10. Star Wars Trilogy Arcade – By Yavin Gameplay
No idea why Sega didn't bring the trilogy to Dreamcast-yet it's definitely one among the most exciting arcade games released ever. It was released long back in 1999 and the best part about the game is its brilliant use of cutting edge Model-3 hardware which sweeps the gamers beautifully to the thrilling scenes from the famous series. Be it "Battle of Hoth" or "Assualt on the Death Star"- we are simply excited reminiscing about all.
9. Republic Commando: Released in 2005, Republic Commando marks a somewhat different feel from other Star Wars numbers as it doesn't have Jedi warriors and many other familiar elements of the iconic series. You can say it's a kind of fusion between Metroid Prime and Halo. But then again, this amazing squad-based shooter has done an awesome thing with its focus on a somewhat unexplored aspect of our universe- keeping the player in lead of a very chatty bunch of great clone soldiers. It's available on Xbox, PC.
8. Star Wars Episode 1: Racer This game has to be here on the list of the best Star Waes games mostly because its themed on the famous pod racing sequence from Episode I. It's no doubt one among the best of racing games themed on all the 3 prequels. The game amazes with its Wipeout-esque affair when the player flies around in a rocket-propelled pod, bypassing all hazards & rivals on the way. The game was released in 1999 and is available for N64, PC, Game Boy Color and Dreamcast.

You are getting a huge smash & bash number here through which you can laugh along with your buddies.
6. Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II
A 1997-release, the game is little different from the original part- whilst the actual Dark Forces seemed more of Doom-alike, this one assures the perfect Jedi feel in some awe-inspiring 3D world. With great elements like Force powers or Lightsaber duels, it made Jedi Knight stand out in elegance from the shooters. The game is especially more enjoyable in the latest multiplayer mode.
5. Star Wars: Tie Fighter
Released in 1994, the Tie Fighter was somehow inspired by X-Wing released a year before but then made the theme even more exciting and refreshing- putting the player in command of titular ship & leading a thrilling fight.

The latest of Star Wars numbers (2015) is also the most hyped of all. Developed by the maverick "Battlefield" team, it's a grand multiplayer shooter game with amazingly detailed attention. None of the other games could create the galaxy feel this perfect as this.
2. Star Wars Rogue Squadron II : Rogue Leader
Widely considered as the finest of trilogy-spanning game, this 2001 release is strongly inspired by the main theme of N64 original – and it further accelerated the superb flight combat rush with the addition of powerful GameCube. A stunner in every aspect, it allows you to relive the iconic elements of X-Wing crew.
