Do you have to ask?

 

[Great Deceiver]

Best Star Wars game IMO. I played the fuck out of this during my teens.

Dark Forces was cool, so was Jedi Knight 1/2/3. I also liked the SNES action games, I guess Star Wars has had an unusual amount of good games for such a large franchise. Alas, those are all in the distant past, and now we have literal shit like the new Battlefront.

Jedi Outcast. Great gameplay, lightsaber combat is satisfying as fuck. Only big downside is the level design is pretty awful.

 

[Excidium II]

The KOTOR games are p. good (for what they are).

 

[Jick Magger]

KOTOR 1 is a pretty good bare-basic RPG. The gameplay is piss-easy and the plot is your pretty standard Star Wars fare with a plot twist you can see coming a mile away, but it nails the tone of the setting pretty well.

KOTOR 2's an interesting thought experiment, though I wouldn't really recommend it to anyone as something that's the norm for the Star Wars EU, seeing as it goes out of its way to deconstruct the binary good vs. evil dynamic that the Jedi and the Sith have going for it, as well as its effect on the wider galaxy and how people don't really care about the difference, seeing as to them it's just a war between two religious fanatics, one needlessly cruel and malevolant, and the other too aloof and indecisive to make a difference. There's also the issue that even with the restoration mods, the game is still clearly blatantly unfinished.

As people have mentioned Kyle Katarn's games and X-Wing/Tie-Fighter already, I'll say Battlefront/Battlefront 2 are very solid shooters. Battlefront 2 has a pretty decent story mode too.

Star Wars is like Brosnen!Bond: The video games were better than most of the other stuff that came out of it

 

[laclongquan]

Knights of the Old Republic 1 is a pretty good game, even though it's piss easy. I once try a barenekkid (okay, sport undies) female run just for shit and giggle AND for increased difficulty. Nearly made it, though have to wear clothes a few hard boss fights.

Havent tried KOTOR2 yet because it always hate my rigs.

[tormund]

Only big downside is the level design is pretty awful.

Both Jedi Outcast and especially first Jedi Knight had some huge and excellently designed levels...

 

[exe]

Empire at War, although the ground combat is shit.

 

[warpig]

X-Wing/Tie Fighter games and maybe Dark Forces/JK are really good imo.

 

[Blonsky]

Jedi Academy was a decent dumbed down TPS with fun light saber combat.

 

[Excidium II]

The pod racing one on the N64 is p. fun too.

 

[Stormcrowfleet]

Jedi Knight Dark Force. Totally awesome.

I really liked KOTORs since I'm a biowarefag and a star warsfag.

 

[Siveon]

I really loved that Pod Racer arcade game. That shit was the best.

 

[Tehdagah]

Fun overlooked little game.

 

[Siveon]

Neat. Surprisingly well animated. I like how the guy sped through the dialogue, that got a chuckle out of me.

 

[pippin]

Republic Commando is quite fun. The action is nice and commanding your clone bros actually helps.
It's a shame some of the people behind it went to make Halo 5

 

[Cadmus]

Republic Commando was a boring dude-bro shooter.
Kyle Katarn's games including JA were good.
Movie Battles 2 mod is the best star wars saber game ever made.
Pod Racer game was pretty nice
There was also some Ep1 TPM game that came out after the movie, it was sorta arcadey top down shooter/saberer and it was pretty good.
Battlefront 1 and 2 were fun.
Kotor 1 and 2 were good.

AoE2 reskin game was a fucking shit ass cocksucking piece of shitass shit.
SW Lego some of them were pretty fun for that type of game.
That's all I played.
I used to love Star Wars. Now it's dead. Indiana Jones is dead. Everything is shit. Fuck this gay earth.

Not sure if I would call it good and recommend it unreservedly, but Rebellion was different to say the least. This may be nostalgia speaking just a little bit. I played it when I was just getting into the Original Trilogy, and I thought the game was rather atmospheric with the music, the droid advisors, the intro, etc. I felt that it just had that Star Wars atmosphere, without any Gungans in sight. Too bad that the space battles were very unwieldy. In any case, SW strategy games are few and far between. I never played Force Commander or Empire at War, mind. Anyone know if they're any good? I did play Galactic Battlegrounds quite a bit, but it was really just an AoE2 clone, made by Ensemble even. So you would have soldiers just lining up and shooting at each other, fighters and bombers just hovering in front of their targets, etc. Not as bad as mentioned above, but quite unsatisfying in the end.

I liked Rogue Squadron, but I never played the other, less arcade-ish starfighter games like X-Wing, TIE Fighter, etc. At around the same age, I had a demo of TIE Fighter on one of those shareware discs, but it only worked for all of 10 seconds. That intro posted here in this thread looks pretty amazing, though. Doesn't say much about the game itself, but I do miss the days when graphics were so bad that they had to put at least some effort into making intros and cutscenes extraordinary. Anyway, the game is supposed to be a classic, so I'll have to try it at some point.

Masters of Teras Kasi:

Just kidding.

X-Wing
TIE Fighter
Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight
Knights of the Old Republic
Knights of the Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords
LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga (easy but fun, especially if you have kids)

The SNES trilogy of games (Super Star Wars, etc) could be fun if you turned your brain off for a while.

 

[Ninjerk]

Didn't MoTK have Mara Jade playability first or was that Mysteries of the Sith?

 

[Keldryn]

Teras Kasi was first by a year or so. Though "playable" may not be the best word to describe anything about that game.
