It’s the first Star Wars game in a long time that’s concerned with being a good game, not just a licensed one. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order stands apart, though. The list of the best Star Wars games is remarkably small, despite the fact that games bearing the franchise name have been released for decades.
