Some computer, some console, and the author fully admits he hasn't played them all.  Still there's probably some conversation to be had here

That's a reasonable list. There haven't been many "great" Star Wars games. KOTOR should top anyone's list.

Being able to Google shit better than your clients is a legit career skill.

None of the X-Wing titles are there.  That’s a bad list.

Tie Fighter should be there for sure.

TIE Fighter, certainly. Also, X-Wing Alliance and Shadows of the Empire (N64).

Shadows was annoying but that Hoth level was all kinds of fun.

Any list that somehow includes a mediocre MMO and a Battlefront game, while excluding not just 1, but 2, noteworthy strategy titles -- Empire at War and Rebellion/Supremacy -- is meaningless.

I loved the first Dark Forces. In fact, it's one of the very few PC games I actually completed! I also loved X-Wing back in the day.
