After a series of lackluster games set in the Star Wars universe, it looked like LucasArts was really pushing the franchise to new extremes and was seeing how low they could go with titles like Star Wars: Demolition and Jedi Power Battles. Things began to take a turn for the better with Star Wars: Starfighter for the PlayStation 2, and while the game wasn't as good as the classic X-Wing series for the PC, it was like traveling at hyper speed in the right direction. Additionally Starfighter provided early adopters of the PS2 -- at least those who managed to snag a unit -- with a game of some quality.
