Star Wars video games: A visual history

We recap the last 27 years of video games based on George Lucas's enormously influential Star Wars franchise.

2005



The game based on Revenge of the Sith hits every platform, including Nintendo's new handheld, the Nintendo DS. Galaxies receives two expansions, the Trials of Obi-Wan and Rage of the Wookies (PC), based on elements of the new film. Republic Commando (Xbox, PC) is the franchise's first squad-based shooter and follows a group of elite clone troopers during the Clone Wars. Battlefront II (PS2, Xbox, PSP, PC) expands upon the large-scale infantry battles by adding dogfights in space. The most significant game this year is Lego Star Wars, the cute co-op platformer-puzzler that comes out of nowhere to charm kids and adults with its sometimes silly gameplay.
