"All time" hasn't finished yet, but that hasn't stopped the Australian
PCAuthority website from listing the 10 best Star Wars games ...


Get fired up for The Last Jedi by revisiting these gems.
--------------------------------------------------------
Dozens upon dozens of Star Wars games have been released since
the early '80s, and the flood has never really subsided over
the years. Pretty much every year has seen another game or two
appear to reignite our love of lightsabers.

That's not always a great thing. Licensed games have a
reputation for being rubbish more often than not, and Star Wars 
is as guilty as any other franchise for putting out tosh here
and there: Kinect Star Wars, anyone? How about Masters of Teras
Kasi? It happens. In fact, it's happened quite a bit.

Thankfully, there's a flipside to that: the games that remind
us why we love Star Wars so much. The games that let us feel as
though we're a part of that vast, wonderful universe. And the
games that fill us with the same kind of childhood wonder as
the classic films themselves. There's a fair number of them,
but we've argued about them all to come up with a list of the
10 very best.

With Star Wars fever renewed agan for The Last Jedi, now's the
perfect time to loop back on some of these. Enjoy!

10) Star Wars Trilogy Arcade
9) Star Wars: Republic Commando
8) Star Wars Episode 1: Racer
7) LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga
6) Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2
5) Star Wars: Tie Fighter
4) Super Star Wars
3) Star Wars Battlefront II
2) Star Wars Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader
1) Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic

See the website for brief blurbs and video clips / trailers:

Nope, "Pit Droids" is the best ... I even managed to finish that one. :-)
