Lucasfilm has dedicated multiple in-house studios and publishers to bring the famous galaxy from far, far away to everything from the Atari to the PlayStation 5.
BANTHA POODOO – ATTACK OF THE CLONES FOR GBA
There are many questionable Star Wars games. Some of them are famously bad, yet none are quite so awful as Attack of the Clones for GBA. To say it’s “developed” by David A. Palmer Productions feels… generous.
STAR WARS: REVENGE OF THE SITH FOR JAVA
Now you’re probably thinking, “Surely, Lucas Arts would learn from Attack of the Clones and not make another terrible 2D platforming brawler.” You’d be wrong! Some great games are based on Revenge of the Sith.
STAR WARS FOR APPLE II
This game was unlicensed but did receive a commercial release. And… what you see is what you get. This is quite possibly the most repetitious Star Wars game in existence.
STAR WARS BATTLEFRONT: MOBILE SQUADRONS
They’ve got huge battles that let you relive the classic Star Wars battles however you please. Mobile Squadrons isn’t that. Mobile Squadrons is whack-a-mole. If this is an FPS, then Where’s Waldo is a Sniper Elite sequel.
STAR WARS: JEDI ARENA FOR ATARI 2600
Okay, hear me out – what if Pong, but we made it clunkier and more passive-aggressive. Now make it about two Jedi Knights waving around phallic lightsabers to deflect blaster bolts. That’s Jedi Arena in a nutshell.
FLIGHT OF THE FALCON FOR GBA
At a certain point, they stop being terrible, I assure you, just not yet! We still have to talk about Pocket Studios’ Flight of the Falcon! Which, confusingly, isn’t actually just about flying the Millennium Falcon.
