With a new generation of super-powered consoles, Star Wars titles are getting very complicated indeed. That doesn't mean they're getting better though, just look at the recently released Star Wars Battlefront, a mammoth undertaking that doesn't actually come with a great deal of content for its price tag. No, the best Star Wars games to my mind are the Rogue Squadron series. Rogue Squadron 2 is still the series highlight because it sticks to what it does best; putting you in the cockpit of a variety of iconic space ships and tasking you with various missions to hamper the evil Empire. It's tightly paced, it's thrilling, and there's not much better than destroying a fleet of Star Destroyers before moving on to tackle the second Death Star over the skies of Endor. Unfortunately Rogue Squadron 3 made the dud move of introducing some of the worst third person shooting segments that anyone has ever tried to wrap their thumbs around. Factor 5 is sadly no more, but the makers of new Star Wars games would do well to follow their example and double down on a singular element of what makes that franchise so beloved and offer the chance to inhabit the moments that captured the imaginations of so many generations over the years.
