1UP: Star Wars Retro Roundup

1UP writes: "A long time ago -- 30 years to be precise -- in a Mann's Chinese Theatre far, far away, a hokey B movie called Star Wars debuted and changed motion picture history forever. And for 25 of those 30 years, LucasArts and others have been producing games based on the phenomenon it inspired.

In that time, we've seen a lot of repetition; how many times can we fly through the Battle of Hoth, anyway? And we've seen a lot of junk games, too. But just as often, the games bearing the Star Wars name have been a brilliant success. Whether they work by simply tapping into our nostalgic fondness for the films in a clever way or simply stand on their own merits, the best Star Wars games stand the test of time."
