We can't get the very important national Star Wars holiday go by without doing this, right?!?

Discussion Topic: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/80708068 (if you want to complain about this topic series do it here and not in the current topic)

Rules: If you list more than 4 things I'm gonna just tally the first 4 you say. If you list the same game multiple times it won't count. Be nice. Don't shove your personal definition of "Mount Rushmore" down others' throats. Have fun. If you're going to majorly change a vote please quote your old vote to make it easier for me.

Star Wars game-specific-rules: I dunno, there's probably none?

Star Wars (the vector graphics arcade game).

Star Wars (1983 Arcade Game)
TIE Fighter
Knights of the Old Republic
Battlefront II (the first "Battlefront II", not the more recent one)

Classic game, flight sim, RPG, multiplayer shooter. I could cut TIE Fighter, but I like the contrast between the arcade game & the more simulation focused computer game.

EDIT: Formatting fix.

Also, this one is incredibly difficult....

Don't count this as a voting post yet, as I'm stuck on 5.5

KOTOR
Shadows of the Empire
Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II
Battlefront II
TIE Fighter/Rogue Squadron

I feel like a flight sim should be in, and as good as Rogue Squadron 1 is, TIE Fighter was really important. I already had to cut Galactic Battlegrounds, which I wish I didn't but it just doesn't fit on the list.

like, atm, Battlefront II is the one to cut... or Shadows of the Empire. I can't justify the others.

I promise you, it is objectively true.

Rogue Squadron 1 is dated but it still plays better and without a doubt has more charm than perhaps any Star Wars game.

Rogue Squadron 2 is trying to see block boxes in a black field of space with meh graphics.

Rogue Squadron II was a technical showcase, the graphics were unbelievable for its time. And it expanded on what the first game was doing. It was the Gamecube launch game.

Knights of the Old Republic
Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II (tough call between this and Jedi Outcast, but I think DFII is more significant.)
Rogue Squadron (I agree that it is better than Rogue Leader)
Episode I Racer

Honorable Mentions:

Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords
Dark Forces
Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast
Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy (the fact that this came out in 2003 and here we are, over two decades later at this point, without any games that have surpassed it in terms of lightsaber combat is pretty astonishing.)
TIE Fighter
Shadows of the Empire (I considered including this as one of the four, but the true beauty of SotE is as a full multimedia projectnot just the game, but the toys, the novel, and especially (in my opinion) the comic series.)
The Old Republic (I think the fact that this carved out its own successful spot in MMOs is worth a mention, and it has had much more success than Galaxies did.)
Galactic Battlegrounds
Jedi: Fallen Order (I go back and forth with this sometimes. I enjoy it, I even think its very good. Ive currently got it rated just outside the top ten Star Wars video games at #11 overall. But I cant help wondering if some of the hype is for bringing Star Wars back to video games in a successful way after the ST, in one of its most remarkable failures, led to pretty muchnothing on the video game side of things? Sorry if Im not applauding over LEGO Star Wars additions.)

It was, indeed, unbelievable why they made a game where the TIE fighters were not bright enough to be seen in the blackness of space.

It's cool that it actually did 3D space combat but the game is actually pretty poorly designed visually.

Aaaaaand here are the results!

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/8/8cceda0c.png

KotOR with an overwhelming victory (selected by >90% of voters), followed by Battlefront II, Jedi: Fallen Order, and Lego Star Wars: The Video Game.

A split in support between the original and the sequel stops any Rogue Squadron from making the Rushmore.

And then a whole bunch of games with support (~15-20%) but not widespread appeal.
