With the release of Book of Boba Fett, I've decided to have a look through a list of all the Star Wars games ever released, and despite being a pretty massive fan of the franchise I was surprised at how many of these games I didn't even know existed. For example, stuff like Obi-Wan for the Xbox, or Lethal Alliance for the PSP...
I know when people talk about Star Wars games, the conversation almost always understandably steers towards the classics, like KOTOR or Jedi Knight / Academy, or sometimes even stuff like Shadows of the Empire. But for this thread, I would love to hear your experience with some of the lesser known Star Wars titles - maybe these are games that you played as a kid and now know were actually merely average or worse, but that you thought were great at the time. Bonus points if that particular game has an exclusive story that ties into Legends material - I love seeing how old Star Wars material tried to reference other expanded universe content!
Currently, I am playing the Obi-Wan game for Xbox that I mentioned, and while it's quite clunky, I do think the lightsaber mechanics are a lot of fun - and it's interesting to see some Legends content about Obi-Wan's apprenticeship before the events of Phantom Menace. It's definitely not something to recommend to anyone that isn't a die-hard Star Wars fan but it's pretty decent for a game that I haven't even heard of up until very recently!
