The lights are on
It's May 4, which is Star Wars day, so it's a good excuse to do something we like to do anyway: talk about Star Wars.
What Star Wars video game franchise would you like to see make a return? Whether it be by way of sequel, or reboot? Star Wars: Battlefront is an obvious choice (and one that made a surprise appearance today), but what about the slightly more obscure Star Wars video games? How about a new Republic Commando, Bounty Hunter, Podracer, Super Star Wars game, Rogue Squadron, or Masters of Teräs Käsi game?
I would like to see a spiritual successor to Shadows of the Empire, a game I have a special place in my heart for. I don't think it's a particularly great game, but I want to see a new Star Wars game with a diverse set of levels that have you shooting at Storm Troopers and exploring levels in the third person, flying in space and on ice planets, riding speeder bikes, and listening to John Williams' excellent score.
What about you?

If I could bring back any game series it'd either be Episode I Racer or Dark Forces. The world needs another entry in the legacy of Kyle Katarn. At least I do.
Rogue squadron! Best series ever.
Give me 1313!
Knights of the Old Republic
Star Wars: the phantom menace for the ps1!!!! i absolutely loved that game!!
The only Star Wars game I ever enjoyed was Rogue Squadron. A sequel or a remake would be cool.
Jedi Knight: Dark Forces III is something that I would love to play.
I was a huge fan of Republic Commando and Battlefront because of their focus on the armies actually fighting the wars, not Jedi dealing with identity crisis. I wish 1313 hadn't been canceled since it would have vindicated Boba Fett from this little fiasco he had, not sure you all may have heard about it, but he fell into a really big hole. He lived so it's all good. In all seriousness though, The Old Republic is doing it for me, really captures the greatness of KOTOR and making it a game you can play with friends.
I would like to see another adventure with Kyle Katarn. Also, a conclusion to KOTOR would be nice. Revan went off to fight a mysterious war and the hero from KOTOR 2 went after him to join the fight, but I never got to see what happened. I guess they are just wandering around in space looking for a fight.
X-Wing / Tie Fighter definitely.
The force unleashed
BATTLEFRONT 3!!!!
BATTLEFRONT
Battlefront 3, end of discussion!
I would love a Jedi knight academy sequel. That game has some of my favorite lightsaber combat of all time. And of course Battlefront 3 as well.
I would say Republic Commando. I know that a ton of people would love to see Battlefront, but i feel that commando has so much to offer. Also Commando could have some amazing multiplayer if handled correctly.
