All Star Wars games in order
By Lenn Hodes · founder — every cartridge tested by hand
More than a hundred Star Wars games exist, and most lists drown in them. This one keeps to what matters for a Nintendo shop: every Star Wars game that came out on a Nintendo cartridge or disc — from the NES to the Switch 2 — plus the main line on the other consoles, so Battlefront, KOTOR, the Jedi games and Outlaws are placed too. 39 games in release order, with the platforms linked and buying notes on the second-hand copies we stock and test.
The short answer
The NES and SNES years (1991–94) → Shadows of the Empire and Rogue Squadron on the N64 (1996–2000) → the GameCube era: Rogue Leader, Jedi Outcast, Bounty Hunter, Rebel Strike, KOTOR on Xbox (2001–04) → Battlefront, Republic Commando and the first LEGO games (2004–06) → The Force Unleashed and the Clone Wars games on Wii and DS (2008–11) → Battlefront (2015), Jedi: Fallen Order (2019), Squadrons, Jedi: Survivor and Outlaws (2024). Nothing needs playing in order.

Every Star Wars game in order
Years are the first release. Nintendo versions are linked to the platform; where a Wii or DS version was a different game from the PlayStation one, the note says so.
- Star Wars · 1991 · NES (Europe 1992); Game Boy 1992 — Beam Software’s platformer through the first film — the first Star Wars on a Nintendo cartridge
- Super Star Wars · 1992 · Super Nintendo — the run-and-gun retelling of A New Hope, with Mode 7 flying stages
- Super Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back · 1993 · Super Nintendo — harder and longer; the Hoth stage on the speeder is the one people remember
- Super Star Wars: Return of the Jedi · 1994 · Super Nintendo — the last of the SNES trilogy, and the easiest to find complete
- Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire · 1996 · Nintendo 64; PC 1997 — Dash Rendar between Empire and Jedi — an N64 launch-window game
- Star Wars: Rogue Squadron · 1998 · Nintendo 64 & PC — Factor 5’s arcade flight game; uses the Expansion Pak for high resolution
- Star Wars Episode I: Racer · 1999 · Nintendo 64, PC & Dreamcast; Game Boy Color 1999; Switch & PS4 2020 — the podracing game; the Game Boy Color version is a separate top-down game
- Star Wars Episode I: Battle for Naboo · 2000 · Nintendo 64 & PC — Rogue Squadron’s engine on the prequel — the last Star Wars on the N64
- Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles · 2000 · PlayStation & Dreamcast; GBA 2002; re-release 2025 on Switch, PlayStation, Xbox & PC — the co-op lightsaber brawler; the GBA cartridge is a scaled-down port
- Star Wars Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader · 2001 · GameCube — a GameCube launch title and still the console’s showcase — the Death Star trench run
- Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast · 2002 · PC; GameCube & Xbox 2002; Switch 2019 — Kyle Katarn and the lightsaber game everyone means by "Jedi Knight"
- Star Wars: Bounty Hunter · 2002 · PlayStation 2 & GameCube; Switch 2024 — Jango Fett before Attack of the Clones
- Star Wars: The Clone Wars · 2002 · PlayStation 2, GameCube & Xbox — vehicle combat on Geonosis and beyond — Pandemic’s first Star Wars game
- Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones · 2002 · Game Boy Advance — a side-scrolling film game; The New Droid Army (2002, GBA) followed it
- Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic · 2003 · Xbox & PC; Switch 2021 — BioWare’s RPG four thousand years before the films — the Switch cartridge is the full game
- Star Wars Rogue Squadron III: Rebel Strike · 2003 · GameCube — adds on-foot stages and a co-op version of Rogue Leader; the disc also carries the arcade Star Wars
- Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy · 2003 · PC & Xbox; Switch 2020 — build your own Jedi; the last of the Jedi Knight line
- Star Wars: Flight of the Falcon · 2003 · Game Boy Advance — a 3D flight game on the GBA — ambitious, rough, and cheap today
- Star Wars: Battlefront · 2004 · PlayStation 2, Xbox & PC — Pandemic’s large-scale battles; no Nintendo version
- Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II – The Sith Lords · 2004 · Xbox & PC; Switch 2022 — Obsidian’s darker sequel
- Star Wars Trilogy: Apprentice of the Force · 2004 · Game Boy Advance — the original trilogy as a GBA platformer
- LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game · 2005 · GameCube, PlayStation 2, Xbox, PC & GBA — the start of the LEGO line — the six LEGO games have their own list, linked below
- Star Wars: Battlefront II · 2005 · PlayStation 2, Xbox, PC & PSP; re-release 2024 on Switch, PlayStation, Xbox & PC — space battles and Jedi added; the 2024 Classic Collection brought it to Switch
- Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith · 2005 · PlayStation 2 & Xbox; GBA & DS 2005 — the film game; the GBA and DS versions are side-scrolling games of their own

