Yes fans, Star Wars is on its way to making a comeback, and with LucasArts and Pandemic's new action/shooter The Clone Wars, the proof is in the pudding.įeatures LucasArts has been making a conscience effort lately to pack its games with more content than your typical action title. The future too, looks pretty bright with games like Knights of the Old Republic and An Empire Divided exciting fans in anticipation of their release early next year. Episode II was a whole lot better than the previous installment, and LucasArts' last Star Wars game Bounty Hunter has reached new heights in terms of stage design and complexity of the puzzles. But the true fans hung in there and for those of us who did, we're being treated to resurgence in the quality of the movies and the games that represent the franchise.
It was a dark time for Empire fans, and the powerhouse that was Vader had apparently run its course. The videogame spin-off market faired just as poorly, with a slew of poorly conceived games flooding the stores while trying to capitalize on the Star Wars name brand. Suddenly the world had quite the distaste for the Lucasfilm super franchise, and enjoying movies with Stormtroopers and Wookies in them wasn't so cool anymore.
