10 Best Star Wars Games Without Lightsabers
Most Star Wars games focus on the classic elements of the franchise, but here are 10 Star Wars games that don't include lighstabers. Lightsabers are arguably the most iconic symbol within pop culture today. Many games, movies, and TV shows have tried to replicate this item and what it stands for.

But lightsabers are just a part of what makes special. Force powers, science fiction technology, and dozens of alien races are also part of this universe.

While , some go against the obvious trend. For this list, we take a list at games that have little to no focus on lightsabers, which means games like and won't be on this list. The game might have lightsabers visible in it, but it is either not usable or insignificant for what the game is trying to do.

Soldiers, vehicles, and even iconic heroes from the films are all here, and as amazing as you'd expect. Heroes like Darth Vader might have a lightsaber, but it does practically nothing against infantry. Instead, players should focus on hero abilities to dominate armies.

With a focus on a mass scale strategy and beautiful space combat, Empire at War is a must-play for any Star Wars fan. Oh, and there's a cinema mode in-game that cuts real-time action around the map together like it's a film.

A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one. Pinball FX3 - Star Wars is what you would expect from a Pinball game with a Star Wars skin. Players can see starships shoot each other as they play the game, or see Vader and Luke fight above the pinball machine.

The story for this game is surprisingly good, with the protagonist Kyle Katarn learning of a secret Imperial project to create Dark Troopers. Players spend the game working with the Rebel Alliance to stop the project and win the war against the Empire. Tight combat, phenomenal level design, and enjoyable enemies make this classic shooter a blast to play.

Even with Jedi in the title, Jedi Starfighter is a space combat game where players take control of a starfighter to fight the separatist threat. Not only can players use the starfighter's weapons, but force powers are useable as well.

Star Wars Episode 1 Racer
A Star Wars racing game would not have made sense when just the original trilogy was released. However, after Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace hit theaters, people wanted a pod racing video game. And that is exactly what Star Wars: Episode 1: Racer is.

Hidden powerups dot levels to tease completionists, and high scores can be achieved to unlock iconic levels for dedicated players to experience. Rogue Squadron is a complete package of what Star Wars fans want in a spaceship arcade game.
Star Wars Bounty Hunter
Bounty hunters are badass. If , Mandalorian bounty hunters are somehow even cooler. Despite this, very few bounty hunter games exist in the Star Wars universe.

Star Wars Rogue Squadron II Rogue Leader
Upping the ante from its past game, Rogue Leader lets gamers relive iconic moments from Star Wars, such as the Battle of Endor or Battle of Hoth. More vehicles were available to use, the visuals received a substantial upgrade, and the secret levels were better than ever. Players could even control Darth Vader's ship and destroy Rebels, or conversely, control the Millennium Falcon.

You command Delta Squad, an elite task force of clone commandos to do the dirty work clones or Jedi can't. This game pays massive respect to the extended universe, showing Super Battle Droids and MagnaGuards as terrifying enemies not to be trifled with. Fantastic feeling weapons, well-realized levels, and a surprisingly well-made horror section on an abandoned ship make this title one of the best Star Wars has seen.
