If you hold fond memories of Star Wars Episode 1: Jedi Power Battles, the 2025 version might feel more like a lazy rerelease than a remaster, with minimal changes beyond slightly smoother gameplay, some extra characters, and couch co-op—leaving the same dated graphics, frustrating gameplay, and a sense that little effort was made, albeit at a modest price of twenty euros.
