Star Wars: Battlefront

Released: September 20, 2004


  • Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker and more could fight with their respective factions
  • Some outcomes contradict what happens in the Star Wars films
  • Not considered part of the official canon.

Deep down, every Star Wars fan dreams of being able to blast their way through some of the franchise's epic battles, and Star Wars Battlefront was the game to finally bring those fantasies to virtual life. Yes, there was a single-player campaign, what everyone cared about here was the multiplayer, where you and up to 15 friends could duke it out on the snowy plains of Hoth, beat each other to pieces in the Mos Eisley cantina, and swoop around Cloud City. And yes, you could fight for the Alliance, but if your alliance had always secretly lain with Vader, you could fight as part of the Imperial guard as well. Just as cool as the iconic settings was being able to get behind the controls of some of the Star Wars' universe's signature vehicles. X-wing? Check. Starfighter? Check. And if there's anything more awesome than commanding a towering AT-AT as it lumbers toward your enemies, we don't want to know about it.
