For this poll, I'm sticking to the current canon games in the Star Wars universe.

For one, there's no confusion between the current and the old Expanded Universe.

Another is that there are way too many "Legends" games to list here.

As for my favorite, I'm going with one that probably nobody else will choose and that's Vader Immortal. Absolutely amazing looking game and I like the story.

Second follow up that's close for me would be Fallen Order.

EDIT: well, it should be canon damnit

KOTOR 1. I don't care what they say is cannon or not. It's cannon for me.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Rogue Squadron, and this thread reminded me I still need to play Squadrons. That shit in VR is so cool.

 

[Darkmakaimura]

KOTOR 1. I don't care what they say is cannon or not. It's cannon for me.

If it's true the KOTOR remake is happening then that will most likely take over as being canon.

 

[MooMilk2929]

I don't think any of them are canon any more. The extended universe were made non canon after disney bought Star wars I think. Can't remember for sure.

 

[BlackTron]

Nobody is going to want to give a current canon game but out of respect for the assignment given, I guess SW Squadrons or Battlefront 1 are cool for their VR modes. EDIT maybe those aren't canon either lol who can keep track anymore

All the games listed are post Disney buyout and have explicitly been stated as canon. Some of the series even tie into the games i.e. Obi-Wan Kenobi series and Fallen Order.

 

[CellarDoor81]

Jedi Survivor is not only my favorite Star Wars game, but one of my favorite games in general! Fallen Order is great too! Can't wait for part 3!

 

[Darkmakaimura]

I know most of you despise Disney canon but damn people, most of the games are pretty good!

You bunch of anarchists!

That's one of the old "legends" lore that I can happily leave behind.

Such an edge lord game that really fucked with canon.

 

[Deerock71]

Rebel Strike. On-foot missions be damned, that game was awesome.

I have this game on GOG and it looked great but yeah, isn't this the one where the MC nearly kills Palpatine and/or Vader with ease? That just looks really bad.

Yeah. Way to OP. He's basically more powerful than Yoda and Palps combined. A stain on the old lore.

I remember the picture of him pulling (or pushing) a Star Destroyer with the Force.

Uh yeah okay.

 

[Grildon Tundy]

Fallen Order and Jedi Survivor are my vote. They were better than they needed to be.

 

[Polaris]

That's a depressing list.

 

[kevboard]

Yeah well.... So should KOTOR 1 and 2 but here we are.

as should Dark Forces/Jedi Knight

 

[Darkmakaimura]

as should Dark Forces/Jedi Knight

They did kinda-sort-canonize it if you count the Dark Troopes in The Mandalorian which of course were taken from Dark Forces.

yeah, but the whole thing is what the sequels should have been imo.
and if they ever actually decanonise the sequels, using Dark Forces and Jedi Knight as a template to replace them would be the way to go imo

 

[Arsic]

Jedi survivor for sure. Need that third entry!

 

[GigantorX]

Dark forces, Jedi Knight and Academy and MIX TAPE

 

[poppabk]

Uh yeah okay.

The PC version rectified this by doing a half ass port job and making it almost impossible with mouse and keyboard - I rage quit and uninstalled and so canon for me is that - no you can't force pull a Star Destroyer.
