I have always had a soft spot for Dark Forces on PC:
And of course Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II:

So much fun
If there was ever a game that deserved a remake with online multiplayer, it's this.I was growing up right when the prequels started coming out, so it was cool to ride that second wave of Star Wars gaming.
First SW game I ever played.
does it have to be something good or just something I liked.
I liked it, my brother didn't

Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy gave us the MovieBattles II mod is which the best asymmetrical class based multiplayer game I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing.

I'd have to say some of the more impressive games were on the SNES. I grew up with neighbors who owned the SW game on the NES, which it did intrigue me over Zelda in a way. I rented the SW series on SNES multiple times. To my surprise I never owned the games. I wish I would have because they were a lot of fun. I played a bit of Shadows of the Empire and Rogue Squadron on N64. Then I didn't really get to play another SW till Masters of Teras Kasi was out on PS1.
I liked KOTOR on Xbox as well. I wouldn't mind going back to play the PC versions now.
Force Unleashed wasn't my favorite, in fact I had a bad time with it. I even played the PS2 version, which IMO was hot garbage on many different levels. It had this weird bar and it did a lot of things differently.
Owning a nice gaming PC from 2006 and on I got to play more than I did on console. I bought a lot of titles that I'm still going to play someday.
Aladdin's Castle got in the huge Podracer arcade machine and I played that a few times. I can't say I liked the SW action titles on PS2. I thought those seemed different. I never liked obscure SW titles or when they try to do something mainstream. The SNES was a whole other story with major Japanese developers behind it.
The Dark Forces titles were great. I think they still hold up today. I got to play them way after their initial release, but they are impressive games. The 90s SW games are still some of the best games IMO. I picked up the X-Wing and Tie Fighter series recently. There's a huge debate between console and PC SW games.

Who paid you to grab Dr. Pavel?
So awesome with the "actual" pod racer controls.
Only played it once, but it was mad fun.

Someone is selling one over here in Los Angeles with the hand controls working for $600
Rebellion - a strategy game I enjoyed but apparently most people hated.
Rebel Assault games were fun. I liked the gameplay variety and cutscenes.
Super ROTJ was the best game in its respective series.
And I genuinely enjoyed Yoda Stories. It was always great for a short, casual gaming session.

Thought this was going to be about the SNES trilogy. Damn, I loved those games. For all I know though they were pure shite and it's pure nostalgia. I'm scared to revisit them.

Can't talk about arcade games without the GOAT:

The strategic game was serviceable at the least, and pretty good in many areas. The tactical combat part was terrible though.

My answer as well. Legendary game.
Also, Shadows of the Empire. Played the shit out of that as a kid.
SotE was my first Star Wars game, it was actually my first game as well lol.
Also loved many more, one of my favorites being Revenge of the Sith.
The lightsaber combat was so satisfying, and the 2 player lightsaber dueling was awesome.

I spend hours playing Star Wars: Battlegrounds and Jedi knight II they were everything.
More recently I loved The Force Unleashed but the second one was so messy and short.

Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy blew me away back in the day. Then I played KOTOR and that solidified my love for Star Wars again.

Haven't played the new Namco pod thing yet, but it looks hot.
I love this game.
I can't defend it, because it's pretty much goddamn terrible. But I love it all the same. Whole trilogy in fact.

Once you play the Dreamcast version you can't go back to the N64 version

Dark Forces I & II were boss.
As was Super Return of the Jedi on the SNES.
And don't forget Tie Fighter / X-Wing

I was never big into Star Wars games, only have played a couple of them. I think Rouge Squadron was the game I enjoyed the most... I also have a soft spot for Shadows of the Empire, but that's mainly due to it being an early N64 game and the Hoth level.
Oh Episode1 Racer was really good back in the day.

My brother and I had quite a few battles in vs. mode. Good fun
Anyone remember this beautiful combo?
Yes, I kind of liked Ep. 1 the game. What can I say, Star Wars was back!
Played Racer on the PC quite a bit; in fact, my bro and I were playing LAN games (maybe through a TCP/IPX workaround) up until a few years ago. Loved that game. I played through the single player mode of Racer on the N64. Very neat to see so many people like that game as much as I did. I loved the Pod Racing scenes in the movie too, screw the haters.

Star Wars is a rare movie license that has really seen some wonderful and diverse work over the years. I've loved many dating back to the vector based arcade game but I have to say rogue leader for GameCube stands out as my favourite. It was just a perfect piece of code for that place and time.
I'm still holding out for any kind of HD revisit.

What about that playstaion series where you use force powers to upgrade a Jedi fighter craft.

I sucked at it as a kid. I would always cheat, get like death star and unlimited resources and destroyed the rebellion by blowing up tons of planets lol.

Some people still play Jedi Knight 2: Outcast [including myself]
The level of play [especially on CTF] these days is rediclously high.

No, but I had this:
Lovely little bundle. Came with KOTOR 1, Empire at War, Republic Commando, Battlefront and Jedi Outcast.
Back in the day? It still is. It is a bit rough going back to the super low framerate N64 version, but its still a great game with a really fantastic upgrade system and blistering sense of speed. Just play it on PC or DC if possible.

Soon as my tax refund drops, I'll hopefully get the rest of the PC together and those Humble Bundle games are to be the christening titles. Finally get to go through the Jedi Knight trilogy.
But yeah, Yoda Stories was THE companion to StarCraft in my childhood. When the latter burnt me out, my cuz and I would go through Yoda Stories.

Starfighter (PS2)
Jedi Starfighter (PS2)
Bounty Hunter (GCN)
KOTOR (XBOX)
KOTOR II The Sith Lords(XBOX)
Episode 1 Racer (N64)
Revenge of the Sith (DS)
Battle for Naboo (N64)
Rogue Leader (GCN)
Republic Commando (XBOX)
Obi-Wan (XBOX...not sure if I liked that one. Forgettable)
The Clone Wars (GCN I think)
New Droid Army (GBA)
Battlefront (XBOX)
Battlefront II (XBOX)
Galactic Battlegrounds (PC)
Empire at War (PC)

I love The Phantom Menace video game.
Yes, game play was utter shite, but I loved playing through that pseudo ARPG with FPS elements throughout the movie moments, but expanded into larger levels.
Playing as Qui-Gonn in Tattoine helping Anakin get his racer parts or as the Captain in Coruscant through the underside was fun.

I loved this game so much I would spend hours in multiplayer matches force pushing bots to their doom on Xbox.
Really excited for Battlefront tomorrow, and hopefully we'll see what Visceral is up to as well.

Kotor 1 and JK2 are the best SW games to me. Republic Commando was awesome too, but too bad you can only play it graphically downgraded on pc now (bump mapping is not working correctly on modern graphic cards)
Because of that I really which there would be Republic Commando HD Remaster
