[QUOTE]Originally posted by Ozu: [QB] There is no definitive answer to the question. Some of the games are indeed directly tied into the main fiction as behind the scenes sub-plots (like Republic Commando, which follows a "special ops" team of clone troopers up to the battle of Kashyyk featured in Ep. 3). Others, however, are simply there to try to recreate one element of the SW universe to provide fun for the player (read "simply there to annoyingly redundantly recreate the Hoth battle sequence or Death Star trench run to fatten the Lucasarts treasury and milk the consumer"). The SW franchise has been shamelessly exploited on everything from toothebrushes to BK cups, and the games are no exception. Every now and then they release a good one that ties into the "real" story, like Republic Commando, the Rogue Squadron series, or Knights of the Old Republic (although this is debatable as they take place 5000 years before the films). They also, however, have released completely backwards nonsensical steamy piles of gaming crap, like Jedi Power Battle (picture Street Fighter with Luke and horrible physics/controls). [/QB][/QUOTE]
