Star Wars: Demolition[]
Star Wars: Demolition is a 2000 vehicular combat game developed by both Luxoflux and published by LucasArts for the Sony PlayStation and Sega Dreamcast. In it, the Empire declares a ban on Jabba the Hutt's sport of podracing. To replace it, Jabba creates a more life-threatening contest where combatants fight to the death in or on vehicles. Several combatants enter the competition: Boba Fett enters, opting to use only his jetpack. Aurra Sing also enters a swoop bike. Other opponents mount various forms of tanks, landspeeders, and even a rancor to compete in this battle to the death.
Jovenshire recommended this game to fans of vehicular combat and vehicle demolition games.

Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles is a 2000 action beat 'em up hack-and-slash game featured on Why We're Single, developed and published by LucasArts for the PlayStation, Dreamcast, and Game Boy Advance. It inserts players into events in and during The Phantom Menace from the perspective of one of five Jedi: Obi-Wan Kenobi, Qui-Gon Jinn, Mace Windu, Adi Gallia, and Plo Koon (there are a number of secret characters that can be unlocked after completing the game).
Emphasis is placed both on completing jumping sequences and defeating enemies. Players can choose to run, jump, slash, and use the Force through the game's ten levels, spanning the events of Episode I. There are a few segments in which the player can pilot various craft. The single-player campaign can also be played in cooperative mode with a second player, while the Dreamcast version has an additional training mode and a two-player duel mode. As players progress, additional lightsaber combos and Force powers are unlocked.
Jovenshire praised the game's mechanically unique Jedi, the co-op multiplayer, and the secret characters (namely Darth Maul).

Dark Forces II adds some technical and gameplay improvements over its first. The game was a success and a sequel was released in 2002, titled Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast.

Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire[]
Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire is a 1996 third-person shooter game developed and published by LucasArts for Microsoft Windows and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo 64.

Episode[]
Star Wars: Super Bombad Racing[]
Star Wars: Super Bombad Racing is a 2001 racing game featured on Why We're Single. Using characters and locations from The Phantom Menace, the game challenges you to race up to eight CPU opponents or four of your friends, using weapons and gadgets to gain the upper hand. A secondary arena battle mode allowed pure combat between racers. The game's trademark was the appearance of the characters: the characters all had oversized heads and piloted shrunken vehicles. The vehicles, however, all hovered, making Super Bombad Racing a unique skill to master in the handling department.
Characters include Darth Maul, Jar Jar Binks, Sebulba, Boss Nass, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda, Anakin Skywalker, and Queen Amidala. Racetracks and arenas are set on the planets Naboo, Coruscant, Tatooine, and Hoth. Unlockable content includes elements mainly from the original trilogy.
Sohinki enjoyed this game, describing it as a Mario Kart-esque Star Wars racing game with bobblehead characters.

Star Wars: The Old Republic[]
Star Wars: The Old Republic is a 2011 Star Wars MMORPG featured on Why We're Single, developed by BioWare Austin and published by LucasArts and Electronic Arts for Microsoft Windows. Set shortly after the establishment of a tenuous peace between the re-emergent Sith Empire and the Galactic Republic, the game features eight different classes, each of which has a three-act storyline that progresses as the character levels up. Players join either the Republic or the Sith but can possess any morality along the light/dark spectrum. Different classes favor different styles of gameplay, and the game features extensive customization options, fully voiced dialogue, companion characters, and dialogue options.
Based on estimates, it is one of the most developmentally expensive games made. The game had 1 million subscribers within three days of its launch, making it the world's "fastest-growing MMO ever", of which it lost a fair share in the following months. The game has since adopted the hybrid free-to-play business model with a remaining subscription option. The game was met with positive reception upon release and has received several updates and expansion packs. Several books and comics based on the game have been released.
Sohinki had a generally positive opinion of this game, calling it "alright", "okay", and a "pretty good game".
Episode[]
Star Wars: X-Wing vs TIE Fighter[]
Star Wars: X-Wing vs TIE Fighter is a 1997 space simulation game featured on Why We're Single, developed by Totally Games and published by LucasArts for Microsoft Windows. With its lack of story-driven campaigns, it is not generally viewed as a part of the regular series of X-Wing games. It includes multiplayer options for up to eight players in free-for-all, team-based, and cooperative play modes, and has a pilot and mission selection system that tracks the player's points and awards. Players can select their spacecraft and squadron (and thus their role in combat) for each mission.
It is the only part of the series designed almost exclusively for multiplayer and/or personal practice only, lacking a storyline. Totally Games later released an expansion called Balance of Power which added a storyline.
Sohinki enjoyed this game and described it as a flight simulator with lasers, which he described as the best part of Star Wars, alongside Force Chokes.
