Game Description:

Take to the skies in a galaxy far, far away with Star Wars: Starfighter [Special Edition] (Xbox, 2001). Originally released alongside the prequel trilogy hype, this 2001 title by LucasArts lets you pilot sleek starfighters in epic battles set around the events of Episode I: The Phantom Menace. The Special Edition for Xbox isn’t just a straight port—it comes with enhanced visuals, bonus content, and smoother performance compared to the PlayStation 2 original.

You’ll play as three different pilots—Rhys Dallows, Vana Sage, and Nym—each with unique ships and abilities, across missions that blend dogfighting, escort runs, and bombing raids. The story ties directly into the Naboo conflict, giving you a chance to blow droids out of the sky, take on Trade Federation forces, and even square off against capital ships in massive space battles. It’s basically everything you wanted as a kid after leaving the theater: a chance to sit in the cockpit and actually fight the war.

The Special Edition adds extra missions, bonus content, and upgraded graphics that make it the definitive way to experience Star Wars: Starfighter. With tight controls, cinematic missions, and authentic Star Wars flair, it’s a must-play for fans of both the franchise and space combat sims.

Looking for retro games that bring classic Star Wars dogfights to life? Star Wars: Starfighter [Special Edition] is the ultimate way to experience this early-2000s gem on Xbox.
