A game from my childhood, I decided to start with this for my 500 follower celebration on Twitch!

The game follows the story to the first of the original trilogy, but takes a whole lot of liberties too though, which lead me and my viewers to make fun of it with a "...just like the movie" pretext. To the point that the developers were VERY creative with any new monsters that they added.

There are a mixture of driving/shooting sections and platforming levels where you end shooting up monsters before getting the lightsabre, doing far more damage and making short work of most bosses.

Again, they take a lot of liberties with missions, such as a section with the speeder where you shoot down Jawas and according to this game, Luke's Uncle Ben didn't buy the droids, but Luke attacked a Sandcrawler, massacring all the Jawas and a ugly monster at the bottom of the thing that lives in lava-sand and was guarding R2-D2.

This is a trend that continues with the sequels, but it still makes it a very fun game, even if not very accurate to the movie.

I remember trying this for the first time in the mid-90s. I should finally beat it this year!

@thealetmott Good luck! It's fairly difficult and I needed some save-states. However, the difficulty in this one is NOTHING compared to the sequel! With that one they turned it up to 11.
