Playdate: 'Star Wars' week celebration, episode two!

Games celebrating a galaxy far, far away

Star Wars: The Force Awakens is nearly upon us, and Engadget's gaming crew can barely contain itself. Life for Sean, Tim and Jess has been a constant struggle between the pain of being patient and the fear of encountering spoilers out there on the internet. How does one cope with such stress, such anticipation? By playing old Star Wars games, of course! Today we'll be taking a look at the PlayStation 4 ports of Star Wars: Racer Revenge and Super Star Wars, as well the classic Tie Fighter space sim on PC and, if there's time, the cinematic adventure of Rebel Assault II.


Want some say in what we'll play next? Join us at 6PM Eastern / 3PM Pacific at Twitch.tv/Joystiq and tell us what your favorite Star Wars game is. Not interested in joining in the discussion? You also watch the show on the Engadget Gaming homepage, right here in this post or, as always, in our archives at a later date.
