Star Wars Lightsaber Battle Game

Star Wars Saga 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

revenge of the sith xbox 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

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

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

sw-tfu-child-starkiller-meets-vader

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

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

Star Wars Starfighter Opening Scroll

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

Qu Rahn, jedi master

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

Dark Forces Game Review

Dark Troopers

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

Why KOTOR and SWTOR are Expanded Universe Canon

ood-bnar-swtor

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

Clones & Cloners

Omega Squad Clone Trooper

In the Star Wars Galaxy, Kaminoans are the most famous cloners but not the only ones.  The Clone Armies of the Republic too, are famous. But again, they are not the only clones. Clones: Jango Fett clones: While the first clones were born on Kamino and trained by mostly Mandaloreans, later clones were born on … Read more
