Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles was a huge part of my childhood. I remember playing it on PS1 for hours, just trying to get past those brutal platforming sections and feeling like a real Jedi every time I deflected a blaster bolt or pulled off a lightsaber combo.

It’s far from perfect. The controls are clunky, the camera is stubborn, and the difficulty can be unforgiving. But none of that mattered back then. It was fast, flashy, and full of Star Wars energy. Every Jedi felt unique, and unlocking characters like Darth Maul felt like discovering a secret treasure.

Coming back to it now, it’s definitely rough around the edges, but the nostalgia hits hard. That old-school charm, the music, the chaos, it all comes rushing back. If you grew up with this game, you’ll know exactly what I mean. Jedi Power Battles might be a relic, but it’s one I’ll always have a soft spot for.

I've mentioned Jedi Power Battles probably hundreds of times to my friends over the last 20 years. It was the first Star Wars game and first PS1 game I think I ever played. It was one of my all time favorites growing up. I was super stoked to see it get a re-release with bonus content.
