The game is set during the original Star Wars trilogy and recreates battles that take place during those films, and is a sequel to Star Wars: Rogue Squadron and Star Wars Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader. Rebel Strike added the ability for players to leave their ships to participate in ground battles as well as enter and pilot other vehicles during certain missions. There is intense gameplay and the introduction of foot missions to the series. Not to mention great controls

19. Star Wars: The Old Republic (2011) - Windows

Continuing on from the groundwork laid by SWG, Star Wars: The Old Republic is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game based in the Star Wars universe. Rumoured to be most expensive video game ever developed. the game had 1 million subscribers within three days of its launch, making it the world's "fastest-growing MMO ever". However, in the following months the game lost a fair share of its subscriptions, but has remained profitable. The game has since adopted the free-to-play business model. For the first time players can explore the rich and vivid world of the Old Republic unlike ever before: the various missions are open-ended play make this still awesome. It is free now, there is no excuse not to give this a try.

18. Star Wars: Battlefront (2004) - PlayStation 2, Windows, Xbox, Mac

Star Wars: Battlefront is the first third-person video game based on battles in the Star Wars film series. Battlefront features several locales from major Star Wars battles, and is primarily played as a conquest game. This game begun a trend that one culminate with one of the best games to have Star Wars on it, and therefore worth a look.

17. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II (2010) - Xbox 360, PlayStation 3

Players control a clone of Starkiller, who embarks on a quest to find his identity and find Starkiller's love interest, Juno Eclipse. Well this isn't a bad game, and it a load of fun. Some will be put off by the lacking plot and the over powered Starkiller. However if you ever wanted to experience being the œber Jedi, you must play TUF II. I have likened it to being a Roman god, and I stick by that comparison.

16. Star Wars: Racer Arcade (2000) - Arcade

Star Wars: Racer Arcade is a 2000 arcade racing game based on the podracing sequence in The Phantom Menace. This is an Arcade class, with the controls for the game being a replica of Anakin's podracer controls. This game had it all, except a true home port. If you can find it somewhere, play it and you will know what I mean.
