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

1. Knights Of The Old Republic (2003)

Knights Of The Old Republic is acknowledged by many as the greatest Star Wars game ever made. To start with, Star Wars is ready-made for an RPG setting, with so many paths to tread and adventures to be had. Bioware took the existing universe, added to it, shaped it, and generally made it brilliant. The Star Wars prequels tried and failed to bring genuine life to the galaxy away from the original locations, but where they failed, Knights Of the Old Republic steps up to the fore. You can create your own character and explore George Lucas' universe at your own pace rather than being shuttled through senseless trade negotiations and other poorly executed storylines from the prequels. If you've got time to invest in KOTOR, you won't be disappointed, though any of the games mentioned will serve the ultimate purpose of killing time until The Force Awakens explodes into our cinemas very, very soon.
