Star Wars: Battlefront

While it’s not released yet, Star Wars: Battlefront is an action game that’s quickly climbing the pre-order charts due to impressive beta footage released in the last couple months.

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic

While this Bioware game is now 12 years old, it still holds up as one of the best single player experiences within the Star Wars universe. The adventure explores both the light and dark side of the force as you learn the ways of the Jedi & Sith. If you are playing on PC via Steam, we recommend the Ultimate mod to upgrade all the textures and resolution for modern computers. (MSRP: $10)

Steam –  Google Play –  iTunes

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords

Following up on the success of KOTOR, Obsidian Entertainment picked up where Bioware left off to release the second greatest single player story in the Star Wars universe. This adventure brings more attention to the gray area between the light and dark sides of the Force. Interestingly, the PC version was updated during July 2015 with 4K resolution support as well as support for gaming controllers. (MSRP: $10)

LEGO Star Wars: Complete Saga

Not to be missed, this treatment of the first six Star Wars films is absolutely fantastic. While definitely geared at younger players, there are plenty of jokes in the game that will make adults laugh as well. While it originally came out for the previous generation of consoles (Xbox 360, PS3, Wii), you can also find it on the PC as well as mobile platforms like iOS or Android smartphones or the Nintendo DS. (MSRP: $7 and upwards)
