Our Favorite Star Wars Features

Game Informer

Happy Star Wars day! It's May the 4th [be with you], which is very clever and a great excuse to talk about Star Wars and really hit that search engine optimization juice to have the words "Star" and "Wars" in an article as much as possible. But the fact of the matter is, we do genuinely love Star Wars here at Game Informer and have eagerly covered its video game adaptations for years. Six Star Wars games have appeared on Game Informer covers, and it's fair to assume we will have more in the future (this is not a tease – just an admission that I'm sure there are cool Star Wars games on the way).

But we have covered Star Wars in other ways, as well, beyond featuring it on the cover. Below you will find some of our favorite features covering the franchise over the years.

Unlike the character, however, the game was never revived.

Shadows Of The Empire – Remembering Star Wars’ Most Audacious Video Game Adaptation

Kyle Hilliard

I am a huge fan of the Star Wars game Shadows of the Empire. I can't argue it is the best, but I can argue that it is my personal favorite. Back in 2018, I tracked down one of the game's directors, Jon Knoles, and spoke in depth about the creation of the game, Shigeru Miyamoto's feedback, and a lot more.

Jedi: Survivor Composers Explain What Makes A Score 'Sound' Like Star Wars

Charles Harte

Following the release of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, Charles Harte spoke with composers Stephen Barton and Gordy Haab about arguably one of the most difficult musical jobs in any entertainment medium: composing a soundtrack that pays homage to and emulates (without being the same) arguably the most iconic musical score of all time
