10 Incredible Star Wars Video Games That Desperately Deserve Sequels
2. Galaxies
The ill-fated MMO from Sony Online Entertainment, Star Wars: Galaxies launched in 2003 to universal acclaim from fans and critics alike. Though this adoration would waver after the game's last expansion, Galaxies provided Star Wars fans with the ability to roam their favourite universe whilst personalising every last detail of their experience. As far as MMOs go it was a pretty stellar title, and though The Old Republic has managed to develop a fervent online following, it still hasn't quite managed to topple Galaxies' position as the king of the Star Wars take on the genre. Its expansions too have yet to garner the same widespread acclaim that Galaxies' did, with its predecessor including updates that introduced space combat to the mix as well as new quest lines on top. As it stands The Old Republic is here to stay, but that won't stop players pining for another Galaxies anytime soon.
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.
