This week on The Star Wars Time Show, we attempt something deeply unwise: ranking 85 Star Wars video games live.

From genre-defining classics to forgotten oddities, we build a massive tier list covering decades of Star Wars gaming history. Not every game here is one we’ve personally played, so yes — there’s a Haven’t Played tier — and chat absolutely gets involved when things get controversial.

Expect strong opinions, instant regret, nostalgia, and plenty of debate as games move between S-tier legends and bottom-of-the-barrel disasters.

Whether you grew up with retro Star Wars games or jumped in during the modern era, this one’s guaranteed to spark arguments.

This week on the Star Wars Time Show, Matt and Young Nick break down two stories that hit very different parts of the Star Wars fandom, but both carry real implications for the future of the franchise.

First, we dive into a growing rumor circulating within the industry that Dave Filoni could be preparing to take on a larger leadership role at Lucasfilm, potentially alongside Lynwen Brennan, with longtime president Kathleen Kennedy possibly nearing retirement. We discuss where the rumor is coming from, how realistic it actually is, and what a Filoni-led Lucasfilm might look like in practice, creatively and structurally.

Then we pivot to the bigger surprise of the week: reports that Tom Cruise filmed a lightsaber duel for Shawn Levy’s upcoming Star Wars film, Starfighter. While Cruise’s involvement is eye-catching on its own, the real takeaway is what this confirms about the movie itself: Force users and lightsabers are officially part of the story. We break down why that matters, what it tells us about the direction of Star Wars films, and why this changes expectations for Starfighter.

Topics covered include:

• How credible the Filoni leadership rumors really are

• What Lucasfilm leadership transitions usually look like

• Why lightsabers in Starfighter are a much bigger deal than Cruise’s cameo

• What this means for Force users in future Star Wars films

As always, we separate rumor from reality and talk through what actually matters long-term for Star Wars.
