31. Angry Birds Star Wars (Wii U)

Angry Birds — remember them? This Star Wars crossover came out for Wii and 3DS as well, and although the comedy of the mash-up might not be to everyone's tastes, it's a fun little time sink all the same. It suffered from being massively overpriced on consoles, but the core Angry Birds gameplay is as fun as it ever was, except this had TIE Fighters with pig faces. What's not to like?

30. Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Jedi Alliance (DS)

The first game to tie-in with the Clone Wars animated series, this is a solid, if simple, little game that uses the touchscreen well and really looks and sounds the part as Anakin, Obi-Wan, and co. do battle against the forces of the Dark Side. A nice little bit of drop-in/drop-out wireless co-op made this an undemanding but decent offering on par with the various Lego Star Wars titles available across all platforms.

29. Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection (Switch eShop)

This is a real shame. The irony is that Aspyr has done a nice job with remastering the visuals in both games here, and we enjoyed seeing the results. But the reality is that these games often feel old, they're extremely buggy, and the online play is hit-and-miss.

This should have been a slam dunk. Instead, playing Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection made us feel sad. If Aspyr can fix the slew of technical issues (and the updates have been coming, slowly), this might one day be worth picking up on Switch. Until that happens, though, playing this makes you want to go home and rethink your life.

28. Star Wars The Clone Wars: Lightsaber Duels (Wii)

Taking the multiplayer duel mode from The Force Unleashed and stretching an entire game out of it, Star Wars The Clone Wars: Lightsaber Duels also stripped out some of the complexity of its progenitor and offered fewer fighters. Anyone looking for their dream 1:1 lightsaber game would also be disappointed — welcome to Waggleton! Sorry, this is Star Wars, isn't it. Erm, Waag-il T'wn.

Not bad, but it had the potential to be so much more.

27. Star Wars: Hunters (Switch eShop)

Star Wars: Hunters might not bring anything particularly new to the ever-increasing field of class-based shooters, but there's a lot of fun to be had. If you can look past the fiddly menus and 'Arena Pass' trappings that have haunted so many in the genre, Hunters offers a level of tactical PvP gameplay that is simple to grasp and entertaining enough to warrant mastering.

Best of all, it felt right at home on Switch. There was certainly room for improvement but, like ol' Shiv Palpatine, at launch we were keen to watch its career with great interest. Unfortunately, with servers being Order 66-ed on 1st October 2025, this one was destined to fall. A shame.

26. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II (Wii)

A sequel generally disliked on other platforms, the Wii version was arguably the pick of the bunch and its multiplayer mode wasn't bad either. Not great, but as we've seen from the Dagobah swamp of dross we've waded through to get this far, plain competency gets you a long way with a Star Wars game.

We'll quietly brush the terrible DS version under the carpet, but The Force Unleashed II on Wii didn't make us want to Force-choke ourselves.

25. Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron (DS)

n-Space is a company with a bulging portfolio of Nintendo DS ports from hallowed franchises, including Call of Duty, several James Bond games, and multiple Disney titles. The studio was also behind the DS port of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed which provided the base engine used in Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron.

As a portable version of the Battlefront series (the original Battlefront, not the more recent, lovely-looking versions), it's not a bad interpretation, although — surprise, surprise! — the basic gameplay gets a bit repetitive. It's not the ugliest thing we've seen on DS, especially the ship-based sections which look pretty nice, but if Elite Squadron were a child asking if it were beautiful, we'd cunningly change the subject and point overhead at a passing freighter.

You can't hold a game of this vintage's visuals against it, we suppose, and we'd take brilliant mechanics over graphical finery any day. Mechanically, this is solid, which is enough to get it edging towards the top half of a Best Star Wars Games list.

24. Star Wars: The Clone Wars (GCN)

The Clone Wars suffers from having only the least desirable vehicles from the entire franchise available to pilot. Perhaps we're biased towards the classic rides, but AT-ETs and Republic gunships don't get the pulse racing like a good old-fashioned AT-AT or an X-wing.

Still, this game offers some decent vehicular combat and a dose of clunky on-foot lightsaber-y stuff, too. There's some more colour once you get off Geonosis, but it's a very beige game in more ways than one.

23. Star Wars: Bounty Hunter (GCN)

This lacklustre third-person shooter served as a prequel to Attack of the Clones (well, it kind had to considering how — SPOILERS! — Jango loses a particularly vital body part in the movie), and despite looking and sounding passable, and having wicked cover art, it didn't have the necessary technical chops to make it memorable in any way. A shame, but perhaps we'll see this sort of game done right in the future. Star Wars 1313 might be a distant, cancelled memory, but Mandalorians are so hot right now.

If you're still intrigued to blast through Jango's earlier exploits, there's a convenient Switch port available.

22. Star Wars: Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast (Switch eShop)

Jedi Knight II released on GameCube years ago and the more recent Switch release was certainly a Force hit of nostalgia. Showcasing aspects both good and bad of this particular vintage of game, poor pacing can make it a bit of a slog but it features some decent combat and characters. And Kyle Katarn.

If you played the original back in the day, you'll likely be able to weather its antiquated design and enjoy the game for what it is, but new players might lack patience.

21. Star Wars: Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy (Switch eShop)

Jedi Academy is a lengthy trek across the (Expanded and non-canon) Star Wars universe that acts as a nice little time capsule back to when Star Wars games were a bit blockier and a bit sillier (perhaps for the better).

The multiplayer might not stand up like it used to and the game is certainly showing its age, but it's still got plenty of lightsaber-swinging and all-in-all is a decent chunk of nostalgic Star Wars gaming, even if you can't play as Kyle Katarn.
