10 Ways To Make The Perfect Star Wars Video Game
1. Capture The Essence Of Star Wars
If you flick through the Star Wars articles on WhatCulture; you'll find lists of the best and worst entries in the Star Wars video game history books, but a very small minority of these titles actually captured the essence of what makes Star Wars brilliant.
To categorise Star Wars as sci-fi is hellishly cruel and incredibly short sighted, because it has drama, action, politics, thriller elements and more. Who can't say they weren't terrified of Darth Vader when they first saw the Sith Lord on screen? Why isn't he painted out as a scarier character in the games?
Oh yeah, because he's far too popular, and rejects the Dark Side at the end...
The essence of Star Wars is in the music, the dialogue, the cinematography, the story, the format and its ever-expanding universe. Embrace everything and we're well on the way to creating the ultimate Star Wars game. Get John Williams and Lawrence Kasdan on board too, they'll explain everything the developers need to do.
