I would also allow Omega Force to make a Musou game in this spot.
Plus, the name "Jedi Power Battles" just screams "awesome action combat from a Japanese developer" to me. If we could get something with the tight gameplay and style of Metal Gear Rising, as opposed to Platinum's weaker licensed efforts like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan or The Legend of Korra, I think we'd have a winner. PlatinumGames could make a righteous two-player action game. So, let's take the name and setting, give it to a new developer, and let them have a bit of fun with it. Mindless combat, a bad camera, and some mystifying platforming sections make this a dire game in the Star Wars library. Up to two players could choose between Obi-Wan Kenobi, Qui-Gon Jinn, Mace Windu, Adi Gallia, or Plo Koon, and mindlessly slash their way through hordes of droids. Originally for the PlayStation, Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles was a straight-up action game. So we're bringing the name forward and imagining what things would be like if a developer could do that concept today. To keep things interesting, I'm going to pair one developer with an existing Star Wars game. I've argued before that Disney and Lucasfilm should spread the love around a bit and let more developers make more diverse titles with the license. Regardless of quality, we're currently trapped in a system where there is only one official publisher of Star Wars games: Electronic Arts. It's a large enough library that I didn't want to spend the time counting each one and figuring out which games "counted." Some have been good, but some have been really, really bad.
Since that first title, the Star Wars franchise has seen more than 100 titles. It was the first licensed Star Wars video game ever released.
Parker Brothers would follow The Empire Strikes Back with a game of the same name for the established Atari 2600 platform. That's two years after the release of the Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, where George Lucas and company proved the film franchise wasn't just a flash in the pan. Game developers have been making Star Wars video games since 1982.
