Star Wars: Starfighter Special Edition is an action video game developed and published by LucasArts, released in 2001 for the original Xbox, with later releases on other platforms including PlayStation 2, PC, and Xbox Series X|S. The game is set in the Star Wars universe, specifically before the events of the Battle of Naboo, where players take on the roles of three heroic starfighter pilots: Rhys Dallows, Vana Sage, and Nym. The game's storyline involves a guerrilla campaign against the Trade Federation, with missions taking place both in atmosphere and in space.
The gameplay features full control over pitch, yaw, and roll of the starfighters, with each ship having unique weapon systems. Players can issue commands to their squadmates and complete primary and bonus objectives to unlock extra levels, videos, and additional starfighters. The Special Edition includes enhanced graphics, improved multiplayer modes such as Capture the Flag, Dogfight, Tag, and Hunter/Hunted, and three additional missions compared to the original version.
The game received generally favorable reviews, with critics praising its engaging gameplay and faithful representation of the Star Wars universe. Jeff Lundrigan of NextGen described it as 'the best Star Wars game in at least a couple of years,' and Air Hendrix of GamePro highlighted its minor flaws but overall quality as one of the best PS2 titles in early 2001. The game's historical significance lies in its contribution to the Star Wars gaming franchise and its enduring popularity among fans of space combat games.
Despite its short campaign, the game remains a beloved title in the Star Wars series, with its re-releases on modern platforms ensuring it remains accessible to new generations of gamers.
