10 Incredible Star Wars Video Games That Desperately Deserve Sequels
4. TIE Fighter
Out of all the games on this list none have been more formative in the evolution of Star Wars space games like TIE Fighter. Taking place in between Episodes V and VI, the game gave players the chance to equip themselves with the Empire's foremost starfighters - including both the classic TIE Fighter and models such as the Interceptor and Bomber too. Given their visual makeover in The Force Awakens, a new TIE game couldn't be more appropriate. Everyone loves playing as the bad guys every once in a while, and it would offer a great alternative to the usual protagonists players have gotten to grips with over the many Star Wars releases over the years. Flying around in the galaxy far, far away has always been a dream for players, so when they were given the chance to with the original X-Wing and TIE series, they went suitably bananas. Something that could invoke the same sense of excitement and wonder as these games did all those years ago would be a welcome treat for fans old and new, but putting them in a TIE Fighter is the only way to do it.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
