    Yep. I had a lifetime membership on it and played it loads. It was a shame that they stopped updating it too. They could of had some really good war zones.

    Battlefront (loved the nonJedi aspect, huge battles)
    Rogue Squadron II (classic)
    Empire at War/Forces of Corruption (like Battlefront, really captured idea of a war)
    The Clone Wars(GCN,Xbox,PS2) (see above)
    Bounty Hunter (loved the story)
    Lego Star Wars (playing through the movies)
    Rogue Squadron III (felt like they were trying to redo the movies without trying to redo them)
    KOTOR (too long, but loved the story)
    Battlefront II (AI is horrible, Jedi overpowered, love RotS locations)
    KOTOR II (felt incomplete)
    The Force Unleashed (very very repetivie, didn't like story, but loved idea of huge story)

    Yes, I've played all the major versions of TFU. TFU II is bleh on Xbox, but it's actually good on the Wii. And I don't list them last because they suck, but because all those others are just better. ;)

    My perspective is limited, but of the ones I have experienced, this is my list:

    1. Rogue Squadron
    2. Shadows of the Empire
    3. Rogue Squadron II
    4. Jedi Outcast
    5. Rogue Squadron III
    6. Racer (Episode 1)
    7. The Clone Wars (2002 game)
    8. Bounty Hunter
    9. Revenge of the Sith game
    10. Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga

    I haven't played either of the TFU or BF games, believe it or not. (What kind of Star Wars fan are you, Life?! :p )

    Mind you, this list is by no means an attempt to rank the technical quality of the games in question. Rather, it is merely a ranking of the specific experiences I had with them, according to my immersion into, and overall enjoyment of, each respective game, and may be coloured by nostalgia, gameplay preference, my overall mood at the time I played them, and so on.

    10. Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy

    I am one those people Ender Sai would consider late to the party, being only 24 and only starting to play PC games in 2003. I am absolutely the product of what I have managed to play. I missed out on the X-wing and TIE Fighter series and the Dark Forces and Jedi Knight series before Jedi Outcast, and never got to play KotOR I and II, but I absolutely want to play all of them them. I will rank the Battlefront series as highly as I like, thank you very much. I have played TFU, but I refuse to rank it highly because I can't stand what it did to the founding of the Rebellion. I have also managed to play the Super Star Wars series, which are fun games I would rank if there weren't better games out there, and Bounty Hunter, which I would rank if I would have actually played it for any significant length of time.

    Got KOTOR from steam yesterday. It's really good but I haven't played it enough yet to decide where it goes in my rankings. I'll make a new list once I've formed an opinion.

    Any video game involving Kyle Katarn is number one, its a prophecy of the Force.

    Point Given Funny thing is I actually have KOTOR on my computer, but I'm always putting off playing it. I have a HUGE backlog when it comes to video games. :p

    In addition to the Super Star Wars series and Bounty Hunter, I forgot TPM and Jedi Power Battles, which are fun games much like the Super Star Wars series.

    You MUST play Republic Commando. You're missing out a lot otherwise.

    My five favorite in no particular order.

    Star Wars: The Old republic. Standard theme park MMO, but hundreds of hours of content.

    Jedi Outcast. Best sword fighting mechanic in a video game ever.

    Knights of the Old Republic. For the "twist."

    Battlefront 2. Good, mindless fun.

    Jedi Academy. Mediocre follow-up to Jedi Outcast with combat controls that aren't nearly as tight. Still fun for the customization options, and the shout-out to Tales of the Jedi.
