11 Star Wars Games You Need To Play Before The Force Awakens

2. Rogue Squadron 2: Rogue Leader (2001)

This may raise some eyebrows, but if you're going to play a Rogue Squadron, make it the second one. The original is amazing, but the second one has absolutely everything you need from a Star Wars game. Part of the reason why Rogue Leader maybe doesn't get the same level of praise is because of its GameCube exclusivity. It was honestly the most underrated console of all time, and Rogue Leader was a stunning example of what it could do. The iconic Death Star mission is tremendous, and while the whole world was clamouring to see the new Battlefront game, I'd probably be even more excited if they ever got round to bringing us a brand new Rogue Squadron. Rogue One's coming out next year, LucasArts, get on it. In the meantime, dust off the purple cube and enjoy.
