My Favorite Star Wars Games

To celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Empire Strikes Back (and more specifically, the Star Wars Universe), here are my top Star Wars Video Games over the years...
1
This was the first Star Wars game I ever played. Even though the graphics were simple vector lines, the first person view from the X-Wing cockpit had me hooked. So many quarters were donated to this game.
2
Star Wars for everyone. Great level design intermixed with settings from all six movies made this an instant classic. Somehow, being blasted into tiny little Lego pieces over and over again is infinitely less frustrating than dying in other games.

Doom came out when I was in college and it pretty much cemented my interest in first person shooters. Matching the first-person shooter genre with the Star Wars universe was the perfect combination.
4
I bought a GameCube because of this game alone. The Star Wars universe with "next gen" sound and graphics... What more could you ask for? And I'm always a sucker for a good "arcade flight sim"
5
There are few things more satisfying in gaming than picking up a storm trooper using a force power and hurling him towards a group of enemies. This game makes that possible.

Despite mixed reviews about The Phantom Menace movie, just about everyone agreed that the pod race scene was incredible. This is pretty much just a racing game, but throw in the great sound effects and sense of uncontrollable speed and I was hooked.
7
The next logical step for a first person shooter is large-scale multiplayer first person shooter. Not a lot of innovation here, but a great way to get into a big Star Wars game with lots of friends.
8
Once again... for any game that is good, it seems like the easiest way to make it better is to give it a "Star Wars Make-over". In this case, they took everything I enjoyed about Age Of Empires, and turned the Trebuchets into AT-AT Walkers!

Everything great about Dark Forces, but with a lightsaber this time!
10
There's really nothing too spectacular about this game, but it was one of the first Star Wars flight-combat games to come out for "Next Generation" game consoles (being the PS2 and Xbox at the time). It was really fun to fly the bright yellow Naboo fighter right after Episode I was released. However after some time to reflect, there's really nothing very memorable about this game.

I'm a technology early adopter. I thoroughly enjoy geeking out with the latest hardware, software and electronics. I probably have as much fun setting up, tweaking, and configuring systems as I do actually … more

Interesting, you have two of the Dark Forces series I think are the weaker two. The original Jedi Knight and Jedi Academy are just stellar games. Jedi Knight II has some good aspects, but it's actually the only game to give me motion sickness, so it's hard to love.
Lego Star Wars shouldn't work as well as it does, although much of the joy comes from the original trilogy. It's fantastic; the prequel games merely playable. Kind of like the movies.
And KOTOR and KOTOR 2 are certainly amongst the best, though if you don't like RPGs, yeah, can't really say they're not that.
