    About this Episode

    Welcome Star Wars fans to ANOTHER very special LIVE episode of Tatooine Sons!

    We’re here at GameStop for the release of Jedi: Fallen Order! This has us thinking about Star Wars games of the past. Which ones are our favorites and why? We’re heading into the way back machine to talk Battlefront, Lego, Unleashed and more! A

    And of course, we’ll share out Hot Takes, poll results, what’s coming to shelves next week and more!

    It's TIME for Tatooine Sons!

    We’re celebrating the release of Jedi: Fallen Order, the latest in a long line of Star Wars games! But which games do WE think are the best in the series? We’re sharing our Unofficial Top 5 Star Wars games - along with a few honorable mentions - next.

    https://www.mandatory.com/culture/1533622-10-best-star-wars-games#1

    - LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga: While not the most complex of titles, the LEGO Star Wars series has been delivering enjoyable fun for the whole family for over a decade now. Getting to reenact your favorite scenes from the various films is a blast, and The Complete Saga includes all six of the George Lucas directed pictures.
    - Star Wars (1983): For many older gamers, this is the title that immediately comes to mind when they think about the best Star Wars games. This first-person rail shooter was an amazing experience in arcades, especially if you were lucky enough to play the version that came in a cockpit. Sure, the vector graphics are rather simple when compared to games today, but it's still a thrill to shoot down the Death Star.
    - Star Wars: Battlefront II (2017): Jump into the boots of an elite special forces soldier, equally lethal on the ground and space, in an emotionally gripping new Star Wars campaign that spans over 30 years and bridges events between the films’ Star Wars: Return of the Jedi and Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
    - Star Wars: The Force Unleashed: The Force Unleashed, and its sequel, was the last real big-budget action game before Jedi: Fallen Order. While it isn't the most polished experience, and the protagonist has the ridiculous name of Starkiller, it's still a fun romp through various parts of the Star Wars universe. The story, which is continued in its sequel, is also much more interesting than it probably should be.
    -Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic: Easily the best Star Wars game ever made, Knights of the Old Republic is a fantastic action role-playing game by BioWare. The developer also made an excellent sequel, but they would later go on to create both Mass Effect and Dragon Age. While it isn't a graphical powerhouse, the strong writing still resonates today and there's an excellent story for fans to take in.
    Honorable Mentions:
    - Star Wars Episode 1: Racer
    - Star Wars: Dark Forces
    - Star Wars: Battlefront II (2005)
