By Mike Fahey If you're looking for another take on the deliciously addictive fun of Star Wars: Battlefront, but with a fantasy setting, you may want to look somewhere else. Too much of this game feels phoned in to be able to recommend it. Well that was relatively painful.

By Brian Crecente Traditionally, George Lucas has always approved any change to Star Wars canon, though it's unclear if this rumored idea would have changed canon or created a new one. But it does make this particular tidbit far more interesting than your average leaked game designs. Maybe Lucas is playing...

By Michael McWhertor Yes, you'll be playing through some of the more "memorable" moments from Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones in LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga, but don't let that distastefulness dissuade you.

By AJ Glasser This made me squee inside because I’m a fangirl who’s read all the fanfiction Expanded Universe books and the best thing I took away from them was Vergere’s challenge to Luke Skywalker that there is no Dark or Light Side. There was also something in those books about Sith not defaulting to ev...

By Noah Robischon And the Wii version will take advantage of the "first lightsaber Unfortunately, while wielding a lightsaber or building Lego does on other consoles—swinging the saber around still only mapping between your Wiimote and the lightsaber.

By Brian Crecente If you waggle the Wii Remote, a character armed with a lightsaber will swing it with the same abandon you swing. If you jump or double jump first, you'll perform a slam or super slam attack. In addition, if you swing when a bolt is incoming, you'll be able to swat away blaster fire (rather than ju...

By Mark Wilson 2001: Funcom releases Anarchy Online for PC in the US. After writing about Star Wars Galaxies yesterday, Anarchy Online makes me remember a time when I thought, "Can anyone ever beat EverCrack? MAYBE Anarchy can do it...but probably not."

By Mark Wilson 2003: SOE releases Star Wars: Galaxies for PC in the US. It's a controversial title, as making Jedi proved as difficult as becoming the real thing, and eventually "New Game Enhancements" were released that threw the game's basic setup out the window. But as for the original time it took to un...

By Michael McWhertor Known for their work on both Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: Sith Lords and Neverwinter Nights 2, Obsidian will hopefully get a chance to kick off something good, instead of being saddled with following up someone else's megahit. Michael McWhertor

2002: LucasArts releases Star Wars: The Clone Wars for GC and PS2 in the US. I read an interview with George Lucas where he said that his only regret of all the SW films was that he didn't choose to clone Princess Leia. Ok, I just made that up, but he was probably thinking it.

1997: LucasArts releases Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II for PC in the US. Fanboys, ATTACK!

Lucas Arts really needs to do something about Legos Star Wars II for the Nintendo DS. I love the Xbox 360 and Playstation Portable versions, but the DS version just plain sucks. Next come the graphics, which I could learn to live with, but certainly don't live up to the rest of the franchise.

2003: LucasArts releases Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic for XBOX in the US*. Editor note: Portions of this entry have been omitted because saying anything about anything in any way related to Star Wars or any other Lucas™ properties leads to Internet uprising. Thank-you.

On Tuesday, Lucas Arts sent me copies of Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy for the Xbox 360 and Playstation Portable.

By egauger The only exposure I've had to Star Wars Galaxies, besides the awesome Fett's Vette video by Windspire, was via an old roommate, who was gone most of the day but would leave his mining bot on. Knowing that he was doing this, and that no one stopped him, and that many other people were probably do...

It's all quiet on the Vader front lately, but it's possible this game may re-appear around E3 time if LucasArts m...
