7 Star Wars Games Without Jedi We'd Like to Play
When EA bought the Star Wars license in 2014, I was sure the brand would be squeezed like a lemon. In the meantime, I still feel they haven't realized a fraction of its potential.

"War does not make one great"
Although Star Wars has wars in its title, the creators have shown, in addition to a few actual battles, that the Jedi Knights tend to avoid conflict. When I hear Yoda suddenly get serious and say the words I quoted above, I always get the shivers. This is worth showing, especially since there are already several other anti-war games out there. I'm thinking of something in the vein of Valiant Hearts, only set in Star Wars universe.
Currently, fans of the universe are largely people in their 30s or even older. Those who still like this world, but won't watch Clone Wars, expecting a more mature, more serious story.
What if we showed the intertwining fates of a former Imperial officer and a rebel veteran, who get disillusioned in the chaos following the emperor's death and discover how their recent war destroyed a universe they both tried to save in their own way?
What I really miss about games and movies is them expanding our knowledge of the Star Wars universe. To show that it does not consist solely of blasters and fighters or chases and duels.
