5 Star Wars Games That Need a Sequel & 5 That Should Be Forgotten

There have been over 100 Star Wars games created, and some of them deserve a sequel. Others should be forgotten altogether. It is hard to believe that over 100 video games have been made, but it's true. Ever since video game consoles were a thing, Star Wars took center stage amongst some of the most notorious games of the era. The problem is, not every one of these games was good. Some Star Wars games were little more than reskins of other video games, while some just didn't play well. That isn't to say there weren't any good Star Wars games, however. Some of the best video games ever created are in the Star Wars universe, even if they are a bit dated. Here are 5 of those amazing Star Wars titles that deserve a sequel, and 5 that should be forgotten. THEGAMER VIDEO OF THE DAY

Needs a Sequel The Force Unleashed

Disney has made most of the extended universe, and therefore plenty of video games, non-canon—meaning they are not legitimately part of the universe. That includes Starkiller, Vader's apprentice, who helped create the Rebel Alliance. The Force Unleashed went over-the-top when it came to utilizing force powers—taking down an entire Star Destroyer by yourself rivals most Sith Lords—but the gameplay loop the game offered was engaging enough with its visual flair and plethora of combos. If this series could come back with modern graphics and more fleshed-out gameplay, it would make a fantastic alternative to the rising series is developing.

Forget Rebel Assault

Do you like on-rail shooters with no challenge? Most would agree that rail shooters are best at arcades and older-gen titles, not as a fully built video game. That is the main mistake with this DOS title. Rebel Assault is an on-rails shooter where players control iconic Rebel ships to take down the Empire. The issue is it lacks the levels and overall spectacle that Rogue Squadron and similar titles provided. It had fantastic visuals for the time, but that is definitely not the case today. This series needs to be forgotten.

Needs a Sequel Republic Commando

found its way into the Star Wars IP with the fantastic Star Wars: Republic Commando video game for the 6th generation of consoles. Players took control of Boss, a clone commando who is in charge of 3 other squad members. Together, you fulfill high priority missions for the Republic, like sabotaging droid factories or investigating derelict ships. Its combat is rather dated, but the atmosphere in Republic Commando makes it distinct yet familiar in the Star Wars universe.

Forget Kinect Star Wars

Most people remember Darth Vader as a menacing antagonist in the original trilogy of Star Wars movies. However, there are a few cursed souls that only saw him dancing to pop-culture tunes in Kinect Star Wars. People wanted a Star Wars game with motion tracking since it was conceived, but no one wanted dance-offs and clunky controls. The Kinect could barely detect motions, let along with great precision, leading this ancient game to collect dust in many gamer's libraries.

Needs a Sequel Jedi Fallen Order

If you can get past its steep difficulty curve, Jedi: Fallen Order is one of the best video games EA has created in recent memory. Featuring beautiful environments and engaging characters, Fallen Order starts a great story that yearns to be expanded on. While games like The Force Unleashed focused on story and visually satisfying combat, Fallen Order strives to create mechanically engaging combat with a larger emphasis on world-building through character development. If Respawn ever , they could create a game that rivals the likes of .

Forget Master of Teras Kasi

Star Wars: Masters of Teras Kasi should have been a home run. Intimate fighting with the iconic cast of Star Wars characters would have been any fan's dream at the time. Sadly, this game failed in every way imaginable. Clunky controls, terrible visuals, a boring roster of characters, and bad performance gutted the potential this game had. Masters of Teras Kasi lacks basic flourish in its animations and attacks, further ruined by its sluggish performance that makes the game feel like its lagging behind your inputs.

Needs a Sequel Jedi Academy

Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy for many years now, adding new mechanics and fixing bugs. That kind of dedication is rare to see, showcasing how impressive Jedi Academy is to its fans. And impressive is the best adjective to describe this game. Jedi Academy, even after 17 years of other Star Wars titles, still contains the best lightsaber combat you will ever see in a video game. Slick controls are reinforced with phenomenal animations and great sound. The singleplayer offering wasn't as comprehensive as Jedi Outcast, but the multiplayer additions made this entry a fan favorite. It desperately needs a remaster or reboot, however. It is criminal how few people have experienced this game's combat, and the best way to fix that is with a sequel.

Forget Super Bombad Racing

Star Wars: Super Bombad Racing isn't a bad game necessarily. It transfers the casual fun of Mario Kart into the Star Wars universe, complete with all of its iconic characters and locations. The issue is it adds nothing else, instead including childish caricatures of known heroes and villans alongside rather uninspired gameplay systems. This type of game could be better revived with the many pod racer titles that have released during the early 2000s. Unless there's a large demand for a kid-friendly racing game, there is no reason for this franchise to come back from the dead.

Needs a Sequel Knights of the Old Republic

via gamesradar.com masterpiece Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is still the best Star Wars game ever made. The unique setting, great writing, and mindblowing plot twist easily set it above the rest. KOTOR 2 went even deeper on fantastic writing, although its buggy and unfinished nature make it hard to enjoy without mods. RPGs meld incredibly well with the Star Wars IP, yet none have been done to this scale since excluding the MMO spin-off The Old Republic. KOTOR 3 was a sequel Obsidian planned to make, but it just . A reboot or sequel to this genre-defining game would make plenty of Star Wars and RPG fans alike unmeasurably excited.

Forget Yoda Stories

Why does this game exist? Who asked for a fetch-quest Star Wars video game for the Gameboy? That is exactly what Yoda Stories is, sadly. Players control Luke Skywalker as he patrols procedural levels in search of random items, such as keys or junk. The Gameboy version only contains 15 levels and even simpler levels, making it even worse than the PC version. There is no reason whatsoever to play this game. It is such a bad idea conceptually that it should never be revived.
