Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles Remaster
Release Date: January 23, 2025
A remaster of the 2000 action game from PS1, based on the Star Wars: The Phantom Menace movie. Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles offers platforming levels and combat involving lightsabers & Jedi powers. We can fight alone or with a friend in co-op mode.
On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles, originally released on PS1 in 2000 by HotGen Studios, the producer Aspyr in cooperation with Lucasfilm Games has refurbished this action game. The main new features of the remaster are modern controls and a cooperative mode for two people on a shared screen.
The action in Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles is based on a movie Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. Due to the blockade of the planet Naboo by the Trade Federation, Jedi monks are sent with an order to resolve the conflict. Crossing the swamps, the city of Theed, the desert Tatooine or Coruscant, they fight battles with droids and other enemies.
In Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles we are dealing with uncomplicated action gameplay, in which platforming stages are combined with fights using lightsabers (capable of deflecting enemy projectiles) and Jedi powers. Depending on the chosen character (Mace Windu, Captain Panaka, battle droid), we have different skills. Thanks to the experience gained through victorious battles fought on ten different levels, we learn new moves.
Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles features plenty of boss fights and additional mini-games. The remastered edition includes modern controls, thirteen newly unlocked characters from the start, all available levels, and combat and training modes introduced in later editions of the game.
The remaster of Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles has a “couch” co-op mode for two players.
Graphics in Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles are full of rough angles. We look at the three-dimensional world of the game in an isometric view.

Game Ratings for Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles Video Game.
Gamer Social Club: 7 / 10 by Fraser Billington
I very quickly got through easy mode in a few hours and jumped straight into Jedi mode which lasted a little longer. If you have never played Jedi Power Battles, while short this Remaster is a must. If you have played it, it’s a great nostalgia hit for a rainy weekend romp down memory lane.
Checkpoint Gaming: 3.5 / 10 by Omi Koulas
STAR WARS: Jedi Power Battles is a galactic disappointment. While some technical updates like faster load times are nice, the force is not strong with its outdated mechanics, frustrating platforming, and missed opportunities to fix core issues. A mediocre game from 2000 with no substantial changes simply doesn't cut it in 2025. It's a Womp rat of a re-release that fails to live up to the legacy of the Star Wars saga.
Nintendo Life: 6 / 10 by Jim Norman
For those who enjoyed the original release back around the turn of the millennium, Star Wars: Episode I - Jedi Power Battles is just about the safest remaster you could imagine. The instant level unlocks and expanded character roster are both nice touches, but Aspyr's limited improvements leave this feeling very of its time. If you can get past the sluggish combat, painful platforming, and performance 'quirks', then this is a fun trip down memory lane; if you can't, then prepare for a lesson in what games felt like a long time ago.
