Star Wars - That Game Rules! Ep 052

Punch it, Chewie! Except, Chewie really isn’t in this game... but that’s ok. We’re talking about Star Wars today! The first home console game for the franchise that mattered, Star Wars flew into our living rooms and proceeded to promptly feed us kids our lunch, on a Death Star shaped platter. This game is hard, but is it worthy of that “NES TOUGH” title? Grab a glass of blue milk and put a restraining bolt on that annoying droid. Let’s join farm boy Luke and the gang on an 8-bit space adventure as we determine if That Game Rules!  What was happening with Star Wars in the early 90s? A whole lot, actually. The introduction of the official “Expanded Universe” would kick off a renaissance for the galaxy far, far away. New books, comics, and video games all added to the stories and lore we’ve been digesting like a sarlacc pit for years. But with great content comes the meh, as we take a look at the cartoons Ewoks and Droids.
