I'm going to lose a lot of my nerd cred saying this, but: I've never been all that fond of the Star Wars films, not even the original trilogy! I find the entire franchise to be a tad derivative and simplistic, and more importantly, incredibly overrated and overhyped.
However, I'll give the Star Wars films at least one thing: they translate into absolutely phenomenal, fantastic, and fun video games!
The Super Star Wars series were a particularly enjoyable example of arcade-esque fun! I have fond memories of blasting and light-saber-flipping my way across Tatooine and through the Death Star! In most of their levels, you selected one of the main characters and proceeded to blast, light saber slash, and/or use Force-based special powers to work your way to the monstrous boss at the end of an action-backed side-scrolling platformer. However, they also mixed it up with special vehicle passed levels in which you pilot an X-Wing, for example, and must destroy a certain number of specific targets.
