## Summary

Polygon has published a ranked list of the 12 best Star Wars video games of all time, prompted by the recent release of Electronic Arts' well-reviewed tactics title Star Wars: Zero Company on 27 August. The list traces the franchise's gaming history back to 1982's The Empire Strikes Back on the Atari 2600, highlighting titles that remain worth playing despite their age or technical limitations.

Among the entries discussed are Star Wars: Squadrons, praised for its immersive cockpit-based space combat, especially with VR; Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, which introduces protagonist Cal Kestis and focuses on lightsaber combat and exploration; Star Wars: Jedi Starfighter, a 2002 follow-up adding Force powers and co-op play; and Star Wars: The Old Republic, BioWare's MMORPG set in the Old Republic era, which found lasting success after switching to a free-to-play model.
