For Episode II of our Star Wars special leading up to The Last Jedi, we're talking about the 40 years of video games that allowed fans to enter the Star Wars universe, create their own stories, and even dance as Han Solo. Yes. We talk about that game. Spanning game-type, character focuses, and even building out the now apocryphal Extended Universe, these video games matter...but why tho?
