This game I played on the XBox and really enjoyed it. Jedi Starfighter is a sequel to Starfighter, so in addition to flying as Jedi Master Adi Gallia, you also fly Nym’s ship, as in the previous game. It’s set right before and during the Clone Wars. Jedi Starfighter Introduction Adi-Gallia and Saesee Tiin test … Read more
Classic Battlefront 2
The original Battlefront 2 is considered one of the best shoot em up games in the expanded universe. It’s a well deserved view. In the game you basically start as the good guy, being a clone serving the Republic, only to end up the bad guy as a Stormtrooper without even knowing it. One of … Read more
The Force Unleashed Continuity and Review
It’s easier to say with the first part of the Force Unleashed game, since the second was a cliffhanger that went unfinished. The first part storywise is excellent. The game mechanics are (naturally) overpowered, and it’s clear that it was designed for a controller, not a keyboard. There are variances in game versions, but the … Read more
Mysteries of the Sith Lore & Review
This is an expansion to Dark Forces 2 Jedi Knight, but by modern standards, Mysteries of the Sith might be its own game. It features Kyle Katarn and Mara Jade. Unfortunately, neither it nor any of the following games got the novella or audio drama treatment of the original Dark Forces or Jedi Knight games. … Read more
Star Wars Starfighter
This prequel era Starfighter game starts right before the Trade Federation Blockade of Naboo and is a blast to play. There are three starfighters flown throughout the main story involving a pirate, free trader and a Naboo pilot. While a blast to play it had a learning curve as I am not the best pilot … Read more
Jedi Knight Dark Forces 2 Rookie Review
This game is still a blast decades after release. Jedi Knight Dark Forces 2 graphics may be dated but they don’t diminish the challenge one bit, and they are a step up from the predecessor. This one did include more save options to it. The story is loads of fun and so is the gameplay. … Read more
Clone Wars Video Game 2002 XBox Review
This game is a challenge but has a great story. It’s quite a thrill to defeat it at all, even for one like me, who fails at hitting bonus goals. The Clone Wars video game is a blast if you love playing as a heroic Jedi Knight, flying fast vehicles and enjoy the Tales of … Read more
Dark Forces Game Review
Dark Forces introduces Kyle Katarn and an amazingly cathartic, immersive game that includes new challenges and the foundation for a new era of Star Wars games. That new era in turn ties in (as usual) with the rest of the content. At this beginning level, we see in the movie tie ins while it sets … Read more
Star Wars the Old Republic AKA SWTOR Base Game Review
This site is based on Star Wars expanded universe, and stories are my favorite thing. So naturally this is what I focus on in SWTOR. SWTOR itself is purely based on this universe. It combines all the best action, storytelling and humor just as the movies did. Origin Story SWTOR originally called these classes and … Read more
Why KOTOR and SWTOR are Expanded Universe Canon
Incompatibility with Disney’s Timeline There are several reasons why the very founding of the KOTOR and SWTOR games prevent them ever fitting into the Disney’s new canon. When Disney’s LFL announced they would not be continuing the old Expanded Universe, they claimed several things. One that all new stories would be equal in the new … Read more
