Play Super Star Wars - Return of the Jedi Online

Super Star Wars: Return of the Jedi came out on the Super Nintendo in 1994, developed by LucasArts. It was part of a trilogy of Star Wars games on the system, and it arrived at a time when licensed games were often ambitious, if not always polished. This one tried to capture the entire film, from the Sarlacc pit to the Death Star throne room, in a side scrolling action format.

You control Luke, Leia, or Han Solo across various levels, switching between them depending on the story segment. The main goal is to fight through Imperial forces and ultimately help destroy the second Death Star. Signature mechanics include platforming through hazardous environments, using character specific weapons like Luke's lightsaber or Han's blaster, and piloting vehicles in shooter style sections. The pacing is relentless, and the difficulty can be punishing, with enemy patterns to memorize and precise jumps to land. It feels like a condensed, interactive version of the movie's major action sequences.
