The first official licensed Star Wars electronic game was Kenner's 1979 table-top Star Wars Electronic Battle Command. The game had three levels of play (basic, intermediate, and advanced). Players took turns examining star systems with the aim of avoiding black holes, locating enemies, and searching for MAGNA, "the FORCE-giving star".

If your idea of a good time is hanging out with assassin droids like HK-47 or exploring a vast galaxy that's just filled to bursting with Jedi, the Old Republic's your jam. As it stands, there are exactly zero video games in this era designated as canon per 2014-onward standards; the upcoming remake of Knights of the Old Republic, however, will pro...
To put it lightly, the number of video games in Star Wars' Rise of the Empire era utterly dwarfs The Old Republic's. LucasArts pumped out prequel tie-in media like there was no tomorrow, and gaming was one of the biggest examples of this approach. Many of the titles in the new canon can be found here alongside the mountain of non-canon content.
For as much as it's been mined for both Legends and Canon content through the years, the Dark Times era (from events roughly two-thirds into Revenge of the Sith on through Rogue One) still has plenty of room for video games. These 19 years see the Empire at its height, the galaxy imperiled, and a lot of slaughtered Padawans.
Star Wars is a divisive franchise. There will never be an end to arguments over whether the prequel and sequel eras are worthy. In that sense, it's nice to come "home" to games set during the era of the original films, when the worst someone would say was that Return of the Jedi could have been better. Many of the oldest games will be found here, o...
The Legends continuity primarily explored this most modern era of the Star Wars universe through the Jedi Knight series. The new canon has only done so through a couple of games. Hop over to Disney+, meanwhile, and you'll see a burgeoning collective of television shows set in the years after the triumph over Emperor Palpatine in Return of the Jedi....
We know there are a few holes here. Who shot first? We did. If we've skipped a Star Wars game, there are three possible reasons for it. First, it was some sort of short-lived browser-based tie-in, like the Star Wars: Rebels flash bits back in 2014. Alternatively, it's clearly in a realm of its own — the free-to-play mobile games are one example, th...
How much do we know about the plethora of Star Wars games currently in development? Enough to tell you when a handful of them will be set, at least. Looking ahead, here are the eras getting some extra love in the years to come.
