    Star Wars Jedi: Fallen order may be a mouthful of a title, but it looks to bring a new hope for quality Star Wars video games. Of course, we say that with every Star Wars game, especially here in the EA Star Wars era, but Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order genuinely seems to be steering the ship in the right direction, and may end up atop the list of the best Star Wars games. Throughout the evolution of Star Wars games, Star Wars video games has spanned different genres and console generations, allowing players to wield their own lightsaber and battle Darth Vader, or fly an X-Wing through the perilous Death Star trench.
    However, since Lucasfilm was purchased by Disney and the rights went to EA, Star Wars gaming has been in a sorry start. On the eve of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and hot on the heels of The Mandalorian, Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order seems like the perfect game to tide us over until Star Wars Rise of Skywalker is unleashed this December. Like every Star Wars trailer, the Jedi Fallen Order trailer enlightened us on the Dark Souls influence in this new Star Wars game, and as it comes closer to release, it’s clear that it may be the Star Wars video game to fit our gaming needs.

    The old Star Wars Battle Front II is probably still my favourite shooter

    While yes Knights of the Old Republic 2 was shipped unfinished it's still one of my favorite games of all time to this day. It's characters, story, and atmosphere were top notch. I really wish they'd FAITHFULLY remake KOTOR 1 and 2 and include the unfinished content to the Dark Lords.

    Rogue Squadron for N64 is and probably always will be my favorite Star Wars game.

    My favorite is still Knights of the Old Republic- I had never played an RPG on that level before and it changed my life. Bastila also catapulted me into puberty I think. Special love for 64's Racer though, as that was the first video game that my parents ever let me own for myself.

    LUCASARTS was a gem. Honestly, George Lucas supporting adventure games is kind of amazing and I keep forgetting it. The Monkey Island series, Grim Fandango, and Sam and Max are some of the all time greats

    I love this video! But it really bugs me at the fact that you didn’t even mention that they changed Battlefront II it’s good now! I constantly have to explain why my favorite Star Wars game is that “cashgrab of a game” cuz barley anybody talks about how the game is good now, they changed it!

    Andrew is cute as ever. The Video games were what kept Star Wars alive during the hiatus between the prequels and Disney aquisition. We also got some of the best games during that period.
    Sadly, after Disney took over both the movies and videogame quality dropped substantially. I'm really hoping Jedi Fallen Order turns out amazing since i've lost all interest in the current movie sequel trilogy.

    How the hell did you miss jedi power battles? Even the phantom menace game was great! You missed starfighter and jedi starfighter and star wars clone wars and the lego star wars games.

      The Mandalorian
      Kenobi Series
      Boba Fett Series
      Ahsoka Series
      EA announcing that a bunch of new games are coming out
      Lego Star Wars: the Skywalker saga
      Bad Batch series
      If you think the franchise is dead your as blind as Kanan Jarrus.
