Sixteen years ago today, Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron launched on PSP and Nintendo DS — delivering one of the most ambitious handheld Star Wars shooters ever made. Yep, before Battlefront II stole our hearts (and hours of our sleep), Elite Squadron was busy proving that you didn’t need a console to wage a galactic war. And honestly? It still deserves more love. A Battlefront Experience Built for Players on the Move Released on November 3, 2009, Elite Squadron let fans jump into massive Star Wars battles from their handhelds — at a time when most portable shooters could barely handle a laser pointer, let alone the Battle of Hoth. The game delivered: The PSP version especially felt like a full-scale Battlefront game squeezed into your backpack — and for a generation of fans, it was their Battlefront.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars Video Game Was Released on This Day in 2002!
