Not to be confused with Electronic Arts’ 2017 game of the same name, the original 2005 Star Wars Battlefront 2 lets players live out their ultimate Star Wars battles as infrantry during the eras of the Clone Wars and the Galactic Empire. Perform well on the battlefront and you can even take control of legendary Star Wars characters like Darth Vader, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Han Solo.

It’s worth noting that Microsoft is on a bit of a classic Star Wars games kick right now with Games with Gold. February’s lineup included Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, while this month’s lineup offers Star Wars Republic Commando. With any luck, maybe we’ll get BioWare Edmonton’s seminal Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic action-RPG in May?
