Star Wars Battlefront II: Celebration Edition
With the exception of the most recent Lego Star Wars title, The Skywalker Saga, you won’t find a more comprehensive collection of playable characters outside of Star Wars Battlefront II. Inspired by the class-based combat of the Battlefield franchise, Battlefront II is playable online or offline against bots. There’s even a co-op PvE mode that allows you to team up with your friends against waves of ravenous Ewoks. Honestly, if wrecking Ewoks online is wrong, then I don’t want to be right.

EA revitalized the Star Wars dogfighting experience with Star Wars: Squadrons, a tense, difficult, and immersive aerial combat game. Drawing from the classics like X-Wing and Tie Fighter, this game makes a compelling case for owning a VR headset. If you don’t audibly scream the first time you make a high-speed pass across the bridge of a Star Destroyer, you may want to check your pulse.
