Though The Complete Saga wasn’t released until a couple of years later, it is the definitive version of the original game, plus it includes the second game, Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy. Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga – The success of Lego Star Wars, back in 2005 is pretty much the reason why there’s a new Lego game every six months. So, if you disagree, feel free to list yours in the comments. Just about everyone has their favorites, and with so many titles over such a long period of time, finding consensus in identifying the five best single-player Star Wars games is unlikely. Some of them are direct movie tie-ins, while others chart their own course, and keep in mind that the advances in gaming technology over the last 30 years are truly staggering. There are close to a hundred different Star Wars video games and expansions, dating all of the way back to 1982. The company will remain a partner of Lucasfilm Games - but no longer with exclusive rights.With the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, it’s as good a time as any to take a look at Star Wars video game history, and remember the best Star Wars single-player games of all time. That does not mean that EA is completely out of the picture. The publisher and its development studio Massive Entertainment is developing a new open world RPG set in the Star Wars universe. To achieve this, the old Lucasfilm Games label is being revived - not as an active developer, but as a licensing company. Instead, the company is opening up the IP to more developers. It is no big surprise then that Lucasfilm has little interest to continue with the exclusivity deal.
Its successor, Star Wars Battlefront II, had a disastrous launch with pay-to-win lootboxes, a feature EA hastily removed after mass fan-outcry. Star Wars Battlefront was criticized for lack of single-player content and the expensive season pass. And some of the games pushed out by EA were surrounded with controversies. EA had more in the development pipeline, such as Visceral's "Project Ragtag", a single player RPG cancelled in 2017. There have been a total of four EA Star Wars games - Star Wars Battlefront (2015), Star Wars Battlefront II (2017), Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order (2019) as well as Star Wars Squadrons (2020).įor such a huge IP, a disappointing amount of games. Nearly a decade later, the deal with EA turned out to be semi-productive. No non EA-game would be set in the extensive Star Wars universe at least until 2024. That deal gave EA the exclusive access to the IP, meaning no one else would get a license. Future Star Wars games, outside of casual titles, would be developed by Electronic Arts (EA). Thus, the decision was made to shatter the decades old LucasArts, formerly known as Lucasfilm games. Disney, the then new owner of Lucasfilm, had no business being in the AAA game development. In April 2013, Lucasfilm announced the closure of LucasArts, its game development division.
