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.

I love Cities Skylines, I've got about 220 hours clocked in this game, but after that time it gets a little boring. How much more interesting would it be if, in addition to regulating traffic, we also had to regulate the loyalty of our citizens to the emperor?

So we are building a city, but in addition to building a water treatment station and erecting a space port, we would also have to paint murals with Palpatine's smiling face, hold rallies in support of the tyrant and quietly arrest subversive elements, lest we lose the acceptance of others.

It is worth remembering that spending on prisons and garrisons should not be too big. It would also be good if our propaganda was associated with places of relaxation and happines. A huge monument to the sinister Sith in the park? That should do the trick.

Of course, we could be a benevolent mayor who simply listens to the citizens and tries to look out for their well-being. We could have if it wasn't for the orders from the top. The city is running out of food? Tough luck, because we need to start producing engines for AT-ATs and we have a month to do this.

Don't want to disturb residents with patrols and searches? Intelligence reports that there's a rebel operative in your town. You have three days to find and capture them. Turn the city upside down if you have to. The people are crying? We don't care.
