The Dark Side: The 10 Worst Star Wars Games Ever

The feedback from our recent list of the 10 Best Star Wars Games of All Time was great. Many compelling arguments were made as to why certain games should or shouldn’t be on our list, but our primary takeaway from the discussion was that we have been incredibly lucky to experience so many fantastic Star Wars games. And with EA now in charge of future games, and new games rolling out already, the future looks bright.
But what about the stinkers? The games that publishers tried to shove down our throats based solely on some vague Star Wars branding? Or the well-intentioned games that just couldn’t make it work? Behold the opposite of our first list, the 10 Worst Star Wars Games Ever. Read on and let us know if this list will be even more controversial than the last.

Whoever put it in their is an idiot.
Why no Star Wars Kinect is on this list is beyond me.
By chance are you blocking cookies or running an ad blocker (or any other setting that would prevent the code from remembering that you already dismissed it)?
The effects might have been prettier, and the lightsaber battles flashier, but where was the soul man, where was the soul?
On top of all of that, please tell me the last time that Lucasarts did something positive with the Star Wars franchise. The studio was effectively dead, and had let the IP languish for years. The fact that new Star Wars games were announced within weeks of the Disney purchase and EA license agreement underscores the disparity in priorities between Lucasarts (what was left of it, anyway) and its successors.
I loved Lucasarts games during the studio’s golden years, and sure, I wish that it could have remained strong and kept pumping out quality titles. But it was dead, long dead, by the time it was official dismantled. And you’re free to go on hating EA (they’re far from perfect, of course, and they’ll need to prove they can sustain their improved policies). But to argue that Star Wars fans eager for new games aren’t better off now than they were three years ago is objectively absurd.
Republic heroes has a similar feel but lacks the difficulty.
I had high hopes for rebellion, but the only way to play without being bored to death which made the computer near impossible, and multiplayer games took longer than risk. So I get why it made the list.
No dark forces jedi knight? Come on it was far better than jedi outcast(as was jedi academy, but they’re all worthy)
