Chat corner 3: Shall we play a game?

Welcome to this week's chat corner!

 

Optional chat prompt

The topic for this week is "Star Wars games" - computer, mobile, or otherwise. What are you playing these days? Fond memories of something you've played as kids?

Ah, yeah, I mostly characterize Star Wars as "thing that spawned ten squillion tie-in thingies"/by the breadth of its expanded universe. If it's just volume of official stuff, yeah, more things come close.

Well, yeah, but that's the thing, SW has a lot of games, compared to other SF "canons".
It does! IDK what's the reason, though. Some lucky confluence of gamers and Star Wars fans meant that the first game(s) were highly profitable? A game studio person was friends with a LucasArts person?
