What Makes a Star Wars Game Feel Truly “Star Wars” to You?

With so many Star Wars games released over the years from story-driven single-player titles to large-scale multiplayer experiences, I’ve been thinking about what really makes a game feel authentically Star Wars.

For some players, it’s:

  • strong storytelling and character arcs
  • iconic music and sound design
  • lightsaber combat and Force abilities
  • exploration of familiar planets and lore

For others, it might be immersion, atmosphere, or how closely a game respects the established universe while still trying something new.

I’m curious to hear different perspectives here:

  • Which Star Wars game captured the “Star Wars feeling” best for you?
  • Do you prefer story-focused games or multiplayer experiences in this universe?
  • What would you love to see improved or explored more in future Star Wars titles?

Looking forward to hearing everyone’s thoughts and experiences.

    Hey there. Thanks for starting this thread. It would be interesting to see how others feel. For me, the immersion mostly comes from being in an authentic Star Wars world. I first felt that immersion with Dark Forces back in the 90s. I also felt it with the X-Wing and Tie Fighter games. And much later with the Jedi: Fallen Order and Survivor games. There have been others in between as well. The Battlefront games had their moments also. I need the sounds, environments and characters. Story matters as well, but no matter how good that is, the world you're in needs to feel like something out of Star Wars.
