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.
MonsterVine: 2.5 / 5 by Spencer Legacy
Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles stands on the rougher side of Star Wars games from decades gone by. Though the new additions are a fun idea and the additional behind-the-scenes content is enlightening, the clunky gameplay makes this one harder to recommend than other recent Star Wars rereleases.
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.
Worth Playing: 5 / 10 by Cody Medellin
Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles is a good idea stuck with a mediocre execution. The various mechanics - from the platforming to the combat to the defensive inconsistencies - make what should be a simple game more laborious. While the addition of more characters should be great for fans of Episode I in particular, the fact that none of them play well makes the expanded roster even less appealing to unlock. If you're a very forgiving person, you may have some fun with this, but everyone else is better off playing either another beat-'em-up or another Star Wars game.