- Star Wars: Lethal Alliance · 2006 · Nintendo DS & PSP — a handheld-only story set before A New Hope

- Star Wars: The Clone Wars – Jedi Alliance · 2008 · Nintendo DS — the animated series on DS; Lightsaber Duels (2008) is the Wii game of the same year
- Star Wars: The Clone Wars – Republic Heroes · 2009 · Wii, DS, PS3, Xbox 360, PSP & PC — the second Clone Wars game on Nintendo
- Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II · 2010 · PS3, Xbox 360, PC, Wii & DS — shorter than the first; again a separate Wii game
- LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars · 2011 · Wii, DS, 3DS, PS3, Xbox 360, PSP & PC — the Clone Wars series in LEGO, with real-time battles
- Star Wars Battlefront · 2015 · PS4, Xbox One & PC — DICE’s reboot; a different game from the 2004 Battlefront

- Star Wars Battlefront II · 2017 · PS4, Xbox One & PC — the single-player campaign and, after the loot-box reset, the version people still play
- Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order · 2019 · PS4, Xbox One & PC; PS5 & Xbox Series 2021 — Cal Kestis — Respawn’s single-player line
- Star Wars: Squadrons · 2020 · PS4, Xbox One & PC — cockpit dogfighting, with VR on PlayStation

Which Star Wars game should you buy now?
- The classic that holds up: Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader on the GameCube — never re-released, still the best-looking Star Wars of its decade.
- The story: Knights of the Old Republic on a Switch cartridge, or Jedi: Fallen Order on PS4.
- With the family: LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga on Switch — all nine films, region-free.
- On a handheld: Episode I: Racer on Switch, or Lethal Alliance and the Clone Wars games on the DS.
Buying Star Wars games second-hand
The N64 and GameCube flight games are the ones to collect
Rogue Squadron, Battle for Naboo, Rogue Leader and Rebel Strike were never re-released anywhere, so the cartridge or disc is the only way to play them. Rogue Squadron uses the N64 Expansion Pak for its high-resolution mode; the two GameCube discs run on the first Wii models with GameCube ports. Rebel Strike also hides the 1983 arcade game as a bonus.
The Wii and DS versions are usually different games
The Force Unleashed, its sequel, Republic Heroes and the Clone Wars games came out on Wii and DS as separate builds — different levels, motion or stylus controls, and their own box art. A used Wii disc of The Force Unleashed is not the PS3 game; the Switch release of 2022 is the PS3 game. Every listing of ours names the exact version.
The Switch got the Xbox-era classics back
Jedi Outcast, Jedi Academy, Episode I: Racer, KOTOR, KOTOR II, Republic Commando, The Force Unleashed, Bounty Hunter and the Battlefront Classic Collection all appeared on Switch between 2019 and 2024 as complete games on region-free cartridges — the cheapest way to play a whole era on one console.
LEGO Star Wars has its own list
Six LEGO Star Wars games exist across every Nintendo console since the GameCube, and they pass through our hands more often than any other Star Wars line. They are in this list where they land, but the version-by-version guide is on the LEGO Star Wars page linked below.

Browse tested GameCube gamesQuestions we get asked
Do I need to play the Star Wars games in order?
No. Almost every Star Wars game stands alone. The only real pairs are Knights of the Old Republic and its sequel, The Force Unleashed and its sequel, and Jedi: Fallen Order followed by Jedi: Survivor — play those two by two, in release order.
How many Star Wars games are there?
Well over a hundred since 1982, counting every platform. This page lists thirty-nine: every Star Wars game released on a Nintendo cartridge or disc, plus the main console line — Battlefront, KOTOR, The Force Unleashed, the Jedi games, Squadrons and Outlaws — so the order of the ones worth buying is on one page.
What is the best Star Wars game to start with?
Jedi: Fallen Order for a modern single-player story; LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga for the films with the family; Rogue Leader on the GameCube if you want the classic that still looks the part. KOTOR on Switch is the RPG people call the best Star Wars story in games.
Which Star Wars games are on the Nintendo Switch?
Jedi Outcast, Jedi Academy, Episode I: Racer, Knights of the Old Republic I and II, Republic Commando, The Force Unleashed, Bounty Hunter, the Battlefront Classic Collection and LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga — and on Switch 2, Star Wars Outlaws.
Which Star Wars games are on the GameCube?
Rogue Leader, Rebel Strike, Jedi Outcast, Bounty Hunter, The Clone Wars, LEGO Star Wars and LEGO Star Wars II. All are PAL discs in Europe and play on a European GameCube or an early Wii with the GameCube ports.
