What is your favorite pre-EA Star Wars game?

Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight
This one for me. Such a solid, classic shooter. Only problem was the first level or so was obnoxiously hard, at least for 10 year old me.
KOTOR 1+2 and battle front 2.
Oh I can’t forget about the GOAT empire at war.
Easy. X-wing vs Tie Fighter. Had so much fun with those games on the PC back then.
I would go further back and say the original X-Wing and TIE fighter 1993-1994
Definitely Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast
X-Wing (1993). I'm old. It is still one of the best games I've ever played.
I spent so many hours on that game as a kid. I had a Sidewinder joystick on my Acer i386 running Windows 3.11.
Years later I played X-wing: Alliance but it just wasn't the same.
Galaxies. RIP
I liked the Rogue Squadron games...and obviously Episode I: Racer. Played the hell out of Racer.
I’ve always loved Galactic Battlegrounds because RTS are fun. Rebellion is another great one that another commenter mentioned. I was also a fan of Jedi Knight and Jedi Academy and replaced them on switch a year or two back.
Kotor, but mostly the second one. With the restored content it's so much better than anything else that it feels unfair.
Star Wars: Rebellion by a long shot. And that's saying something considering how much I loved Jedi Academy and X-Wing vs TIE.
Having characters run missions that shaped the course of the Galaxy really helped the game write its own stories in the Star Wars universe. Things could happen like Chewie becoming force sensitive, getting trained by Luke, and then Chewie could lead a mission to blow up a Death Star!
The constant cat and mouse game between the Rebels and the Empire was exciting. The game has kind of been reimplemented in a board game by the same name by Fantasy Flight Games. The board game is good, but there's still magic about the original that I haven't seen replicated anywhere else.
Rebellion was one of my first strategy games and I absolutely loved following the careers of all the characters I read about in the books. It's what built the foundation of my love for grand strategy games like Stellaris.
Jedi Academy has always been my favorite, love the lightsaber combat in that one
