Not so long ago, on a console not really all that far away, LucasArts and Traveller's Tales teamed up with the LEGO Group to create a new game that added a whole new twist onto the Star Wars franchise. That game was LEGO Star Wars for the Xbox. A sleeper hit if there ever was one, the game took the stories from Star Wars Episodes I through III and retold them, with tongue planted firmly in cheek, with the help of the little toy building blocks we all know and love. The game's success paved the way (on a road made up of more tiny plastic blocks) for the inevitable sequel, which revisited the original trilogy with the likes of Han Solo, Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia. LEGO Star Wars II also marked the first time the series hit the next-gen consoles, though admittedly it was little more than a port of the last-gen model.
NPD Group recently revealed the top five best-selling Star Wars video games of all time in the United States. Here’s the full list:
1. Star Wars: Battlefront
2. Star Wars: Battlefront II
3. LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga
4. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order
5. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
Kinda surprised that it is mostly recent games. Sad that Battlefront 2 did so well.
Humble Store has a number of Star Wars PC games on sale in celebration of the release of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. The sale ends in one week. You’ll need a free Steam account to play the games.
The future is bright for Star Wars. Star Wars: Battlefront II is finally in a good and playable state. Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order will be coming from Respawn soon and getting an official reveal. The Star Wars new movie is on the way too, with Episode IX debuting on December 20, 2019. Simply put, there's a lot ahead of us. But, what do people do while they wait?
Smacking a wookiee... is that what they're calling it nowadays? Back in my day, we called it cuddling the Taun-taun.
Massively unpopular opinion but my favourite star wars gaming moments were exploring Tatooine in the Phantom menace
