Played on Jedi difficulty. I DID IT!!! I BEAT THE TRILOGY! MY GOD IT WAS SO DAMN HARD!

This is easily the best of the trilogy, the tightest combat, tightest platforming, best level design, best characters, best bosses, best variety, you name it, this game is the best at it.

This is definitely the easiest of the three Super Star Wars games, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. The game is still very difficult, but it's difficult for the right reasons most of the time, whereas its predecessors were difficult cause of straight up bullshit. This game still has some bullshit but it's dialed down considerably.

You can play as jedi master Luke, Han, Chewbacca, bounter hunter Leia, slave Leia, rebel Leia, and Wicket the Ewok (lol). Luke is definitely the most fun character but some sections just straight up require you play as someone else to be able to beat them. Luke has a lot of force abilities and it generally is the same as Super Empire.

The bosses are far better than the first two because most of the bosses are ACTUALLY FROM THE FILMS! There are some random ass bosses but generally it's actually stuff from the movies.

There is a good chunk of variety in this game, the mode-7 is at its peak here. Though the speeder bike section sucks tbh. And the finale is quite possibly the hardest bit of all the games, it is insane, it put me in a trance to beat it. The amount of relief and accomplishment I felt when I got through it on my 1 millionth try was great.

The level design is much more thought-out and smart, though there were like two levels that just felt like a messy maze. Still, huge improvement from the first two games.

Seriously, the finale of this game is absolutely ridiculous. You have to beat Vader, beat the Emperor, then escape from the death star exploding, and that is insanely hard. It's a first person bit and my god man, it was just crazy.

If you want to play a Super Star Wars game or just a Star Wars platformer, this is easily the best pick. It's far more accessible than the last two yet brings a ton of challenge and excitement, it's actually fun and hard, whereas the last two were just annoying. I'd 100% recommend this game.
