Fantastic. Even 18 years later it still holds up as a completely engaging gaming experience. The only thing that felt dated were the graphics and really why bother complaining about that when the game came out in 03? It’s still one of the best gaming experiences of all time with an incredible story, truly fleshed out characters, and gameplay that was surprisingly fun to dive into. This is my first time playing this game and it still felt fresh, even by today’s standards. It’s one of those rare games that the moment it was over I wanted to start it all over again…. And I have. Looking forward to my 100% play through now. The fact that it’s a Star Wars games just makes it that much better. It feels very much in line with the themes and ideals of the films, but still etched its own place within the ever expanding universe. It adds hefty weight to the mythology of the force and expands the universe in a way I didn’t even know I wanted. Separating itself from the Skywalker Saga is definitely a smart move and one of the game’s greatest strengths. Really it’s just an all around blast to play that I was constantly excited to dive back into. Hours just melted away while playing and I’m so glad I finally got to experience this masterclass in storytelling.
