Some anniversaries pass quietly. This one kicks down the door with a thermal detonator and demands a side-scrolling boss fight. On this day in gaming history, Super Star Wars (1992), Super Empire Strikes Back (1993), and Super Return of the Jedi (1994) each blasted their way onto the SNES in three consecutive years—setting the tone for what “hardcore Star Wars gaming” would look like for a generation. If you’ve ever jumped over a Sarlacc pit, rage-quit on a lava planet, or been blindsided by a Jawa wielding an unreasonable amount of screen presence—congrats, you were there. 🕹️ Super Star Wars (1992): Where Sandcrawlers Feel Like Death Traps Released in 1992, Super Star Wars took the events of A New Hope and turned them into a side-scrolling gauntlet of lasers, lava, and angry Tusken Raiders. You start off blasting womp rats as Luke Skywalker (pre-Jedi, obviously), then pick up Han and…

On this very day back in 2005, the Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith video game was unleashed upon the galaxy—and also onto PlayStation 2, Xbox, and Game Boy Advance. Now, two decades later, it stands as a beautifully chaotic reminder of the golden era when movie tie-in games were a thing and nobody questioned why Jedi had infinite lives. Sure, the movie was filled with heartbreak, lava, and sand-related betrayal. But the game?
