I’m probably overrating it for technical polish, but I’m underrating it for the amount of fun I got out of it. It’s full of things to do, so many maps, modes, vehicles, characters, easter eggs and wacky gimmicks. I have so many memories with this game, playing split screen with my friends, force pushing people off ledges on maps like Mygeeto and Mustafar, kicking Darth Maul’s ass as Luke in Heroes vs Villains as if I were playing with action figures, bullying Rebels as a wampa in Hunt mode, sticking mines to the side of my snowspeeder and taking out an ATAT in one pass, being cheeky and hiding mines in the command post light (I got up to all sorts of fuckery with the mines), creating playlists to reenact Clone Wars episodes. Fun was the developers’ clear and earnest priority above everything else, and that’s in stark contrast to the EA successors. It’s a relic of a far more innocent age, one I really wish to go back to at times.
